Hyperhidrosis Face Treatment

Hyperhidrosis of the face causes excessive sweating that goes well beyond what the body requires for temperature regulation. For those affected, it can be a source of daily embarrassment and self-consciousness, making social and professional interactions more difficult than they need to be.

Anti-wrinkle injections placed just beneath the skin of the face and crown block the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production and restoring comfort and confidence for 3 to 4 months.

What to Expect

Your treatment begins with a consultation, during which your doctor will assess the areas of concern, discuss your symptoms, and confirm suitability.  Hyperhidrosis face treatment is suitable for most adults, with the exception of those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to the specific areas and severity of your condition.

A local anaesthetic is applied to the targeted areas before treatment begins. Small amounts of anti-wrinkle solution are then injected just beneath the skin across the face and, where relevant, the crown of the head. The session takes around 15 to 30 minutes. Results begin to develop within a few days and are fully established within one to two weeks. Most patients experience a significant and sustained reduction in facial sweating that lasts 3 to 4 months.

Benefits of Hyperhidrosis Face Treatment

Excessive facial sweating is a recognised medical condition that can have a disproportionate impact on quality of life. Unlike sweating in less visible areas, facial hyperhidrosis is difficult to conceal and can affect how comfortable people feel in meetings, social situations or any environment where they feel they are being observed.

Anti-wrinkle injections address this by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical signal that activates the sweat glands. When this signal is interrupted, sweat production in the treated area is significantly reduced without affecting normal facial function or sensation. Results establish fully within one to two weeks and typically last 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance treatments sustain the improvement over the longer term and many patients find the treatment genuinely transformative for their day-to-day wellbeing.

Post-Treatment Care & Side Effects

Following treatment, some simple precautions in the first 24 hours help minimise any swelling and protect the result. Your doctor will go through this before you leave.

  • Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory medication for two days after treatment and one week before
  • Apply ice gently to the area if swelling occurs, wrapped in a cloth rather than applied directly
  • Do not rub or massage the face for at least four hours after treatment
    Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, walking is fine

If you are prone to cold sores, please inform your doctor before treatment, as injections in the facial area can occasionally trigger an outbreak.

Hyperhidrosis face treatment is well tolerated by most patients. Side effects are mild and typically resolve on their own within a few days.

Common temporary side effects include:

  • Mild swelling and redness at the injection sites
  • Light bruising or discolouration
  • Tenderness or soreness in the treated area
  • Mild itching

These effects generally resolve within 2 to 7 days. All potential side effects will be discussed in full during your consultation.

Hyperhidrosis Face Results Timeline

  • Immediately after treatment: Mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites. This settles quickly.
  • Days 3 to 7: The anti-wrinkle solution begins to block sweat gland signals. Facial sweating starts to reduce noticeably.
  • Days 7 to 14: Full results are established. Sweating is significantly reduced and the face remains noticeably drier throughout the day.
  • Months 1 to 3: Relief is maintained consistently across all daily activities and social situations.
  • Months 3 to 4: The effect gradually diminishes as the solution is broken down by the body. A follow-up treatment at this stage restores the relief.

For patients who have lived with excessive facial sweating for years, the improvement in day-to-day comfort and confidence that this treatment provides is consistently described as one of the most meaningful results they have experienced.

Hyperhidrosis Face Treatment FAQs

Facial hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating on the face, often resulting in discomfort and social embarrassment. It can affect the forehead, upper lip, or entire face.

Patients may experience minimal discomfort during the injection process. We use fine needles and can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible.

Many patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 2 to 4 days after treatment, with the full effects usually developing within two weeks. The results can vary but often last for several months, providing long-lasting relief from excessive sweating.
Side effects of hyperhidrosis are rare and generally mild when they do occur. They can include temporary bruising, swelling at the injection sites, or a slight headache. These symptoms typically resolve quickly on their own.
Ideal candidates for this treatment are individuals who suffer from excessive facial sweating that interferes with daily activities. This type of sweating often causes emotional distress. A consultation with our specialists will determine if this treatment is right for you based on your medical history and specific needs.
Anti-wrinkle is the non-surgical cosmetic answer to treating hyperhidrosis. Anti-wrinkle is a protein produced in laboratories that has been used in cosmetic and aesthetic contexts since the 1990s.
Due to the low concentration of the Anti-wrinkle used, this is considered a very safe treatment for hyperhidrosis.
Anti-wrinkle injections, more commonly used as an anti-wrinkle treatment, are placed just under the skin and block the release of acetylcholine, which is the chemical that stimulates the sweat glands. This inhibits the amount of sweat produced.
