Hyperhidrosis Treatment at Renu Medical Aesthetics "Take Control of Excessive Sweating"

Most people find it very tolerable — just a few pinpricks. The procedure is quick, and no anaesthetic is usually needed.​

Typically around 6–9 months. Some people may get even longer results with regular treatments.​

 No. The treatment only targets a small area (underarms), so your body can still regulate temperature effectively through other sweat glands.​

 Yes — botulinum toxin is a well-established, medically-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis and is widely used across the NHS and private clinics. 

 There’s very little preparation needed. We recommend that you:

• Avoid shaving your underarms for 24 hours before treatment, but please shave 2 days before
• Come with clean, product-free skin (no deodorant or antiperspirant on the day)
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing

You’ll receive full instructions during your consultation.

 Most people begin to notice a significant reduction in sweating within 3 to 7 days, with full dryness often achieved by day 10.

While you can have the treatment at any time of year, many clients choose to schedule it:

• Ahead of summer, holidays, weddings, or public events
• Before job interviews or presentations where confidence is key
• Or simply when sweating starts to increase again after a previous treatment 

To help the treatment work effectively and prolong your results, we recommend:

• Avoid applying deodorant or antiperspirant for 24 hours after treatment
• Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, or hot showers for at least 24 hours
• Avoid massaging or rubbing the underarm area for a few days
• Stay cool and hydrated – overheating can sometimes stimulate sweating before the treatment fully takes effect
• Be patient – results develop gradually over 3 to 7 days

Yes — these areas are more sensitive. We offer numbing options and gentle techniques to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Yes, but you may feel mild weakness, numbness, or heaviness in the treated area for 24–48 hours. Avoid strenuous hand or foot activity during this time.

Generally yes — though in palms, results can wear off slightly sooner due to frequent use.

Treatment is safe when performed by a qualified medical practitioner. If you rely on fine motor skills (e.g. musicians, dentists, surgeons), we’ll carefully assess your needs before proceeding.
