Hyperhidrosis Treatment King's Cross
Prescription injections that reduce the nerve signals activating sweat glands in a defined treatment area, most commonly the underarms.
What it is and how it works
Sweat glands are activated by chemical signals from local nerves. Prescription injections temporarily interrupt those signals within a mapped treatment field, reducing sweat production in that area while the rest of the body's temperature regulation continues.
The active area is identified before treatment so the injection pattern covers the places that matter rather than following a generic grid. The effect is local and temporary, and repeat treatment is based on how and when symptoms return.
Who it is for
- Excessive underarm sweating
- Sweating that affects clothing, work or confidence
- Clients who have reviewed appropriate first-line options
How treatment is mapped
The active sweating field is mapped before treatment so injections cover the symptomatic skin rather than a generic underarm shape.
- The mapped area can be confirmed from the history, visible sweating and, where useful, an iodine-starch test.
- Small superficial injections are distributed in a measured grid across the active field.
- Treatment is local. Untreated sweat glands elsewhere continue to support normal temperature regulation.
What results look like
Sweating in the treated area is reduced, not necessarily eliminated. The result is temporary.
Honest timeline
Reduction often starts within the first week and develops over roughly two weeks. Duration varies by person and area.
Price and sessions

One appointment, repeated only when symptoms return and treatment remains suitable.
Safety and downtime
Your doctor reviews your medical history, medicines and treatment area before confirming suitability. Treatment is postponed when it would not be clinically appropriate.
Small injection marks, tenderness or bruising may occur. Area-specific risks are covered during consent.
Skin-tone guidance
The treatment can be considered across skin tones. Technique and aftercare are adjusted individually, with particular attention to bruising, inflammation and the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Frequently asked questions
Will I stop sweating everywhere?
No. Only the treated area is affected; your body continues to regulate temperature elsewhere.
Is it permanent?
No. Nerve signalling gradually returns, so repeat treatment may be needed.
