Regain confidence with effective, long-lasting relief from excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can affect various parts of the body and significantly impact daily life and confidence. Botulinum toxin is used for managing hyperhidrosis by targeting the sweat glands and temporarily blocking the chemical signals that trigger excessive perspiration. This non-surgical procedure provides noticeable, long-lasting results and can treat areas such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face.
At Smooth Dimensions, our Advanced Aesthetic Nurse, Fiona Mahandru, is highly experienced in administering botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis. During your consultation, Fiona will assess your condition and recommend a personalised treatment plan to ensure maximum comfort and results.

Is there anything I need to do before my treatment?
To minimise bruising, swelling, and complications, avoid the following before your appointment:
7 days before treatment:
- Ibuprofen, naproxen, and other NSAIDs.
- Alcohol – increases the risk of bruising and swelling.
- Omega-3 & vitamin E – can thin the blood and increase bruising.
- Herbal supplements, especially Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and Ginseng – increases the risk of bruising.
24 to 48 hours before treatment:
- Caffeine – can increase sensitivity and bruising risk.
- Intense exercise – can increase blood flow and worsen swelling or bruising.
On the day of treatment:
- Arrive makeup-free if possible.
- Stay hydrated and eat a light meal to prevent feeling lightheaded.
- Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine.
If you are prone to bruising, Arnica supplements may help when taken a few days before treatment.
