[email protected]At Lip Fillers London, we have made a reputation for delivering the latest hyperhidrosis management with a high success rate.
Treatment involves the use of Botox injections to specific areas of concern, leading to a pronounced reduction in sweat production. With such innovative treatment options, the results are impressive and may last up to about six months before repeat sessions are needed.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which excessive sweating occurs beyond what is required for thermoregulation.
This can either be generalised in the body or localised.
This condition is usually encountered in areas that have a high concentration of sweat glands, such as the palms, soles, underarms, and groin.
Hyperhidrosis is characterised by sweating that is not needed for thermoregulation and often occurs in response to heat or exertion.
Hyperhidrosis is usually worse during summer, but for some, it can be permanent all year round.
In the UK, roughly 2-3% of the population is estimated to have hyperhidrosis, and only 40% of them seek professional assistance with this condition.
Depending on the severity of the hyperhidrosis, the affected areas, or the patient’s circumstance, this condition can be treated with various modalities such as oral medications, Botox injections, iontophoresis (a procedure that employs mild electrical currents), or surgical excision of the sweat glands.
This type causes excessive sweating without any known medical cause. It usually affects the underarms, the face, the palms, or the soles of the feet.
The precise cause of hyperhidrosis is not fully understood; however, it is thought to result from an overactivity of the sweat glands under the influence of the hypothalamus, which is part of the sympathetic nervous system. In some cases, there might be a genetic predisposition.
It occurs in conjunction with other medical conditions, medications, or environmental stimuli.
Some examples of possible causes are:
Hyperhidrosis tends to occur in specific parts of the body where sweating is more pronounced:
Armpit sweating is one of the most common manifestations of this condition.
Although excessive sweating palms are uncomfortable, they can also affect work and social situations.
This can make shoes uncomfortable and give rise to an odour.
Sweating from the forehead, scalp, or upper lip can happen under situations causing stress or anxiety.
These can also become areas of heavy sweating, particularly in the upper torso.
Localised hyperhidrosis may occur here, causing discomfort.
Botox treatment aims to target sweat production in these areas, thereby alleviating the distress and improving the quality of life.
Botox is well-known for its cosmetic applications but has been approved by UK health regulators for the treatment of hyperhidrosis.
Upon injection into the areas of the skin suffering from excessive sweating, botox blocks the signals from the nerves that activate the sweat glands temporarily, leading to a significant decrease in sweating.
The duration of the procedure is relatively short but will require a prior consultation by a qualified healthcare professional to assess whether one is suitable to undergo treatment with Botox.
The results of Botox for hyperhidrosis can last anywhere from 4-14 months, depending on how severe the high perspiration was, how long the area was treated, and how many injections were administered.
Your journey begins with an initial assessment with our experienced cosmetic doctor. Attention shall be given to your aesthetic and medical concerns, resulting in a custom treatment plan tailored to your goals and expectations.
Specific injection sites will be identified for optimal response, which will minimise pain.
To ensure maximum safety and comfort, the treatment area is thoroughly cleaned and may undergo the application of a numbing cream to lessen any discomfort during the procedure.
The medical team injects top-quality, medical-grade botox via micro-needles, focusing on the exact areas chosen during consultation and planning to achieve great results.
Post-treatment advice for aftercare is thoroughly discussed for maximum results, and a clinical review is made 2 weeks later to assess the progress and to make any necessary adjustments for desired results. The clinic prioritises your safety by giving you reassurance and peace of mind with post-treatment care support.
Botox offers an effective solution for reducing excessive sweating by blocking nerve signals that activate sweat glands temporarily. Such relief for several months should be achieved with one session of 80–90% reduction in sweating in the areas treated.
Some other advantages of hyperhidrosis treatment with Botox include:
The use of Botox to treat hyperhidrosis is best suited for those who suffer from this condition and have so far found no relief with topical antiperspirants or other initial treatments.
The condition is most often also associated with social and psychological issues, such as extremely low self-esteem and a stigmatised identity. Untreated hyperhidrosis has far-reaching effects, including recurrent dermatologic conditions, increased risk of developing infections due to saprophytic organisms, and odour.

| Underarms (both) | £500 |
Hyperhidrosis is brought about by an activity of the nervous system, specifically the area responsible for regulating sweat. The triggers include pregnancy, menopause, anxiety, low blood sugar levels, thyroid disorders, infection, or medications.
Yes, our medical clinic is registered and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and our medical practitioners are among the leading experts in their field. All treatments strictly follow medical protocols that ensure safety and comfort.
Certainly. Our clinic has received complete monitoring and certification from the Care Quality Commission to ensure that all treatments performed here are in a safe and controlled environment.
Hyperhidrosis affects approximately 3% of the population; however, there is no evidence that it can be inherited.
Permanent results are achieved through surgery; however, it also carries the potential for risks and complications. Non-surgical procedures such as Botox are considered safer and very effective, generally lasting 4 to 12 months until they need retreatment.
Non-surgical procedures such as Botox are another brilliant solution for people needing to control excessive sweating without undergoing surgical procedures. This minimally invasive treatment may be applied to the underarms, hands, or feet and lasts temporarily for approximately six months. Therefore, consult with our doctor for the most suitable treatment for your needs.
Botox usually gives a pronounced reduction in sweating for around six months. However, since efficiency tends to wear out, maintenance sessions must be done.
The reduction in sweating can generally be experienced after three to seven days, with the full effect achieved within two weeks. We do follow-up appointments to make sure that it works for you and to adjust if necessary.
Botox treatment has very little downtime, allowing most clients to resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure. One or two treatments a year will be necessary to sustain these results.
In conclusion, hyperhidrosis is a distressing condition that can significantly impact an individual’s daily life, affecting confidence, comfort, and social interactions. Fortunately, effective treatment options such as Botox injections provide a non-invasive and long-lasting solution, reducing excessive sweating and improving overall quality of life. At Lip Fillers London, our expert medical team ensures a safe and tailored approach, offering comprehensive consultations, precise treatment applications, and dedicated post-treatment care to achieve optimal results.
