UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by sweating that is significantly in excess of what the body needs for temperature regulation. Unlike normal perspiration triggered by heat or exercise, hyperhidrosis causes uncontrolled, excessive sweating even at rest, in cool conditions, or in the absence of any obvious stimulus.

The most common form is axillary hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating of the underarms, which is the condition we specialise in treating at Belwell Dental. Axillary hyperhidrosis causes uncontrolled sweating of the underarm area regardless of temperature or physical activity. It can affect clothing choices, confidence at work, social situations, and overall quality of life, yet many people are unaware that safe, effective treatment is available.

Axillary hyperhidrosis is not caused by poor hygiene and cannot be resolved by standard antiperspirants alone. It is a genuine physiological condition involving overactivity of the underarm sweat glands, and it is widely recognised by medical professionals as deserving proper clinical assessment and management.

LIVING WITH HYPERHIDROSIS

How it Affects Daily Life

Did You Know?

Many people spend years trying to manage excessive underarm sweating before realising that effective, medically supervised treatment is available.

Confidence & self-esteem

Visible underam sweating can cause significant anxiety and self-consciousness, particularly in social or professional settings. Many patients avoid certain clothing, colours, or social situations entirely.

Work & professional life

Axillary hyperhidrosis frequently affects performance at work, from worrying about visible sweat marks on clothing to feeling self-conscious in meetings, interviews, or client-facing situations.

Relationships & social life

The condition often leads people to withdraw from social activities, physical contact, or exercise, creating a cycle of avoidance and isolation that compounds the emotional burden.

Physical comfort

Persistent dampness can cause skin irritation, fungal infections, and clothing damage. Many sufferers spend significant time and money on workarounds that provide only partial relief.

THE TREATMENT

How Underarm Sweating Is Treated

For patients who have not found adequate relief from prescription-strength antiperspirants or other first-line options, a clinically administered treatment is available that has been used safely for decades specifically for axillary hyperhidrosis, in medical, dental and aesthetic practices.

The treatment works by temporarily reducing the activity of the sweat glands in the treated area. It does this by interrupting the nerve signals that trigger sweating — without affecting the surrounding tissue or the body’s overall ability to regulate temperature through other areas of the skin.

The procedure itself is straightforward and is performed by a qualified medical practitioner in a clinical setting. A very fine instrument is used to deliver the treatment to multiple small points across the underarm area. The appointment typically takes 30 – 45 minutes for both underarms combined.

Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 2–4 weeks of treatment, with results typically lasting between 4 and 12 months. The procedure can be repeated as needed, and many patients find that regular treatment meaningfully transforms their quality of life.

Questions You May Have

At Belwell Dental we offer a clinically administered treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) that works at a deeper level, reducing the activity of the sweat glands themselves rather than simply blocking the surface of the skin.

Yes, This is a well-established medical procedure that has been used safely for several decades, both in the treatment of hyperhidrosis and in other areas of medical practice. At Belwell Dental, it is carried out only by qualified clinical professionals in a clinical setting.

Most patients find the treatment very well tolerated. A very fine instrument is used to administer the treatment across the underarm area, and any discomfort is typically brief and mild. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if preferred.

The appointment typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes for both underarms combined. This includes a brief pre-treatment assessment and aftercare advice before you leave.

Most patients begin to notice a reduction in sweating within 2–4 weeks of treatment. Full effect is usually reached by the end of the fourth week, at which point the improvement in the underarm area is typically very significant.

Results generally last between 4 and 12 months, with most patients experiencing 6–9 months of meaningful improvement. Individual variation depends on factors including metabolism, lifestyle, and the severity of the original condition. The treatment can be safely repeated when sweating begins to return.

Yes and this is entirely normal and expected. The treatment only affects the specific area where it is administered. The rest of the body’s sweat glands continue to function normally, so your body retains its full ability to regulate temperature. There is no systemic effect.

The treatment is suitable for adults aged 18 and over who experience excessive underarm sweating that has not responded adequately to other management options. A clinical consultation is carried out before any treatment is agreed, to confirm suitability and discuss your medical history.

Most patients achieve a very good result from a single treatment session. A follow-up review is offered to assess the outcome and address any areas where the response may be uneven. Repeat treatments are then carried out as and when required, typically once or twice per year.

Yes. There is no downtime associated with this treatment. You can return to work and most normal daily activities immediately. We do advise avoiding vigorous exercise, excessive heat, and tight-fitting clothing for 24 hours following the procedure to allow the treatment to settle optimally.

Her calm and reassuring manner made the experience much easier, and I felt confident in the advice and treatment she provided. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her patients and takes pride in her work, which made me feel well looked after throughout.

The whole team was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the visit a positive experience from start to finish. I really appreciated the level of care I received and would happily recommend the practice to others.

It had taken me some time to commit to Invisalign treatment, and it is undoubtedly a commitment, but Dr Roopa Shah and the whole Belwell Dental Team were an amazing support and have helped me achieve my aim of natural looking straight teeth.
There are many stages to the treatment and Roopa’s care was incredibly precise with everything dovetailed into place so I felt cared for at each step. She is so meticulous and obviously wants the very best for her patients. She’s an absolute delight and has a real eye for detail. I really could not recommend her or the whole practice more. Thank you all.

I have just finished my treatment for two root canals one of which was failed (due to being done some 30 plus years ago and not particularly good job either). This made it very challenging for Nas. I was extremely nervous, I was reassured and was made to feel as ease, had no pain or discomfort and I can’t thank Nas and Paula enough. First class service. I am so thankful I get to keep my front teeth. I can highly recommend Bellwell. Thank you guys.

I was pretty nervous about having a root canal however Nassar put me at ease and showed confidence in his ability. I went for it and am so pleased I did. The treatment lasted 1hr 45 mins and was pretty pain free. My tooth is now in much better shape and if I ever need another root canal I know where to go. I highly recommend!

I couldn't recommend this place more...always and throughout every visit we are welcomed with smiles. My husband and I both see different dentists and neither of us could be happier.

I've recently undergone Invisalign and Composite Bonding and the precision and skill used is astounding and I am so so pleased with the results. Every appointment felt like a consultation! For anyone considering either of these treatments, I would highly recommend this practice.

All the staff and nurses are so friendly and welcoming.
