At Vie Aesthetics, we understand that excessive sweating affects a large number of men and women. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the palms, soles, underarms, and face. People with hyperhidrosis can sweat excessively even when they are not hot, stressed, or exercising. This can lead to discomfort, embarrassment, and interference with daily activities. If you are struggling with hyperhidrosis, our specialised treatment at Vie Aesthetics can provide the relief you need.
Our treatment uses botulinum toxin injections to target areas affected by excessive sweating. Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that works by blocking the chemical signals between nerves and sweat glands. Here’s a deeper look into the science behind it:
When your body temperature rises, your nervous system activates your sweat glands to cool your body. However, in individuals with hyperhidrosis, the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands are overactive. Botulinum toxin injections work by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates the sweat glands. By blocking this chemical signal, the injections effectively prevent the sweat glands from producing excessive sweat.
This simple yet highly effective procedure can significantly reduce sweating in the treated areas. You can expect to see results within two to 14 days, and these results can last for up to eight months. For sustained effects, we recommend repeat treatments every six to eight months. Interestingly, with each subsequent treatment, the results can last even longer.
For optimal results, we suggest having repeat treatments every six to eight months. Each individual responds differently, and over time, the duration of the results can extend, allowing for longer intervals between sessions. Our team at Vie Aesthetics will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

If you experience any discomfort or have any concerns, our team is always available to provide support and guidance. Specific aftercare advice will be advised to the client by our doctor.
