Specialist injections that temporarily block the nerve signals causing overactive sweat glands — providing significant, long-lasting relief from excessive sweating in the underarms, hands and feet.
Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating — can have a significant impact on daily life, confidence and professional performance. Standard antiperspirants often fail to control the condition, leaving patients feeling self-conscious in social and professional situations.
Precision injections of neuromodulator into the affected sweat glands temporarily block the nerve signals that trigger sweating — providing significant, reliable relief for 6–12 months. This is the same principle as anti-wrinkle injections but applied to the autonomic nerve supply to sweat glands rather than facial muscles.
At DermaMedica, hyperhidrosis treatment is performed by our GMC-registered clinical team. A prescription consultation is required as the treatment uses a prescription medicine.
The affected area is prepared and the treatment zone mapped — typically the axilla (underarm), hands or feet. A starch-iodine test may be used to identify the most active areas precisely.
Multiple small injections are made across the treatment area, delivering neuromodulator to the nerve terminals supplying the sweat glands.
Clinical evidence shows 80–90% reduction in sweating in most patients — a dramatic improvement that significantly impacts quality of life.
In most patients, sweating is dramatically reduced rather than completely eliminated. For many patients, this represents a return to normal, socially manageable perspiration.
The underarm treatment is well-tolerated with topical anaesthetic. Hand and foot treatment can be more uncomfortable — topical anaesthetic and/or nerve blocks can be used.
Typically 6–12 months for underarm treatment. Some patients find the interval extends with repeat treatment.
Yes — this is a well-established medical treatment used for hyperhidrosis for decades. As a prescription medicine, it is managed with clinical oversight at DermaMedica.

Every patient is different. If this treatment isn't the right fit, one of these alternatives may be exactly what you need.
Combine hyperhidrosis treatment with anti-wrinkle injections in the same appointment — both use the same neuromodulator.
Comprehensive health screening to rule out secondary causes of excessive sweating.
A private GP consultation to explore all options for managing hyperhidrosis alongside injectable treatment.
