Understanding excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, occurs when the sweat glands produce more moisture than the body needs to regulate temperature. Unlike normal sweating that happens with heat, stress, or activity, hyperhidrosis is ongoing and often unpredictable. It can affect different parts of the body—such as the underarms, hands, feet, face, or scalp—and may interfere with daily life.
People living with hyperhidrosis may find certain tasks difficult because of constant dampness. The condition can affect anyone, and may be influenced by genetic factors, certain medical conditions, or medications. Identifying whether there is an underlying cause is important, as this guides appropriate treatment approaches.
Why excessive sweating can be challenging
Hyperhidrosis is more than a physical concern–common challenges include:
- Difficulty with gripping objects, using electronics, or wearing certain clothing.
- Worry about visible sweat marks or damp handshakes.
- Challenges in jobs that require precision, presentations, or public interaction.
- Prolonged moisture may lead to irritation.
Acknowledging the effects of excessive sweating is the first step toward effective management.
Treatment options for excessive sweating
There are a range of strategies to help manage hyperhidrosis, from lifestyle measures to advanced medical therapies. The right choice depends on the severity of sweating and the area affected.
At-home and lifestyle approaches
- Medical-strength antiperspirants to reduce sweat production.
- Absorbent aids such as powders, wipes, or clothing shields.
- Good hygiene routines to minimise odour and skin irritation.
These may help mild cases but are usually not sufficient for more persistent sweating.
Medical treatments
- Prescription topicals: Formulations that reduce sweat gland activity.
- Oral medications: Regulate nerve signals that trigger sweating.
- Iontophoresis: A device-based therapy using mild electrical currents to reduce sweating, often used for hands and feet.
- Neuromodulator therapy: Temporarily reduces overactive sweat gland activity by blocking nerve signals.
- Surgical options: For severe, resistant cases.
Treatment is always personalised to your needs, lifestyle, and medical history.
What to expect from treatment
The aim of treatment is to reduce and manage sweating, rather than eliminate perspiration completely. Results depend on the treatment chosen and your individual response, with many people noticing improvements within days or weeks. Some therapies require repeat sessions to maintain results.
Excessive sweating treatment at Cosmetic Connection
At Cosmetic Connection, we understand how disruptive hyperhidrosis can be to everyday life. Our clinicians offer thorough consultations to assess your situation and discuss treatment options tailored to your needs.
Treatment Areas for Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can occur in many different parts of the body. While sweating is a normal way for the body to regulate temperature, overactive sweat glands in specific areas can cause persistent dampness and discomfort. At Cosmetic Connection, we offer targeted treatments designed to reduce sweat production and improve comfort in your daily life.
Common treatment areas include:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis):Â Learn more about our underarm sweating treatments.
- Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis): Explore our treatments for sweaty hands.
- Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
- Face and scalp
- Chest and back
Why treatment is personalised
Not everyone experiences hyperhidrosis in the same way. For some, it’s limited to one area, while others may notice symptoms across multiple regions. During your consultation, our clinicians assess the pattern and severity of your sweating to recommend the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
It’s important to first see your GP to exclude potentially treatable medical conditions that can cause excessive sweating–especially if you have one-sided sweating, or night sweats.
We want to answer any questions you may have.
If you can’t find the answers to your questions, get in touch with us and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Profuse sweating is a symptom of many medical conditions. Thyroid dysfunction, blood diseases, infections, medications, and hormone imbalance can all be responsible.
Catch up with your local GP if you’ve developed:
- New excessive sweating
- Sweating at night
- Change in sweating pattern
- Sweating on one side only
- Excessive sweating associated with other symptoms like weight loss
Idiopathic hyperhidrosis is when your profuse sweating has no identifiable cause.
Yes, there are various types of injections which may help with excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

The experience of pain during excessive sweating treatments can vary depending on the specific method used and an individual’s pain tolerance. Generally, non-surgical procedures are designed to minimise discomfort.
We often apply various numbing methods to reduce sensation in the area before the treatment.
The timeline for seeing results from treatment for excessive sweating depends on the specific method used.
Most treatments give a reduction in sweating within days to weeks.
It’s important to have realistic expectations and to discuss the expected timeline for results with your healthcare provider based on the specific treatment they recommend for you.
Following non-surgical options for excessive sweating, it’s generally advisable to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation or infection. Strenuous exercise and excessive heat exposure, such as saunas or hot tubs, should also be avoided for the first day or two to minimise swelling and allow the treatment to settle. Refraining from alcohol consumption for 24 hours can help reduce the risk of bruising.
When performed by a qualified medical professional, treatments for excessive sweating are categorised as low-risk.
The side effects of treatments for excessive sweating can vary depending on the specific method used.
For most treatment methods, side effects are typically mild and temporary, occurring at the treatment sites. These can include:
- Pain or stinging sensations during the treatment.
- Localised swelling, redness, or tenderness.
- Bruising.
- Bleeding.
Less common side effects might include temporary muscle weakness (depending on the modality and area treated).
Compensatory sweating after treatments for excessive sweating is not a common side effect, and when it does occur, it is generally reported to be mild at worst according to some sources. It is only temporary.
