What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Sweating is normal. It's one of the ways your body regulates temperature. Hyperhidrosis is different. People with hyperhidrosis experience excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body needs for normal temperature regulation.
It may occur even when you aren't exercising, aren't overheated, or don't have an obvious reason to be sweating. For some people, excessive sweating is an inconvenience. For others, it can affect clothing choices, work, social situations, exercise, confidence, and everyday comfort.
If excessive sweating has become something you constantly think about or plan around, it's worth having a conversation about your options.
Where Can Excessive
Sweating Occur?
Excessive underarm sweating can soak through clothing regardless of temperature or activity level. Treatment can help temporarily reduce sweat production in the targeted area.
Where Can Excessive Sweating Occur?
Underarms
Excessive sweating of the feet can contribute to persistent dampness and discomfort inside socks and shoes. For appropriate patients, targeted neurotoxin treatment may help reduce excessive sweating in the soles of the feet.
Soles of the Feet
Excessively sweaty hands can affect everything from holding objects and using electronics to writing, working, and shaking someone's hand. Targeted treatment may help reduce sweat production in the palms.

How Does Hyperhidrosis
Treatment Work?
The Same Type of Medication. A Different Goal.

This Isn't About
Never Sweating Again
It's About Reducing Excessive Sweating.
Sweating serves an important purpose. The goal of hyperhidrosis treatment isn't to prevent your body from regulating its temperature or eliminate normal sweating throughout your body. Instead, treatment targets sweat glands within a specific problem area.
Your body can continue regulating temperature and producing sweat in untreated areas. The goal is simply to reduce the excessive sweating that's interfering with your everyday life.
Isabelle's Approach to
Hyperhidrosis
Treat the Concern, Not Just the Symptom.
Excessive sweating can be uncomfortable to talk about. It can also be frustrating when you've tried stronger antiperspirants, changed your clothes, adjusted your routine, or simply learned to live around the problem. Isabelle approaches hyperhidrosis the same way she approaches all of her care: by starting with you.
She'll ask about what you're experiencing, where the sweating occurs, how long it has been happening, how it affects your daily life, and relevant aspects of your medical history.
That conversation helps determine whether neurotoxin treatment may be appropriate or whether your symptoms should be evaluated further. No embarrassment. No judgment. Just a straightforward conversation about what's happening and what options may be available.
What to Expect From
Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Consultation + Assessment
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your symptoms. Isabelle will review the areas affected, your health history, medications, previous treatments, and other relevant factors before determining whether treatment is appropriate.
STEP 1
Identify the Treatment Area
The area of excessive sweating will be evaluated so treatment can be appropriately planned. The number and placement of injections depend on the area being treated and your individual needs.
What to Expect From Hyperhidrosis Treatment
STEP 2
Treatment
Small amounts of neurotoxin are injected at multiple points throughout the treatment area. Because areas such as the palms and soles can be more sensitive than the underarms, the treatment experience may differ depending on the location. Isabelle will discuss what you can expect before treatment begins.
STEP 3
Results Develop
The reduction in sweating develops after treatment rather than occurring immediately. As the neurotoxin begins blocking the signals responsible for activating the treated sweat glands, patients may notice a significant reduction in sweating in the targeted area. Results are temporary and may last for several months. Individual results and treatment duration vary.
STEP 4
What Could Less
Sweating Change
for You?
Hyperhidrosis treatment isn't simply about reducing moisture. For many people, excessive sweating influences everyday choices.
Successful treatment may mean worrying less about:
Sweat marks showing through clothing
Choosing certain colors or fabrics to hide perspiration
Bringing extra clothes with you
Raising your arms in public
Damp palms during handshakes
Holding papers, tools, or electronics
Sweaty feet inside shoes
Planning around situations that may make sweating noticeable
The treatment goal is simple: Help excessive sweating occupy less space in your day.

Is Hyperhidrosis
Treatment Right
for Me?
Neurotoxin treatment may be worth exploring if excessive sweating is persistent, bothersome, or interfering with your daily activities.
You may want to talk with Isabelle if you experience:
Excessive underarm sweating
Excessively sweaty palms
Excessive sweating of the feet
Sweating that occurs even when you aren't hot or exercising
Sweat that frequently soaks through clothing
Sweating that affects work, social activities, or confidence
Symptoms that haven't responded adequately to your current approach
Not all excessive sweating is primary hyperhidrosis. In some cases, increased sweating can be associated with medications, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or other underlying factors.
That's one reason an appropriate medical assessment matters. Isabelle can review your symptoms and health history and determine whether treatment is appropriate or whether additional evaluation may be needed.

Hyperhidrosis Frequently
Asked Questions
Hyperhidrosis Frequently Asked Questions
-
There isn't a single amount of sweat that defines every patient's experience.
One important question is whether sweating seems excessive for the situation and whether it regularly interferes with your comfort or daily activities.
If you're constantly planning around sweat, changing clothing because of it, or avoiding situations because of it, it's reasonable to discuss your symptoms with a medical provider. -
No.
Stress or anxiety can trigger sweating, but hyperhidrosis can occur even without those triggers.
Some patients experience excessive sweating during ordinary daily activities or even while resting.
Because increased sweating can have different causes, your individual symptoms should be evaluated rather than automatically attributed to anxiety. -
ItemNeurotoxin temporarily blocks the chemical signals that tell the targeted sweat glands to produce sweat.
By interrupting those signals in the treated area, sweat production can be significantly reduced. description -
No.
Treatment is targeted to specific areas.
Your body continues to sweat from untreated areas and retains its ability to regulate temperature. -
Skin Clique offers hyperhidrosis treatment for excessive sweating involving the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet.
Isabelle can determine whether your specific area of concern is appropriate for treatment. -
Treatment involves multiple small injections throughout the affected area.
Discomfort varies depending on the individual and treatment location.
The palms and soles can be particularly sensitive, so discuss any concerns about discomfort with Isabelle before treatment.
-
Results develop gradually following treatment rather than immediately.
Your individual response may vary, and Isabelle can discuss what to expect based on the area being treated. -
The effects are temporary but may last for several months.
Treatment duration varies from person to person, and repeat treatment may be appropriate once the effects begin to wear off. -
Many patients can return to normal activities relatively quickly, although recommendations can vary depending on the area treated.
Follow Isabelle's specific aftercare instructions. -
Neurotoxin treatment targets the sweat glands within the treated area rather than redirecting sweat to another part of the body.
Your untreated sweat glands continue to function normally. -
The medication may be the same type of neurotoxin used for aesthetic Tox, but the treatment goal, injection pattern, location, and dosing are different.
Cosmetic Tox targets specific muscles to reduce movement associated with expression lines.
Hyperhidrosis treatment targets the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands. -
Neurotoxin treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Tell Isabelle if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning a pregnancy, or if your health status has changed before treatment.
Hyperhidrosis vs. Regular Sweating
When Is It Worth Asking for Help?
When Is It Worth Asking
for Help?
Everyone sweats. Exercise, heat, stress, and certain situations can naturally increase perspiration.
Hyperhidrosis becomes different when sweating is excessive compared with what the body needs and begins interfering with daily life.
You don't need to wait until the problem feels “severe enough” to ask about it. If sweating is bothering you, that's enough reason to start the conversation.
What If Something Else
Is Causing My Sweating?
Excessive sweating can sometimes occur secondary to another medical issue or medication. If your sweating began suddenly, occurs primarily at night, affects your entire body, or is accompanied by other unexplained symptoms, additional medical evaluation may be appropriate. Hyperhidrosis treatment should begin with understanding what you're experiencing—not simply treating the sweat. Isabelle can help determine the appropriate next step based on your individual history and symptoms.
You Don't Have to Plan
Your Life Around Sweat
If excessive sweating has become part of how you choose clothes, approach work, interact socially, exercise, or move through everyday life, it's worth learning about your options. Start with a conversation.
Isabelle can help determine whether hyperhidrosis treatment may be appropriate for you and answer your questions about what to expect.
