Hyperhidrosis

Relief from Excessive Sweating

At Upper Skin Clinic, we understand that excessive sweating can be uncomfortable and even isolating but it doesn’t have to be. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition affecting up to 3% of the population, causing an overproduction of sweat even when the body is at rest or in cool conditions. While sweating is a natural way for the body to regulate temperature, for those with hyperhidrosis, it can go far beyond what’s considered normal. Sometimes leading to litres of sweat in a single day.

Our expert team of medical professionals are here to help effectively reduce excessive perspiration, helping you feel dry, comfortable, and confident once again.

What Does Hyperhidrosis Treat?

Hyperhidrosis treatment helps with:
• Excessive underarm sweating
• Sweaty palms or feet
• Facial sweating (forehead, upper lip, scalp)
• Discomfort caused by persistent dampness
• Clothing stains and odour linked to overactive sweat glands
• Reduced confidence in social or professional settings
• Difficulty managing sweat with over-the-counter products

This treatment targets overactive sweat glands to significantly reduce perspiration, helping you feel more confident, dry, and comfortable in daily life.

How Does Hyperhidrosis Work?

Our treatment uses the same trusted ingredient found in wrinkle reduction treatments to temporarily block the nerve signals that activate your sweat glands. This simple yet effective procedure is focused on areas where excessive sweating is most common, including the underarms, hands, feet, and face.

One of our experienced Registered Nurses at Upper Skin Clinic will assess your individual needs during a thorough consultation and identify the precise areas requiring treatment. The procedure typically takes around 45 minutes and is minimally invasive with little to no downtime.

Importantly, this treatment specifically targets overactive sweat glands. It does not interfere with surrounding muscles or redirect sweat to other areas of the body. This ensures you maintain natural movement and freedom while enjoying significantly reduced sweating.

Benefits Of Hyperhidrosis:

• Long-lasting dryness and comfort
• Minimal downtime with noticeable results
• Improved confidence and freedom in your daily life
• Effective for underarms, hands, feet, and face
• Suitable for both men and women
• Can reduce skin irritation and improve overall skin comfort

Whether you’re dealing with primary hyperhidrosis (often hereditary and affecting specific areas) or secondary hyperhidrosis (caused by medical conditions or medications), our treatments offer reliable relief.

What Results Can I Expect?

Most clients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 2 to 14 days after treatment, with results lasting 4 to 9 months, depending on individual response. You can expect:
• Drier underarms, hands, feet or face, wherever treatment is applied
• Improved comfort in social and professional settings
• Drier underarms, hands, feet or face
• Less reliance on antiperspirants or absorbent clothing
• A boost in confidence and quality of life

Our team of medical professionals will tailor your treatment to your specific needs, ensuring results are both effective and discreet. Regular maintenance sessions can help keep sweating under control long term.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

For most clients, just one session is needed to achieve noticeable results. You can expect a significant reduction in sweating within 2 to 14 days, with results typically lasting 4 to 9 months.

As the treatment wears off gradually, maintenance sessions, usually once or twice a year, are recommended to keep sweating under control.

Protocol & Treatment Care

Pre-Treatment Advice

To prepare for your treatment:

• Consultation: A detailed consultation with a qualified practitioner (often a Registered Nurse or Doctor) will assess suitability and medical history

• Avoid blood thinners: Refrain from alcohol, aspirin, fish oil, and anti-inflammatories (e.g. ibuprofen) for 24-48 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising

• Stay hydrated and clean: Ensure the treatment area (commonly underarms, palms, or feet) is clean, shaved (if underarms), and free from deodorant or lotions

• Wear loose clothing: This helps avoid irritation after underarm injection

• Avoid excessive heat or exercise on the day of treatment

Post Treatment Care

To optimise your recovery & results:

• No touching or massaging the area for at least 4-6 hours post-treatment

• Avoid strenuous exercise, sauna, and hot showers for 24 hours

• No deodorant or topical irritants in the treated area for 12-24 hours

• Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection

• Results typically appear in 3-14 days, with dryness lasting 4-6 months on average

• Follow up appointment: Often recommended around 2 weeks to assess results and make adjustments if necessary

FAQs

What is hyperhidrosis, and how does it affect me?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the body produces excessive sweat, often in specific areas like the underarms, hands, feet, and face. Unlike normal perspiration, which helps regulate body temperature, hyperhidrosis occurs even when the body is cool. This can lead to discomfort, skin irritation, and social anxiety.

How does the hyperhidrosis treatment work?

At Upper Skin Clinic, our Registered Nurses use a safe and effective treatment to block the signals from the nerves that activate sweat glands. This method targets overactive sweat glands without affecting the surrounding muscles, allowing you to stay dry and comfortable without impacting natural movement.

Is the hyperhidrosis treatment painful?

The treatment is minimally invasive, and most clients experience only mild discomfort. A fine needle is used to deliver the solution into the affected areas, and the procedure typically takes about 45 minutes. You may feel a slight sting during the procedure, but the process is generally well tolerated.

How long will it take to see results?

You’ll begin to notice a reduction in sweating within a few days of treatment, with full results typically visible in 1 to 2 weeks. The effects can last between 4 to 12 months, depending on individual factors such as the severity of hyperhidrosis and the area treated.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

There is minimal to no downtime after treatment. You may experience slight redness or swelling at the treatment sites, which usually subsides within a few hours. We recommend avoiding excessive heat, strenuous exercise, and tight clothing on the treated area for the first 24 to 48 hours.

Is this treatment safe?

Yes, the hyperhidrosis treatment is both safe and FDA-approved. It has been used for many years to treat excessive sweating and is supported by research demonstrating its efficacy and safety. Our team of Registered Nurses at Upper Skin Clinic ensures that every treatment is performed by qualified professionals in a sterile, controlled environment.
