What Is Excessive Sweating?
Excessive sweating — medically known as hyperhidrosis — is more than just a nuisance. It’s a condition that can interfere with daily activities, undermine your confidence and cause social discomfort. At Define Clinic, we understand how distressing it can be to feel like your body is working against you and we’re proud to offer discreet, effective treatment options that can help you take back control.
Whether you’ve tried every antiperspirant on the shelf or are simply tired of planning your life around sweat patches, there is a clinically-proven solution. Our expert-led Botox London treatments for hyperhidrosis are safe, swift and transformative — giving you the freedom to move through the world without fear or self-consciousness.
Understanding Excessive Sweating
Sweating is the body’s natural cooling system, triggered by heat, physical exertion or emotional stress. But for people with excessive sweating, these glands go into overdrive — often without any clear reason. This kind of sweating can happen even when the body doesn’t need to regulate temperature and can persist throughout the day regardless of your environment or activity level.
Hyperhidrosis typically affects specific areas, most commonly:
- Underarms
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Forehead and scalp
- Groin or lower back
The impact of excessive sweating can extend far beyond physical discomfort. Many people feel anxious about their appearance, worry about odour, or avoid close contact with others. Clothing choices become limited, makeup wears off prematurely, and the need to freshen up constantly becomes exhausting. In severe cases, it can even interfere with professional life, particularly for those working in client-facing or public roles.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Hyperhidrosis is more common than many realise and help is available.
Treating Excessive Sweating
While Botox London is often associated with the softening of wrinkles and lines for smoother skin, its medical applications go far beyond aesthetics. One of its most powerful and well-established uses is in treating excessive sweating.
When injected into targeted areas, Botox London works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals sent from the nerves to your sweat glands. Without these signals, the glands stop overproducing sweat — significantly reducing perspiration in the treated area. The treatment doesn’t affect the body’s ability to cool down as it only targets the specific areas that are overactive.
At Define Clinic, our skilled practitioners use precise mapping techniques to determine the ideal placement and dosage for your individual case. Whether you’re struggling with underarm sweat or palmar hyperhidrosis, treatment is personalised to ensure the best possible results with minimal discomfort.
What To Expect From Treatment
One of the reasons patients choose this type of treatment for excessive sweating is how quick and convenient it is. Most appointments take no more than 30 minutes and require no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your visit, making it ideal even for those with busy schedules.
The results typically become noticeable within a few days, with full effect visible after 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients enjoy reduced sweating for 4 to 6 months, after which top-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain results.
Many report a dramatic improvement in quality of life — feeling more confident in their appearance, more relaxed in social settings and less reliant on frequent wardrobe changes or antiperspirants.
