What is Hyperhidrosis & How Does This Treatment Work?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is physiologically necessary for normal temperature regulation. This condition affects approximately 1-3% of the population and can significantly impact quality of life, causing both physical discomfort and psychological distress.
There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:
- Primary (idiopathic) hyperhidrosis: Occurs without an identifiable medical cause, typically begins in childhood or adolescence, and often affects specific areas such as the underarms, palms, soles, and face.
- Secondary hyperhidrosis: Results from an underlying medical condition or medication side effect, and typically causes generalised sweating throughout the body.
At Mesglo London, we primarily treat primary focal hyperhidrosis using botulinum toxin injections, which is FDA-approved and considered the gold standard non-surgical treatment for this condition.
The botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for stimulating sweat glands. This interruption in nerve signalling effectively “turns off” the overactive sweat glands in the treated area without affecting the body’s ability to regulate temperature through sweating in untreated areas.
According to research published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment, botulinum toxin injections can reduce sweating by 80-95% in treated areas, with results lasting 6-9 months on average.

HOW HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT WORKS
Hyperhidrosis treatment with botulinum toxin works through a precise biological mechanism to provide effective relief from excessive sweating:
Neurotransmitter Blockade
The primary mechanism of action involves:
- Interruption of nerve signalling – Botulinum toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates sweat glands
- Targeted effect on eccrine glands – The treatment specifically affects eccrine (sweat) glands without impacting other bodily functions
- Temporary deactivation – Sweat glands remain intact but temporarily cease excessive production
- Preservation of normal function – The body maintains temperature regulation through untreated areas
This targeted approach ensures that only the problematic areas are addressed while maintaining the body’s overall ability to thermoregulate.
Gradual Onset and Duration
The treatment follows a predictable timeline:
- Initial effect: Begins within 24-48 hours
- Progressive improvement: Continues over 2-7 days
- Maximum effect: Typically achieved by day 14
- Duration: Results last 6-9 months as nerve signals gradually regenerate
- Maintenance: Repeat treatments often show cumulative benefits with longer intervals between sessions
A 2023 study in Dermatologic Surgery demonstrated that the average duration of effect was 7.5 months for underarm treatment, with some patients experiencing relief for up to 12 months [2].
Comprehensive Symptom Relief
Beyond simply reducing sweat production, the treatment provides:
- Odour reduction – Less moisture means reduced bacterial growth that causes body odour
- Skin condition improvement – Decreased maceration and irritation of chronically moist skin
- Psychological benefit – Significant improvement in confidence and reduction in social anxiety
- Quality of life enhancement – Measurable improvement in daily functioning and comfort
These comprehensive benefits explain why hyperhidrosis treatment has one of the highest patient satisfaction rates among aesthetic procedures, with studies showing over 90% of patients reporting significant improvement in quality of life.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
Your hyperhidrosis treatment journey at Mesglo London includes:
CONSULTATION
We begin with a thorough assessment of your sweating patterns, severity, impact on quality of life, and medical history to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
PREPARATION
- The treatment area is cleansed thoroughly
- Pre-treatment photographs may be taken
- For sensitive areas like palms and soles, topical numbing cream may be applied
- For underarms, no anaesthesia is typically needed as the procedure is well-tolerated
TREATMENT
- Sweat Gland Mapping – For underarm treatment, a starch-iodine test may be performed to identify areas of highest sweat production
- Precise Injection Pattern – Multiple small injections are administered in a grid pattern across the treatment area
- Customised Dosing – The amount of botulinum toxin is tailored to the severity of your condition and the specific area being treated
AFTERCARE
- You can return to normal activities immediately
- Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid massaging or applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours
- A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to assess results and make any adjustments if needed
Most clients experience no downtime after treatment. The injection sites may show tiny red dots that typically resolve within a few hours. The full effect of the treatment develops over 2-14 days.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
- ✔ Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis) – Stay fresh and dry, even in high-stress situations.
✔ Palms (Palmar Hyperhidrosis) – Reduce sweating on the hands for a confident, dry handshake.
✔ Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis) – Minimise sweating on the soles to prevent discomfort and slipping.
Frequently Asked Questions
IS HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during hyperhidrosis treatment. The level of sensation varies depending on the treatment area:
- Underarms: Generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort, described as a series of tiny pinpricks
- Palms and soles: More sensitive areas that may benefit from topical numbing cream applied 30 minutes before treatment
- Forehead: Typically well-tolerated with minimal discomfort
We use ultra-fine needles and advanced injection techniques to minimize discomfort. The procedure is quick, with most treatments completed in 30-45 minutes, and any mild discomfort resolves immediately after the procedure is complete.
IS IT SAFE TO BLOCK SWEAT GLANDS?
Yes, hyperhidrosis treatment with botulinum toxin is considered very safe when performed by qualified medical professionals. Important safety considerations include:
- The treatment only affects 2-4% of the body’s sweat glands
- The body maintains normal temperature regulation through untreated areas
- The effect is temporary, not permanent
- The treatment has been FDA-approved since 2004
- Extensive clinical studies have demonstrated its safety profile
A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Dermatology confirmed the safety of botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis treatment, with no serious adverse events reported across multiple large-scale studies.
HOW SOON WILL I NOTICE RESULTS?
The timeline for results follows a predictable pattern:
- Initial changes: Some patients notice reduced sweating within 24-48 hours
- Progressive improvement: Continued reduction in sweating over days 2-7
- Maximum effect: Typically achieved by day 14
- Duration of results: Effects last 6-9 months on average
Individual response times may vary based on:
- The severity of your hyperhidrosis
- The specific area being treated
- Your individual metabolism
- Whether this is your first treatment or a maintenance session
Most clients report significant improvement within the first week after treatment, with complete satisfaction by the two-week mark.
WILL I SWEAT MORE IN OTHER AREAS?
Compensatory sweating (increased sweating in untreated areas) is extremely rare with botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis. This is because:
- The treatment works locally at the injection site
- It does not affect the body’s overall sweat regulation system
- It targets only the overactive sweat glands in problem areas
- The body maintains normal temperature regulation
This is in contrast to surgical treatments like sympathectomy, where compensatory sweating is a common side effect. A 2023 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that less than 1% of patients reported any compensatory sweating after botulinum toxin treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis.
