Understanding Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond what's needed for temperature regulation. Primary hyperhidrosis typically affects specific areas—underarms, palms, feet, or face—without an underlying medical cause. It often begins in adolescence and can run in families. The condition isn't about hygiene; it's overactive sweat glands responding to triggers that wouldn't cause sweating in most people.
Impact on Daily Life
Living with excessive sweating affects countless daily decisions. Clothing choices are limited—avoiding certain colours and fabrics. Social situations cause anxiety. Professional settings feel embarrassing. Physical contact becomes uncomfortable. Many people with hyperhidrosis plan their lives around managing sweat, affecting confidence, relationships, and career. Effective treatment transforms not just the symptom, but quality of life.
How Treatment Works
Anti-wrinkle injections are FDA-approved specifically for treating hyperhidrosis. When injected into underarm skin, they temporarily block the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. This dramatically reduces sweat production in the treated area—typically by 80-90%. The treatment doesn't affect your body's ability to regulate temperature overall; it simply prevents excessive localised sweating.
Treatment Experience and Results
Treatment takes approximately 30 minutes per underarm. We apply numbing cream first for comfort, then administer multiple small injections across the treatment area. Results begin within 2-7 days, with maximum dryness reached within two weeks. Most patients enjoy 4-7 months of significantly reduced sweating. Many describe finally feeling free to wear what they want and live without constant worry.

-
Yes, completely safe. Your body has millions of sweat glands distributed across your skin. Blocking sweat production in the underarms—a relatively small area—doesn't affect your body's ability to regulate temperature. You'll continue sweating normally from untreated areas. This treatment has been FDA-approved for hyperhidrosis since 2004 and has an excellent safety record.
-
Results typically last 4-7 months, with some patients experiencing even longer benefits. Most patients return 2-3 times per year for maintenance. Many find that with regular treatment, the duration extends over time. We'll help you establish a maintenance schedule that keeps you consistently dry and confident.
-
We apply strong numbing cream before treatment to maximise comfort. While you'll feel multiple small injections, most patients find the procedure very tolerable—especially knowing the life-changing results ahead. Any discomfort is brief and subsides immediately after treatment. Most patients say it's far more comfortable than they expected.
-
Treatment typically reduces underarm sweating by 80-90%—a dramatic improvement that transforms daily life for most patients. Some minimal sweating may remain, which is actually beneficial for the skin. The goal is eliminating excessive, problematic sweating while maintaining normal skin function. Most patients describe the reduction as life-changing.
-
Yes, anti-wrinkle injections can treat excessive sweating of the hands, feet, and forehead. However, underarms are the most commonly treated and straightforward area. Hands and feet require more injections and can be more uncomfortable. During consultation, Dr. Phillips will discuss options for your specific concerns and recommend the most appropriate approach.
