Hyperhydrosis Treatment Summary
The anti-wrinkle treatment that used to treat wrinkles is also licensed in the UK for treating axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis and is often referred to as ‘Sweatox’ treatment.
Botulinum Toxin is generally very effective for treating hyperhidrosis and requires multiple small injections in the armpit. It can also be used for treating hyperhidrosis of the hands, feet, parts of the body and even the face. Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms, palms, soles of the feet and, in some cases, the face or scalp. For many patients, the condition has a significant impact on daily life, influencing professional confidence, social interactions and overall comfort.
At Dr Joney De Souza Clinic, treatment for hyperhidrosis is approached with the same precision and medical oversight that defines all of Dr De Souza’s work. The emphasis is on restoring confidence through a solution that is both highly effective and discreet.
Our patients return to us year after year for natural, balanced results. Every review reflects our commitment to precision, safety and a personalised approach to aesthetic care.
The most effective medical approach for hyperhidrosis involves the use of targeted injections that temporarily block the chemical signals that activate the sweat glands.
This reduces sweating significantly in the treated area without affecting normal body function.
The treatment takes around 20–30 minutes
The area is gently prepared, and a series of small injections are placed just below the skin
Results begin to develop within 7–14 days
Effects typically last 4–6 months, sometimes longer with repeated treatments
The procedure is comfortable, requires no downtime and allows patients to return to normal activities immediately.
All treatments consist of 1 session unless it is a package, which will have multiple sessions based on treatment.

To help you feel fully informed, we’ve gathered the questions our patients most often ask about undergoing hyperhidrosis treatment with us.
We use a state-of-the-art, medically approved device that delivers precisely controlled thermal energy below the skin surface to target and disable underarm sweat and odor glands. Treatment begins with a local anaesthetic to ensure comfort. The procedure typically takes about 60–90 minutes, including preparation, numbing, and treatment.
Many patients see significant reduction of underarm sweating after just one session. In some cases, depending on your severity and personal response we might recommend a second session several months later to maximise results.
Once the sweat glands are permanently deactivated, they do not regenerate. For most patients, this means a long-lasting, maintenance-free reduction in underarm sweat and odor.
Discomfort is minimal. The underarms are numbed with local anaesthetic, so most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure. Some mild sensations, warmth, pressure, or suction may occur, but these are typically well tolerated.
Yes. The treatment only targets the sweat glands in the underarms — which represent a small fraction of your body’s total sweat glands. Your body’s natural ability to regulate temperature and sweat elsewhere remains unaffected.
Based at 49 Blandford Street in Marylebone, Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser Clinic is known for its refined, personalised approach to aesthetic medicine. Under the expert care of Dr Joney, every treatment is tailored to enhance natural beauty and maintain long-term skin health.
Dr Joney will advise you on aftercare, such as avoiding strenuous exercise or massaging the area for 24 hours. Many patients choose to book a review appointment around two weeks later, where any fine-tuning can be carried out if necessary.
Results typically last between three to six months, depending on your individual response and the area treated. With regular maintenance treatments, you’ll notice smoother skin, softer lines, and a fresher, more relaxed appearance that still looks entirely natural.
