Hyperhidrosis Treatment for Excessive Sweating of the Face, Scalp, Hands & Feet

Advanced Botox treatment at SO Aesthetics NI- An Aesthetic Clinic Near Antrim and Crumlin

If you struggle with excessive sweating of the face, scalp, hands or feet, you are not alone. Hyperhidrosis is a recognised medical condition that can significantly affect confidence, comfort, and quality of life- often regardless of temperature, activity, or stress levels.

At SO Aesthetics NI, a nurse-led aesthetic clinic near Antrim and Crumlin, we offer an advanced treatment for hyperhidrosis using Botulinum Toxin (Botox) to safely and effectively reduce excessive sweating in targeted areas.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the body produces excessive sweat beyond what is required for normal temperature regulation. It commonly affects specific areas, including:

  • Face

  • Scalp

  • Hands (palms)

  • Feet (soles)

For many patients, excessive sweating can feel unpredictable, persistent, and difficult to manage with standard antiperspirants alone.

Excessive sweating of the face

Facial hyperhidrosis can be particularly distressing due to its visibility. Patients often report:

  • Constant sweating on the forehead, upper lip, or cheeks

  • Makeup breaking down quickly

  • Feeling self-conscious in professional or social settings

  • Avoiding close contact or photographs

At our aesthetic clinic near Antrim and Crumlin, facial hyperhidrosis treatment is approached with advanced anatomical knowledge and careful dosing to maintain natural facial movement while reducing excessive sweating.


Excessive sweating of the scalp

Excessive sweating of the scalp may cause:

  • Hair appearing wet shortly after styling

  • Discomfort, itching, or irritation

  • Reduced confidence at work or events

Botulinum toxin can be strategically placed across the scalp to reduce sweat production, helping you feel more comfortable and confident throughout the day.


Excessive sweating of the hands

Palmar hyperhidrosis (hands) can interfere with everyday activities such as:

  • Handshakes and professional interactions

  • Writing, typing, and phone use

  • Exercise and grip-based activities

Botox treatment for excessive sweating of the hands can significantly reduce moisture and improve daily function.


Excessive sweating of the feet

Plantar hyperhidrosis (feet) can lead to:

  • Slipping inside shoes

  • Skin irritation or blisters

  • Persistent odour

  • Avoidance of certain footwear

Treatment with botulinum toxin may help reduce excessive sweating of the feet and improve overall comfort.


 

How Does Botox Help Excessive Sweating?

Sweat glands are stimulated by nerve signals. Botulinum toxin (Botox) works by blocking these signals, reducing sweat production in the treated area.

This treatment is widely used for hyperhidrosis and offers a non-surgical, evidence-based option for patients who have not found relief with topical treatments.
