Botox For Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

at Omniya Clinic in London

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.

What Is Hyperhidrosis?

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:

  • Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
  • Palms of the hands
  • Soles of the feet
  • Face or scalp
  • Chest or back

 

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:

  • Primary (idiopathic) hyperhidrosis: No identifiable cause, often runs in families
  • Secondary hyperhidrosis: Linked to underlying conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, or menopause

 

Before treatment, we always recommend ruling out underlying medical causes with your GP.

How Botox Treats Hyperhidrosis

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:

  • Up to 80% reduction in sweating
  • Minimal discomfort
  • Quick treatment with no downtime
  • Can treat underarms, hands, feet, face, and more

 

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.

What to Expect From the Treatment

Initial Consultation

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.

During the Procedure

  • A numbing cream may be applied beforehand
  • Botox is injected with very fine needles into the targeted area (usually 10-15 injections per underarm)
  • The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes
  • Minimal discomfort; patients describe it as a mild sting

 

Aftercare

  • You can return to work immediately
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, or exercise for 24 hours
  • Avoid deodorants or tight clothing over the treated area for 12 hours

When Will I See Results?

You can expect:

  • Results to begin in 3 to 7 days, with full effects visible by 10 to 14 days
  • Sweating reduced dramatically in the treated area
  • Results lasting 4 to 6 months, sometimes longer with regular treatment

 

Once results wear off, the treatment can be repeated safely.

Patients often report feeling more confident, comfortable in social settings, and able to wear lighter clothing without worrying about marks or odour. This can be particularly helpful during warmer months, or for those working in public-facing or high-pressure roles.

Is Botox Safe for Hyperhidrosis, and Which Areas Can Be Treated?

Yes. Botox has been used in both medical and cosmetic applications for over two decades. When administered by trained professionals, the treatment is low-risk and well tolerated.

Possible side effects include:

  • Mild bruising or redness at the injection site
  • Temporary muscle weakness (e.g. hand grip if palms are treated)

 

You should not have this treatment if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have an allergy to Botox or any of its ingredients
  • Have a neuromuscular disorder (e.g. myasthenia gravis)

 

A full medical history is taken before treatment to ensure you are a safe candidate.

Commonly treated areas include:

  • Underarms
  • Palms
  • Soles of the feet
  • Forehead / scalp
  • Chest or back (in some cases)

 

We do not recommend Botox for full-body sweating or areas with infection or broken skin.

The Procedure

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.

Expected Results

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.

How Common is Botox for Hyperhidrosis?

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.

Cost of Botox for Hyperhidrosis

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.
