Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Dry, confident and carefree.
Overview
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be distressing and disruptive, restricting clothing choices, confidence and daily life. A precise, doctor-led botulinum toxin treatment quiets the overactive sweat glands, reducing sweating for months at a time with no downtime.
Sweating is a normal, essential function, but in hyperhidrosis the sweat glands are overactive and produce far more moisture than the body needs to cool itself. The underarms, hands and feet are most commonly affected, often regardless of temperature, activity or stress. The result is visible dampness, staining, social discomfort and a constant need to manage the problem rather than live freely. Treatment uses a purified protein, the same used in anti-wrinkle therapy, injected precisely into the skin of the affected area. The protein temporarily blocks the nerve signals that switch the sweat glands on, so the glands remain quiet for months. The treatment is quick, well tolerated and requires no downtime, and the effect is often life changing for those who have struggled with the condition. At Luminè, every plan is doctor led and begins with an honest assessment of the areas affected, the severity of your sweating and whether treatment, or another approach, is right for you.

Questions
Frequently Asked
What is hyperhidrosis treatment?
It uses a purified protein, the same used in anti-wrinkle therapy, injected into the skin of the affected area to temporarily block the nerve signals that switch the sweat glands on, so they remain quiet for months.
Which areas can be treated?
The underarms, hands and feet are most commonly treated. Your doctor will assess the areas that concern you and advise on the best approach at consultation.
Does it hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. The underarms are generally well tolerated with very fine needles. For the hands and feet, where the skin is more sensitive, numbing cream or a cold pack can be used where helpful.
How long until I see results?
Most patients notice a significant reduction within three to seven days, with the full effect at around two weeks.
How long does it last?
Typically six to nine months. Many patients return once or twice a year to maintain the effect.
Will the sweating move somewhere else?
No. Treatment of a specific area does not cause sweating to appear elsewhere. The glands in the treated area simply remain quiet until the effect wears off.
Is it safe?
Yes. Botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis is a well established, extensively studied treatment with a strong safety profile when administered by a qualified doctor. Potential side effects are discussed fully at your consultation.
