Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition in which the body produces more sweat than is needed for temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms, palms, soles, face, or scalp, often occurring unpredictably and unrelated to heat or exertion. 


While harmless in itself, it can cause embarrassment, discomfort, and social anxiety. At Haus of Ästhetik, we manage hyperhidrosis through targeted, evidence-based treatments that safely reduce sweat production and restore comfort and confidence.

Overview

Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition in which the body produces more sweat than is needed for temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms, palms, soles, face, or scalp, often occurring unpredictably and unrelated to heat or exertion. 


While harmless in itself, it can cause embarrassment, discomfort, and social anxiety. At Haus of Ästhetik, we manage hyperhidrosis through targeted, evidence-based treatments that safely reduce sweat production and restore comfort and confidence.

  • Hyperhidrosis affects around 2–3% of the UK population, though it is often under-reported due to embarrassment. It can begin in adolescence or early adulthood and persist throughout life, affecting men and women equally.

    • Persistent or episodic sweating exceeding what is necessary for cooling

    • Damp clothing, wet palms, or slippery feet

    • Difficulty gripping objects or wearing certain fabrics

    • Secondary irritation or infection (especially underarms or groin)

    • Emotional distress or avoidance of social contact

  • NICE and the BNF advise a stepwise approach: start with topical aluminium chloride, progressing to iontophoresis or botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections for axillary hyperhidrosis. Oral anticholinergics such as oxybutynin may be prescribed under medical supervision for resistant cases.

    Our Botulinum Toxin Hyperhidrosis Protocol follows this NICE pathway precisely, using BoNT-A (MHRA-licensed) to safely reduce sweating by 80–90% for up to seven months.

    For skin and barrier support, we complement toxin therapy with Mesoestetic Antioxidant & Hydration Protocols, including Fast Skin Repair and Bodyshock Firm & Go, to condition the skin post-procedure and maintain local hydration.


    • Primary treatment: Botulinum Toxin (BoNT-A) – medical POM procedure.

    • Complementary care: Mesoestetic Hydracream Fusion and Fast Skin Repair – rebalance the skin barrier and support comfort after treatment.

    • At-home maintenance: Mesoestetic Bodyshock Reducer Gel – aids lymphatic drainage and smoothness in localised areas prone to sweating.

  • 1. Botulinum Toxin (MHRA-Approved for Axillary Hyperhidrosis)

    • NICE recommends botulinum toxin type A as a first-line treatment for primary axillary hyperhidrosis when topical therapy fails.

    • Small intradermal injections temporarily block acetylcholine release at sweat glands, reducing sweating by up to 90%.

    • Results appear within 1–2 weeks and last 4–7 months.

    • Performed under medical prescription following full assessment and consent, in compliance with CQC Regulation 12.

    2. Prescription Topical Aluminium Chloride Solutions

    • Advised by BNF as an initial non-invasive option for focal sweating.

    • Reduces gland activity by obstructing sweat duct openings.

    • Suitable for mild to moderate cases or maintenance following injections.

    3. Oral Anticholinergic Therapy (Specialist Use)

    • BNF lists glycopyrronium bromide or oxybutynin as systemic options when topical and injectable measures are insufficient.

    • These reduce generalized sweating but may cause side effects; typically managed under medical supervision.

    4. mesoestetic Dermobooster Peptides & LED Therapy (Supportive Care)

    • Enhance skin condition and reduce irritation linked with sweating.

    • LED therapy can calm inflammation and support barrier repair in affected areas.

    5. Lifestyle & Skincare Support

    • NICE and NHS recommend breathable fabrics, non-occlusive footwear, stress reduction, and avoidance of strong antiperspirants with alcohol or fragrance.

    • Haus of Ästhetik provides tailored guidance to integrate clinical and lifestyle management for lasting control.

  • Treatment suitability depends on the area affected, severity, and whether the condition is primary or secondary. A full consultation is essential to rule out underlying causes such as thyroid dysfunction or medication effects. Botulinum toxin is safe for most adults but contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in neuromuscular disorders.

    • Botulinum toxin: 80–90% reduction in sweating within 7–14 days, lasting 4–7 months.

    • Topical treatments: gradual improvement over 1–2 weeks with continued use.

    • Oral therapy: systemic reduction in perspiration but with variable tolerance.Patients report improved comfort, confidence, and quality of life with minimal downtime.

    • Avoid vigorous activity, heat exposure, or sauna use for 24 hours post-treatment.

    • Do not shave or apply deodorant to treated areas for 12–24 hours.

    • Cleanse gently and keep skin hydrated to prevent irritation.

    • Results can be maintained with periodic re-treatment every 6–8 months.

    • Follow-up review recommended 2 weeks post-procedure to assess response and adjust plan.

  • Book a Hyperhidrosis Consultation at Haus of Ästhetik for a detailed medical evaluation and tailored treatment plan. We will assess the pattern and triggers of sweating, discuss medical and procedural options, and create a strategy that balances safety, comfort, and longevity. 


    All treatments are conducted under CQC Regulation 12: Safe Care and Treatment, following NICE and BNF recommendations for safe, effective management. Expect discreet, evidence-based care that helps you feel confident in every setting.
