Hyperhidrosis is a condition of excessive sweating. Many different areas of the body may be affected, most commonly the armpits and hands.
Most cases of excessive sweating have no identifiable cause (known as idiopathic hyperhidrosis).
There are medical conditions that can cause excessive sweating. These include infections, medications, hormone imbalance, and blood illnesses.
Sweat reduction treatment uses anti-sweat injections to temporarily switch off the communication between nerves and sweat glands. This reduces the production of sweat.
Sweat reduction can treat the following areas:
- Under arms (armpits, axillae)
- Under breast
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Scalp and forehead
- Upper lip
The area and extent of treatment determines the cost of your sweat reduction.
For more information about the starting and average price of sweat reduction injections, please see our pricing page.
Some cases of hyperhidrosis are genetic, while others are acquired. Medical causes of hyperhidrosis should be excluded before sweat reduction treatment.
Both sweat reduction and Miradry are effective treatments for excessive sweating. Sweat reduction injections are quicker and far less painful than Miradry. However Miradry may achieve longer lasting results.
Treating excessive sweating with sweat reduction is often the preferred first-line treatment. Miradry is usually reserved for cases that don’t respond to sweat reduction.
Sweat reduction injections are a simple treatment.
Following your comprehensive consultation, we clean, mark, and numb the treatment area.
We then inject anti-sweat product using tiny needles. The injections are placed just beneath the skin in a grid pattern.
Sweat reduction treatment takes 10-20 minutes.
Sweat reduction for excessive sweating has minimal pain.
Here at Cosmetic Connection, we have a range of strong numbing options available to ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
Sweat reduction starts working in 3-5 days. The full effect is seen in 2 weeks.
Sweat reduction lasts 3-12 months depending on the area treated.
Consistent maintenance can increase the longevity.
No, there is no strong evidence to suggest that you will sweat more in other areas after having sweat reduction.
If your sweat reduction treatment didn’t work, you can explore other options like Miradry and surgery.
Prepare for your sweat reduction with these guidelines:
- Cease all supplements 1 week before your treatment (unless taking for medical reasons)
- Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
- Wash off any deodorant from the planned treatment area before your appointment
- Avoid applying anti-perspirant 24 hours before your appointment
After your sweat reduction, there will be slight redness and small bumps under the skin. These improve within 15 minutes.
The treatment will start working in 3-5 days, with the full effect seen in 14 days.
Sweat reduction is a low-risk treatment.
Visiting an experienced, doctor-led medical clinic is the best way to ensure that your sweat reduction is performed safely.
Side effects from sweat reduction include mild, temporary skin redness.
A rare risk from sweat reduction is a temporary cold-like illness. This will resolve on its own after a few days.
The following groups are unsuitable for sweat reduction injections:
- Aged under 18
- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding

Being bothered by excessive sweating is more common than you may think. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is a condition whereby you produce more sweat than necessary. Sweating is a physiological function that aids in regulating body temperature. Your body has in-built mechanisms to stop sweating when it’s at normal temperature.
Some people find that no matter the climate they seem to produce an abnormal amount of sweat. This most commonly affects the underarms, but can also affect the face, palms and soles.
Most cases of excessive sweating are idiopathic (no identifiable cause). However some cases may have an identifiable and treatable medical cause. Treating the medical cause improves sweating in such cases. You should see your GP for excessive sweating that has recently developed, affects one side of the body, or predominantly occurs at night. For idiopathic cases, sweat reduction injections are an effective and convenient treatment option.
Best treatments for excessive sweating
There are a number of different treatment options to manage excessive sweating. They are categorised as follows:
Antiperspirants (especially those containing aluminium chloride) are a good first-line option for problem sweating.
Stronger than over the counter antiperspirants, topical treatments for excessive sweating often contain compounds such as glycopyrrolate and oxybutynin.
Oral anticholinergic medications reduce sweat production by dulling the autonomic nervous system.
While effective, side effects must be considered, as the medication may also interfere with other normal bodily functions. These must be prescribed by a medical doctor.
Iontophoresis is a simple solution for excessive sweating of the hands and feet that can be used at home.
It often works best when combined with sweat reduction injections.
Anti-sweat injections (excessive sweating injections) reduce the signals between the nerves and sweat glands, essentially switching the glands off. They are an evidence-based treatment to manage excessive sweating in many parts of the face and body.
Surgery for excessive sweating is the last-line treatment option, usually reserved for cases of severe excessive sweating, or in those who have not responded to more conservative treatments.
What areas of the body can be treated for excessive sweating?
Excessive sweating can affect many areas of your body. The following are the most common areas that people get treatment for excessive sweating:
Excessive under arm sweating is the most common area we treat with anti-sweat injections.
Excessive hand sweating may have you googling ‘how to shake someone’s hand when your hand is wet’.
Fortunately, sweat reduction is an effective treatment option to reduce excessive palm sweating.
Excessive hairline sweating can have you looking nervous, and can be eye catching for all the wrong reasons. (Remember Rudy Giuliani’s hair dye sweat?). Sweat reduction along your hairline are a simple solution.
We can quickly and effectively treat excessive forehead sweating with sweat reduction.
The treatment will also improve your forehead wrinkles.
