Have you ever felt embarrassed by sweat stains, even when it wasn’t hot, or had to change clothes more often than you’d like because of unexpected sweating? This may be a sign of a common condition called Hyperhidrosis — a condition where the body produces more sweat than needed for temperature regulation. For many, it can cause discomfort, self-consciousness and disrupt daily life.

At Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic in Kent, we recognise the impact hyperhidrosis can have on your confidence and comfort. Our aim is to offer a caring, straightforward path toward relief, helping you reclaim control over your sweat and life.

What is Hyperhidrosis Treatment?

Hyperhidrosis treatment refers to non-surgical procedures designed to reduce excessive sweating. One commonly used and evidence-based method is botulinum toxin type A administration (sometimes called sweat-reducing treatment) into areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet. This works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands — thereby reducing sweat production.

These treatments are performed in a calm, professional setting and tailored to each person. The process is relatively quick and can offer notable sweat reduction for months, giving many people a welcome break from the daily stress of managing excessive sweating.

Why Consider Treatment — Benefits & Comfort

• Reduced Sweating = Improved Comfort: For many, hyperhidrosis affects daily routines — from constantly changing clothes to worrying about visible sweat stains. Treatment can noticeably reduce or even prevent excessive sweating, making everyday life easier.
• Boost Confidence: Less sweat can mean fewer worries about social situations, work, or personal interactions — helping you feel more at ease.
• Safe & Manageable: Research shows that botulinum toxin type A treatments are effective and well-tolerated, with relatively few side effects in most patients.
• Positive Long-Term Impact: A one-year follow-up study on patients with underarm hyperhidrosis showed sustained reduction in sweat production and significant improvement in quality of life (daily activities, social comfort, emotional well-being) after treatment.

As one of the practitioners at the clinic puts it: “Many people are surprised at how a small procedure can significantly change their everyday confidence — less worry about sweat, more focus on living.”

What to Expect During Treatment

Consultation

First, you’ll have a friendly consultation. We’ll talk about your concerns, where you experience excessive sweating, and which treatment option suits you.

Procedure

• The selected area (for example, underarms) will be cleaned and prepared.
• A very fine needle is used to deliver small amounts of botulinum toxin type A into the skin — typically, only a few minutes per area.
• Most patients experience little discomfort; some mild tingling or a tiny pinch may be felt, but it’s usually brief.

After the Treatment

Results often begin within a few days to a couple of weeks. Many patients notice a significant decrease in sweat, sometimes reduced by more than half.

Aftercare, Maintenance & What’s Next

• You can return to normal daily activities right after your session.
• Avoid heavy exercise, hot baths or intense heat exposure for 24 hours to minimise mild side-effects like redness or sensitivity.
• Effects typically last several months. When the effect begins to fade, you can return for follow-up treatment.
