Sweating is a natural bodily function, but for some people, excessive sweating – known as hyperhidrosis – can significantly impact their daily lives. Whether it’s sweaty palms, damp underarms, or even sweat-soaked clothing, hyperhidrosis can affect your confidence, comfort, and social interactions. At Omniya Clinic, we offer a highly effective solution: Botox injections for hyperhidrosis. This treatment can reduce excessive sweating by up to 80%, offering long-lasting relief and a dramatic improvement in quality of life.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where the sweat glands are overactive, causing excessive sweating beyond what the body needs to regulate temperature. This can occur even without heat or exercise, and often affects specific areas like:
For many, the impact is more than physical. Hyperhidrosis can interfere with daily life, limit wardrobe choices, and lead to social anxiety or embarrassment.
Common causes include:
Before treatment, we always recommend ruling out underlying medical causes with your GP.
Botox, (botulinum toxin) is widely known for smoothing wrinkles, but it’s also an FDA and MHRA-approved treatment for excessive sweating. When injected into problem areas, it works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production. The result? Sweat glands are temporarily shut down in the targeted area.
Key benefits:
Botox doesn’t travel beyond the injection site and does not interfere with the body’s ability to cool down through sweating in untreated areas. It’s a targeted approach that offers measurable and reliable results.
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation with one of our expert doctors to assess your concerns and medical history. We’ll confirm your suitability for treatment and explain the process clearly.

varies per patient
Your clinician will begin with a thorough consultation to ensure you may be suitable for Botox for sweating. This will include assessing the areas where you experience excessive sweating. The treatment itself is straightforward and typically lasts about 15-30 minutes.
Using fine needles, Botox is injected into the targeted areas to block the sweat glands. Most patients report minimal discomfort, and there is no need for downtime after the procedure. You can resume your usual activities immediately.
After undergoing Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis, patients typically notice a significant reduction in sweat production within two weeks. For underarm treatments, the effects generally last between 4 to 6 months on average, although some patients experience longer lasting results. When sweating begins to return, patients can opt for follow-up treatments.
The ability to regain control over excessive sweating can dramatically improve quality of life, giving individuals the confidence to wear a broader range of clothing without the worry of sweat stains or odour.
Botox is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for hyperhidrosis, particularly in the UK. A 2016 study estimated that approximately 365,000 people in the UK suffer from severe hyperhidrosis that significantly impacts their lives. While not everyone with hyperhidrosis requires Botox, many individuals find it a life-changing option after exhausting other treatments. More recent data suggest that Botox is one of the most sought-after solutions for managing excessive sweating, especially among those aged between 20 and 50, who are often most affected by the condition.
At Omniya Clinic, the cost of Botox for hyperhidrosis starts at £500 per session. The price varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of injections required. During your consultation, we will provide a personalised plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the best possible outcome, and you will be informed of your suitability and cost of treatment during your consultation.
Hyperhidrosis is considered to be caused by a problem with the body’s nervous system. In particular, it is the part that controls sweating. It can be triggered by pregnancy, menopause, anxiety, low blood sugar, overactive thyroid, infections and medication.
