At Thames Skin Clinic, we offer effective sweat reduction treatments to help manage excessive sweating and restore your confidence. We commonly treat underarm sweating, palms sweating, hand sweating and feet sweating.
These conditions carry the medical diagnosis of hyperhidrosis. They lead to unpleasant odour from the bacterial growth within the sweat produced, which can be mistaken as poor hygiene. Excess sweating can affect your work, social life and day-to-day activities.
At Thames Skin Clinic, we’re here to help you feel comfortable in your skin. Book your consultation today to safely and effectively reduce unwanted sweat.

Dr Hemming has written a number of articles covering sweat reduction treatments, how they work and the differences between the premium brands available.

Sweat reduction or hyperhidrosis treatment is suitable for anyone wishing to decrease excessive sweating. Treatment is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you are undergoing IVF treatment. We always discuss your medical history during your consultation.
Sweat reduction treatments are safe and performed by Dr Hemming, who is extremely experienced in aesthetic techniques. She is both medically qualified and has a very experienced eye for natural treatment.
Hyperhidrosis treatment at Thames Skin Clinic is not a painful treatment. Local anaesthetic is applied before treatment and a cold compress may be used. You may notice some very mild discomfort when treatment is placed. This is short-lived and does not linger after treatment.
The side effects from hyperhidrosis treatments are minimal, if any. Botox is injected through a very small needle; nevertheless the injection site may be tender and mild bruising may occur. Ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid, is very rare, much less so with the experienced injector physician.
It should not be used if pregnant or breastfeeding as we have no research to prove it is safe for your foetus or child.
Care must be taken if you’ve been diagnosed with neurological or bleeding disorders. Additionally, if you’re currently suffering from a skin infection or allergy or taking particular medication, you should let your practitioner know. Your specialist will be able to advise you further.
Please discuss any current medication with the doctor, especially if you are taking aspirin or Ibuprofen. Medication may need to be stopped before treatment.
After a sweat reduction treatment, there may be a small bump on the skin which usually settles in 5-10 minutes. Occasionally a small pinprick bruise may occur. There is no significant downtime and full aftercare advice will be given at your appointment.
Sweat reduction treatment works by using small amounts of botulinum toxin injected just into the skin where the sweat glands sit. These glands aren’t deep; they’re within the skin itself therefore the action is on the skin itself and not the underlying tissues..
The injections block the nerve signals that tell the sweat glands to produce sweat. Once those signals are blocked, the glands in that area simply stop overproducing. It’s a very targeted approach, which is why it’s especially effective for areas like the underarms, hands or feet. It only affects the treated area, so the rest of your body continues to regulate temperature as normal.
The sweat reduction treatment using anti-wrinkle injections is quick and straightforward. First, the skin is cooled (often with a cold compress) to make the area more comfortable. Then a series of very small injections is placed just under the skin using a fine needle. You may notice tiny raised bumps at each injection point. This is completely normal and shows the product has been delivered into the skin where the sweat glands are.
Most appointments take around 20 to 30 minutes, and discomfort is usually minimal and is often described as a small pinprick sensation. Afterwards, there’s little to no downtime. You can return to normal daily activities, with just a few short-term aftercare precautions.
In most cases, only one session is needed to see a significant reduction in sweating.
You’ll usually start to notice results within a few days, with full effects developing over 1 to 2 weeks. The results aren’t permanent, but they are long-lasting, typically lasting around 4 to 7 months. To maintain the results, most people choose to repeat the treatment once or twice a year, depending on how their body responds.

Treatment for excessive sweating vary by the area of treatment (forehead, underarm, palms, feet). We often get asked about the cost of treatment. At Thames Skin Clinic we pride ourselves on results rather than focus on the price of a treatment, it is more important that we get the correct quality of product rather than offer cut price treatments, products and services (especially when it comes to medical treatments). You will never see Thames Skin Clinic advertising services on social coupon sites such as Groupon as we believe they have a negative impact on our customer safety, results and satisfaction. We also wish to abide by the advertising regulator and work in a safe ethical manor.
