Hyperhidrosis Treatment - Effective Solutions for Excessive Sweating
Are you tired of excessive sweating impacting your confidence and daily life? Our advanced hyperhidrosis treatment offers a reliable solution to reduce excessive sweating, helping you feel comfortable and confident in any situation.
What Is Hyperhidrosis & How Does It Affect You?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by abnormally excessive sweating that’s not necessarily related to heat or exercise. This condition can affect:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Palms of hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
- Soles of feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
- Face and scalp (craniofacial hyperhidrosis)
Beyond the physical discomfort, hyperhidrosis can have profound psychological effects, including social embarrassment, workplace anxiety, and impacts on personal relationships. Many sufferers report planning their lives around their condition, avoiding certain clothing colours, materials, or social situations.
Our Advanced Hyperhidrosis Treatment
At Birkinshaw Aesthetics, we offer a highly effective treatment using medical-grade Botox injections to target the overactive sweat glands. This treatment works by:
- Temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for sweat production
- Reducing sweat production in the treated areas by up to 80-90%
- Providing relief that typically lasts 6-12 months
- Offering a quick, minimally invasive solution with no downtime
Unlike over-the-counter antiperspirants or oral medications, our treatment targets the problem directly at the source without systemic side effects.
The Science Behind Our Approach
The treatment utilises purified proteins derived from botulinum toxin, which temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine—the chemical responsible for stimulating sweat glands. When strategically administered into areas affected by excessive sweating, it effectively “turns off” the sweat glands in that specific region while leaving the rest of your body’s natural cooling system functioning normally.
This targeted approach means you’ll continue to sweat normally in untreated areas, maintaining your body’s natural temperature regulation while eliminating problematic sweating in treated zones.
Treating Different Types of Hyperhidrosis
We offer specialised approaches for different affected areas:
Underarm Hyperhidrosis: The most commonly treated area, requiring approximately 15-20 injections per underarm
Palmar Hyperhidrosis (Hands): Requiring specialised technique and sometimes nerve blocks for comfort
Plantar Hyperhidrosis (Feet): Strategic placement to target problematic areas while maintaining function
Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis: Ultra-precise technique for facial and scalp treatments requiring expert administration

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the treatment take?
The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes depending on the area being treated.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort. For underarm treatment, the sensation is often described as a series of small pinches. For palms and soles, we may use additional numbing techniques to ensure comfort.
How soon will I notice results?
Most people begin to notice a reduction in sweating within 2-4 days, with full results apparent within 2 weeks.
Are there any side effects?
Temporary side effects may include mild bruising, swelling, or discomfort at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 6-12 months, with many clients reporting longer durations with repeated treatments over time.
Will reducing sweat in one area cause more sweating elsewhere?
This is a common concern, but compensatory sweating is not typically observed with this targeted treatment approach. Your body has plenty of sweat glands to maintain normal temperature regulation.
Is the treatment safe?
When administered by our qualified medical professionals, the treatment has an excellent safety profile. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history to ensure there are no contraindications.
