Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating) Treatment

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body requires for normal temperature regulation. Many individuals experience sweating that is localised to one or two areas of the body — most commonly the underarms, palms, soles of the feet or scalp — while the rest of the body remains relatively dry

At House of Smiles, muscle-relaxing treatments offer an advanced and clinically proven solution for managing hyperhidrosis. This treatment is particularly suitable for patients whose symptoms have not responded adequately to prescription-strength antiperspirants.

Carefully administered treatment works to significantly reduce excessive sweating, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in everyday situations.



FAQs
How do muscle-relaxing treatments work?

Muscle-relaxing treatments work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands.
Under normal conditions, the nervous system activates sweat production when your body temperature rises. In hyperhidrosis, however, these nerve signals are overactive. Treatment helps interrupt this pathway, reducing sweat production specifically in the targeted area while allowing the body to regulate temperature normally elsewhere.

What does the procedure involve?

Your clinician will administer a series of very small injections just beneath the skin using a fine needle. The treatment is typically delivered in a precise grid pattern across the affected area to ensure even coverage.
A topical anaesthetic can be applied beforehand to maximise comfort. The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated.

When will I see results and are there any side effects?

Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 2 to 7 days, with continued improvement thereafter.
There is minimal downtime, and you may return to normal daily activities immediately following treatment. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness at the injection sites can occasionally occur but typically resolves quickly.
A review appointment is usually scheduled at 2 weeks to assess results and perform any small touch-ups if required.
