Excessive sweating
Underarms that soak through, whatever the weather.
What's going on
Hyperhidrosis — sweating beyond what temperature or exertion explains — is a recognised medical condition. It dictates clothing choices, handshakes and confidence in a way people rarely admit until asked directly.
Treatment is well-established and genuinely life-improving: prescription treatment to the underarms reduces sweating markedly for months at a time. It is one of the most satisfying treatments we deliver.
Why it happens
- Overactive sweat glands, usually genetic
- Not caused by anxiety — though it causes plenty
- Sometimes generalised, often underarms or hands
- No underlying illness in most cases
What can realistically be done
Prescription treatment
Injected treatment to the underarms, prescribed after assessment — results in days, lasting months.
Medical check
We confirm it is primary hyperhidrosis and not secondary to something else.
What can't
Treatment lasts months, not forever — typically two to three sessions a year. It treats sweating, not odour from other causes, and it is priced in consultation as a prescription treatment.
Who to see
What a first visit involves
Thirty to forty-five minutes with a doctor or nurse: your history, an assessment, and an honest plan with costs in writing. No treatment at a first visit. What to expect
