If you’ve ever felt embarrassed by sweat patches, avoided certain clothes, or cancelled plans because of excessive sweating — you’re not alone. Hyperhidrosis, the medical term for abnormal, excessive sweating, affects an estimated 1 in 20 people in the UK, and it can have a serious impact on confidence, clothing choices, and daily comfort.
At Mesglo Aesthetic Clinic London, we understand just how disruptive this condition can be. That’s why we offer a dedicated treatment for hyperhidrosis using Botox — a safe, effective and medically approved method to dramatically reduce sweat production for months at a time.
Learn more about the service on our Hyperhidrosis Treatment page.
In this detailed guide, we explain what hyperhidrosis is, how Botox works to treat it, and why Mesglo offers one of the most discreet, advanced solutions in London.
A Personal Note from the Mesglo Team
We know that living with hyperhidrosis isn’t just about the physical symptoms — it’s about how those symptoms make you feel. Whether it’s anxiety before social events, hiding sweat stains under dark clothing, or simply feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, the daily emotional toll can be exhausting.
We’ve spoken to clients who avoided handshakes during job interviews. Others who carried extra shirts to weddings. Many who planned their entire wardrobes around their sweat patterns — even in the winter.
And the truth is, none of that is something you should just “live with.”
At Mesglo, we believe that confidence isn’t a luxury — it’s a basic right. That’s why our hyperhidrosis treatments are more than just a clinical service. They’re an opportunity to help you feel at ease, in control, and more like yourself again.
We use medical-grade Botox, carefully mapped injections, and a tailored plan that fits around your life — not the other way around. And we do it discreetly, with empathy, and without judgment. Because we’ve seen what a difference it makes when someone walks out of our clinic knowing they’ll no longer have to worry about something that’s affected them for years.
So if you’ve been silently coping with excessive sweating, we want you to know: there is a solution. And it’s simpler, safer, and more empowering than you might think.
With care,
The Mesglo Aesthetic Clinic Team
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the body produces more sweat than is needed for thermal regulation. It can occur across the entire body or in focal areas, even when you’re resting or in cool environments.
Common Areas Affected:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Face and scalp
For many, hyperhidrosis can impact daily life — from avoiding certain colours or fabrics to coping with social anxiety and constantly managing personal hygiene.
According to the British Association of Dermatologists, primary hyperhidrosis often begins in childhood or adolescence and persists for years without a clear underlying medical cause.
How Botox Works for Excessive Sweating
While Botox is more famously used for wrinkle reduction, it’s also a licensed medical treatment for hyperhidrosis in the UK. When injected into the sweat-prone areas, Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands.
Here’s how it works:
- Sweat glands receive fewer signals
- Sweat production in the treated area stops or is dramatically reduced
- Normal temperature regulation continues via untreated areas
The result? A significant and often life-changing reduction in sweating, especially in the underarms, hands or feet.
Botox for hyperhidrosis is MHRA-approved in the UK and FDA-approved in the United States for treating underarm sweating.
What to Expect at Mesglo
We tailor your treatment to the area and severity of your symptoms, offering a safe, sterile, and discreet experience.
Step-by-Step Process:
- In-depth consultation: We map the sweating pattern and identify key areas for injection.
- Preparation: A numbing cream may be applied, especially for more sensitive areas like hands or soles.
- Precision injections: Using a very fine needle, Botox is placed across the treatment zone in multiple micro-injections (takes 10–20 minutes).
- Post-care: You’ll receive full aftercare advice. We recommend avoiding vigorous activity and heat exposure for 24–48 hours.
When Do Results Appear — and How Long Do They Last?
- Initial results: 3–5 days after treatment
- Peak dryness: Around 2 weeks post-injection
- Duration: 4 to 6 months for underarms; up to 9 months for hands and feet
Many clients report a dramatic improvement in lifestyle and confidence, including better clothing choices, reduced stress, and more social freedom.

How soon can I go back to work?
Immediately. It’s a true walk-in-walk-out procedure with minimal to no downtime.
