Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can affect confidence, clothing choices and daily comfort. At our doctor-led clinic in Marylebone, Sweatox treatment is used carefully to help manage overactive sweat glands.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, occurs when sweat production is greater than required for temperature regulation. It most commonly affects areas such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet or face. Underarm sweating is the area most frequently treated with Sweatox.
Sweating may occur symmetrically and can be present even in cool conditions or during periods of rest.
Excessive sweating can develop for different reasons and may be classified as primary or secondary.
Contributing factors may include:
Overactivity of sweat glands
Genetic predisposition
Hormonal or medical influences
Stress or emotional triggers
In many cases, excessive sweating occurs without an identifiable underlying illness.
Sweatox is an injectable treatment used to manage excessive sweating by reducing overactivity of the sweat glands. Excessive sweating occurs when nerve signals overstimulate the glands, leading to persistent or disproportionate perspiration. By blocking these signals, Sweatox/botox helps significantly reduce sweating in treated areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet, improving comfort and confidence with long-lasting results.
Assessment focuses on understanding the pattern, severity and impact of sweating. Our medical team considers which areas are affected, how often symptoms occur and whether there are any associated triggers or medical factors.
This allows us to explain why excessive sweating may be occurring and whether treatment may be appropriate.
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is when the body produces far more sweat than it needs to regulate temperature, most often affecting the underarms, palms, and forehead. At our Marylebone clinic we calm the overactive sweat glands with targeted injections, and a consultation confirms the approach is right for you.

Precise injections temporarily block the nerve signals that trigger overactive sweat glands, reducing underarm, palm, or forehead sweating for several months. |

Anti-wrinkle injections, sometimes called Sweatox in this context, are most commonly discussed for localised excessive sweating, as they can temporarily reduce sweat production in specific areas.
Improvement depends on the area affected and severity. Options discussed at our clinic may include anti-wrinkle injections (Sweatox) to reduce sweat gland activity, alongside topical treatments and trigger management. The aim is targeted reduction rather than complete elimination.
It can be. Primary hyperhidrosis occurs without an underlying cause, while secondary hyperhidrosis may be linked to medical or hormonal factors.
Common areas include the underarms, palms, soles of the feet and sometimes the face, depending on suitability.
Results vary, but effects from injectable treatments are temporary and may last several months.
In some cases, symptoms may fluctuate or improve, but persistent excessive sweating often benefits from medical assessment.
No. Many people choose not to pursue treatment once they understand the cause and available options.
