Non-Surgical

Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating — known as hyperhidrosis — can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally distressing. For many, it affects daily life, confidence, and the simple ease of social or professional interaction. Whether it involves the armpits, hands, or soles of the feet, treatment with precise botulinum toxin injections offers a safe, effective, and lasting solution.

The treatment works by temporarily blocking the overactive nerves that signal the sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration in the treated areas. Most patients notice results within a few days, with effects typically lasting six to nine months — often longer with repeat treatments.

As both a plastic and hand surgeon, I take a bespoke, anatomically precise approach to hyperhidrosis treatment. For palmar sweating in particular, I perform specialised nerve blocks and employ refined techniques to ensure maximum comfort and minimal discomfort. Each treatment is personalised — carefully planned to balance safety, precision, and optimal long-term benefit.

Final results 

Most patients experience a noticeable reduction in sweating within days of treatment, with skin feeling drier, more comfortable, and easier to manage. By two weeks, the full effect is visible — bringing renewed confidence and ease to daily life.

Whether for professional comfort, social reassurance, or improved quality of life, this treatment restores balance and freedom — helping you move through the day with confidence, calm, and comfort.

As a surgeon, my focus is on precision, comfort, and results that allow you to feel simply like your best self.

Treatment Packages

To support long-lasting, natural results and offer excellent value, we provide a range of treatment packages at our clinics. These packages are ideal for maintaining aesthetic results, improving skin quality, and managing concerns such as hyperhidrosis or raised scars.

Patients who book a course of three sessions — including botox, skin boosters, hyperhidrosis botox, or a bespoke combination — receive a 10% discount. This ensures consistent, personalised care and predictable, refined outcomes.

Whether you are planning your own treatment journey or looking for a meaningful gift for someone special, our packages offer a flexible and cost-effective way to achieve gradual, natural improvements. Our team is always here to guide you in choosing the most suitable option for your goals.

  • 1. Who is suitable for hyperhidrosis treatment?

    This treatment is suitable for men and women who experience excessive sweating of the armpits or hands that interferes with daily life, clothing, or confidence — particularly when antiperspirants or other non-surgical methods have not been effective.

  • 2. How does it work?

    Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerves that activate the sweat glands, reducing sweat production in the treated area without affecting overall body temperature regulation.

  • 3. Is it painful?

    Discomfort is minimal. For hands, I perform bespoke nerve blocks to fully numb the area before treatment, ensuring comfort while maintaining full function.  For the underarms, a fine needle and topical anaesthetic make the procedure well tolerated.

  • 4. When will I see results?

    You’ll begin to notice improvement within 3–5 days, with the full effect visible after about two weeks.

  • 5. How long does it last?

    Most patients enjoy results for 6–9 months. Over time, repeat treatments can lead to longer-lasting improvement.

  • 6. Are there any side effects?

    Temporary redness, mild bruising, or slight weakness of the hand muscles may occur but resolve quickly. Serious side effects are rare, and the treatment is considered very safe when performed by experienced clinicians.

  • 7. Can I resume normal activities straight after?

    Yes — you can return to work or social activities immediately, though you should avoid strenuous exercise or heat exposure such as sauna or steam room for 24 hours.

  • 8. Is it safe for repeated use?

    Yes. Botulinum toxin injections are safe for long-term use, and many patients choose to repeat treatments regularly to maintain their results.
