What is
hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating caused by overactivation of the sweat glands by the nervous system. It affects an estimated 1–3% of the population and most commonly involves the underarms, hands, feet, and face.

For many people, the condition goes far beyond physical discomfort. It affects clothing choices, professional confidence, social situations, and quality of life. Standard antiperspirants — even prescription-strength formulations — frequently provide inadequate relief.

Neurotoxin injections offer a safe, clinically proven solution that addresses the root cause: directly interrupting the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweat production.

Doctor-led,
always

At Pelle Aesthetics, hyperhidrosis treatment is administered personally by Dr Sabrina. As a GMC-registered GP, Dr Sabrina brings a full clinical understanding of the condition — including the ability to rule out underlying causes and identify when medical referral is appropriate.

She uses only products she would confidently use on close friends and family. The treatment is well-established, extensively researched, and has been used safely in clinical practice for many years.

Where can hyperhidrosis
be treated?

Underarms (Axilla)

The most commonly treated area. Serial micro-injections are administered across the axilla to significantly reduce underarm sweat production. The most socially impactful form of hyperhidrosis, and one of the most successfully treated with neurotoxin injections.

Hands (Palmar)

Excessive hand sweating can profoundly affect handshakes, keyboard use, and daily physical tasks. Treatment is delivered with topical anaesthetic cream for comfort. One of the most life-changing applications of this treatment for those affected.

Feet (Plantar)

Foot hyperhidrosis causes discomfort, odour, and difficulty with footwear. Neurotoxin injections to the soles of the feet are performed under topical anaesthetic and offer significant and lasting relief for many patients.

Frequently asked questions

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition caused by overactivation of the sweat glands by the nervous system. Those affected sweat excessively, often far beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. It commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet, and face, and can have a significant impact on daily life, confidence, and wellbeing.
Neurotoxin injections temporarily block the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. When those signals are interrupted, the sweat glands no longer receive the instruction to produce sweat — reducing perspiration to normal, manageable levels. The treatment does not completely stop sweating; it simply returns the body's response to normal.
This treatment is well-suited to anyone whose excessive sweating affects their clothing choices, job, confidence, or quality of life — and who has found that over-the-counter or prescription antiperspirants provide inadequate relief. Suitability will be fully assessed at your consultation with Dr Sabrina, who as a GP can also rule out any underlying medical causes.
Most patients notice a significant improvement between 7 and 14 days after treatment. Effects are variable — some patients enjoy results for 4 months, others for up to 12 months. Dr Sabrina will work with you to plan repeat treatments at the right time.
Most patients report the injections as pain-free. Some experience mild discomfort which at worst can be compared to a brief sting. For more sensitive areas such as the hands or feet, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Neurotoxin injections for hyperhidrosis are a well-established, extensively researched treatment with a strong safety record. Dr Sabrina uses only products she would use on close friends and family. Common side effects — bruising and swelling at the injection site — are temporary and typically resolve within 48 hours. A full side-effect discussion takes place at your consultation before any treatment proceeds.
Dr Sabrina uses a fine needle to administer a series of small injections across the treatment area — typically each armpit in a grid pattern. The session takes approximately 45 minutes in total. No special preparation is required, though you should arrive with clean skin and without antiperspirant applied on the day.
