Description
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating due to overactive sweat glands. It can affect areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face and may lead to discomfort, embarrassment, and disruption to daily life.
At AesthetiCare Clinic in Moorgate, Central London, hyperhidrosis treatment is performed in a doctor-led clinical setting to safely reduce excessive sweating and improve day-to-day confidence and comfort.
The treatment works by using targeted injections to temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands. This significantly reduces sweat production in the treated area while maintaining normal body temperature regulation.
Many patients choose hyperhidrosis treatment to improve quality of life in situations such as:
• Workplace or professional settings
• Social environments
• Exercise and physical activity
• Wearing certain clothing fabrics or colours
Areas That Can Be Treated
Hyperhidrosis treatment can be used to reduce excessive sweating in several areas, including:
• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• Palms of the hands
• Soles of the feet
• Forehead or facial sweating
Underarm treatment is the most commonly requested area, as it provides reliable and predictable results.
How Hyperhidrosis Treatment Works
The procedure involves a series of small injections into the overactive sweat glands in the affected area.
These injections temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production.
Because the treatment works locally within the treated area, it does not affect the body’s overall ability to regulate temperature.
Treatment Details

Approximately 20–30 minutes.
Downtime:
