At Innovate Aesthetics, we offer botulinum toxin treatments for hyperhidrosis, a highly effective solution for individuals suffering from excessive sweating. This safe and minimally invasive procedure is designed to significantly reduce perspiration in targeted areas, providing long-lasting relief from the discomfort of hyperhidrosis.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body needs to regulate its temperature. It can affect various areas of the body, including the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms, soles of the feet, and even the face. Excessive sweating can interfere with daily activities, cause social anxiety, and lead to skin irritation.
How Does Botulinum Toxin Treat Hyperhidrosis?
Botulinum toxin is a licensed prescription-only treatment for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis when topical treatments have not been effective. When injected into the affected areas, botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. This prevents the glands from producing excessive sweat, significantly reducing perspiration in the treated area.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis can be used to treat several areas prone to excessive sweating, including:
• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• Palms of the hands
• Soles of the feet
• Forehead and scalp
Here at Innovate Aesthetics, we focus on underarm treatments.
What to Expect During the Botulinum Toxin for Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Consultation:
During your consultation, we will assess your condition and discuss your medical history and goals. This helps us determine if botulinum toxin is the right treatment for you.
The Treatment:
• The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing agent may be applied to ensure comfort during the injections.
• A series of small botulinum toxin injections are administered just beneath the skin in the areas with excessive sweat production. The number of injections depends on the size and location of the treatment area.
• The procedure typically takes up to 45 minutes and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately after.
Aftercare:
After the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days.
When Will I See Results?
Results from botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis typically begin to appear within 2–7 days after treatment, with full results noticeable after 2 weeks. You’ll experience a significant reduction in sweat production in the treated areas, allowing you to go about your daily activities with confidence.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last around 4–9 months, although this varies between individuals. Repeat treatment can be considered once the effects begin to wear off.
Results & Expectations
Results develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment. Individual outcomes vary depending on skin condition, lifestyle, and treatment plan. During your consultation, we will discuss expected results, number of sessions required, and aftercare to ensure realistic expectations and optimal outcomes.
Safety & Regulation
Botulinum toxin is a safe treatment for hyperhidrosis when administered by a trained and experienced professional. Since it only affects the treated area and does not impact overall sweating, it is an effective and targeted approach to managing excessive sweating. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as localised bruising or discomfort at the injection site.
Treatments are performed in accordance with Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) guidelines using MHRA-licensed or CE-marked products approved for use in the UK. Some treatments may be provided off-label in line with current UK clinical practice and guidance. This will always be fully discussed during your consultation.

Botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis is ideal for individuals who:

• Have tried other treatments like prescription antiperspirants or medications without success
• Want a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution to reduce sweating
