Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
at The Axis Clinic in London
What Is Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)?
Excessive sweating, medically known as Hyperhidrosis, occurs when the body produces more sweat than necessary to regulate temperature. This can affect specific areas such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, or face, and often occurs without any clear trigger.
The condition can significantly affect comfort, confidence, and daily life, leading many people to avoid social or professional situations. At The Axis Clinic in North London, we offer safe, non-surgical treatments to effectively manage and reduce excessive sweating.
One of our most effective solutions is the use of Anti-wrinkle Injections containing botulinum toxin, which temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands.
What treatments are available for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) at The Axis Clinic?
We offer safe, non-surgical treatments to effectively control and reduce excessive sweating. Our primary solution is Anti-Wrinkle Injections containing botulinum toxin, which temporarily block the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. This prevents the glands from overproducing sweat, providing long-lasting relief and restoring comfort.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, usually taking between 15 and 30 minutes, with little to no downtime. Results typically begin to appear within 2 to 7 days, offering up to 6 months of dryness and comfort. Clinical studies have shown that this treatment can reduce sweating by as much as 80% in treated areas.
What Causes Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)?
Understanding Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive, producing more perspiration than the body needs to regulate temperature. This process is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, which in some individuals triggers excessive sweating even without heat or physical exertion.
Types of Hyperhidrosis:
Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis, which is often genetic and typically affects specific areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face.
Secondary Generalised Hyperhidrosis, which can result from underlying medical conditions, hormonal changes, or certain medications.
Contributing Factors
Several factors can contribute to or worsen excessive sweating, including:
Anxiety and stress, which stimulate the body’s natural sweat response.
Hormonal changes, such as menopause or puberty.
Obesity, which increases body temperature regulation demands.
Medications or illness, including thyroid disorders, infections, or metabolic conditions.
In some cases, the cause of excessive sweating cannot be identified. This is known as idiopathic hyperhidrosis, where the condition occurs spontaneously without a clear trigger.

How does Botulinum Toxin treat Excessive Sweating?
Botulinum Toxin, widely known for its anti-wrinkle benefits, is also a highly effective treatment for Hyperhidrosis. When injected into specific areas, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands. By interrupting these signals, the glands become less active, significantly reducing sweat production and helping you stay dry and comfortable.
