Excessive Underarm Sweating
From £350
Concerned about excessive underarm sweating?
Excessive sweating from the underarm area can be frustrating, particularly when it affects clothing choices, confidence or everyday comfort.
At Sculpted Rose Aesthetics & Laser, we offer a consultation-led service for suitable adults concerned about excessive underarm sweating.
The first step is an assessment to discuss your concerns, medical history and whether the treatment available through our clinic is appropriate for you.
As this treatment involves a prescription-only medicine, a full face-to-face consultation with our nurse prescriber is required before treatment can take place.
Who may want to discuss this treatment?
You may wish to arrange a consultation if you experience:
- Noticeably heavy sweating from the underarms
- Sweating that regularly marks clothing
- Underarm sweating that feels disproportionate to temperature or activity
- Difficulty managing sweating with normal antiperspirants
- Self-consciousness surrounding visible sweat marks
- A desire to explore professional treatment options
Excessive sweating can sometimes have an underlying medical cause.
If your sweating is new, has changed suddenly, occurs heavily at night or is accompanied by other unexplained symptoms, medical assessment with your GP may be more appropriate before considering cosmetic treatment.
IMPORTANT: Prescription Appointment Required
This treatment uses a prescription-only medicine.
Before treatment can take place, you must attend a full face-to-face consultation with our nurse prescriber.
During this appointment, your medical history, medication and treatment suitability will be assessed before a prescription can be considered.
We hold regular prescribing clinics at Sculpted Rose and can let you know the next available dates.
What happens at my appointment?
Once the required prescribing process has been completed and treatment has been approved, the underarm area will be assessed and prepared.
Treatment is performed across carefully selected points within the underarm area.
The appointment itself is relatively straightforward, although the overall visit includes preparation, treatment and aftercare guidance.
When might I notice a difference?
The effect is not immediate.
A change may begin to become noticeable over the days following treatment, with the response continuing to develop afterwards.
Individual response varies.
How long does the effect last?
The duration varies between clients.
Over time the effect gradually reduces and normal sweating activity returns.
If you are happy with your response, further treatment can be discussed when appropriate rather than automatically repeated at a fixed interval.
Is there any downtime?
Most clients can return to normal daily activities following the appointment.
Temporary effects may include:
- Small raised bumps
- Redness
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Mild sensitivity through the underarms
These usually settle.
Aftercare following treatment
Following your appointment:
- Keep the underarm area clean
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treatment area
- Avoid strenuous exercise for approximately 24 hours
- Avoid excessive heat initially
- Avoid saunas and steam rooms for the period advised
- Avoid applying heavily fragranced products to irritated skin
- Avoid shaving until any immediate sensitivity has settled
- Avoid other treatments involving pressure or heat over the underarms until advised
- Follow the personalised aftercare provided at your appointment
- Contact the clinic if you experience anything unusual or concerning
When should I seek medical advice?
Please contact us if you experience an unexpected reaction following treatment.
Urgent medical assessment should be sought for serious symptoms such as:
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing
- Difficulty speaking
- Significant generalised muscle weakness
- Severe or rapidly developing allergic symptoms
These reactions are rare, but prescription medicines can have serious adverse effects and appropriate assessment is important.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does treatment for excessive underarm sweating cost?
Treatment at Sculpted Rose is £350.
A face-to-face prescribing assessment is required before treatment can take place.
Do I need a prescription appointment?
Yes.
The treatment available for suitable clients requires a prescription-only medicine, so you must first attend a full face-to-face assessment with our nurse prescriber.
We can arrange this for you.
Is this treatment for the underarms only?
Yes.
At Sculpted Rose, this service is specifically offered for suitable clients concerned about excessive sweating from the underarm area.
Does the treatment stop sweating completely?
Responses vary.
The intention is to significantly reduce activity in the treated area, but no particular level of reduction can be guaranteed.
Sweating is also a normal function of the body and treatment is limited to the selected underarm area.
How quickly will I notice a change?
The effect develops gradually rather than immediately.
Some clients begin to notice a difference within the first several days, with the response continuing to develop afterwards.
How long does it last?
This differs between clients.
The effect is temporary and normal activity gradually returns over time.
Is the treatment painful?
There are multiple small treatment points across the underarm.
Most clients find the appointment manageable, although brief stinging or discomfort can occur.
Do I need to shave beforehand?
We will provide preparation instructions when your appointment is arranged.
Where shaving is required, avoid shaving immediately before your appointment if this causes irritation.
Can I use deodorant afterwards?
You may be advised to avoid applying fragranced deodorants or antiperspirants immediately if the skin is irritated.
Your practitioner will provide personalised guidance following treatment.
What if my excessive sweating has suddenly started?
Please speak to your GP if excessive sweating:
- Has appeared suddenly
- Has changed significantly
- Occurs heavily during the night
- Affects several areas of your body unexpectedly
- Is accompanied by other unexplained symptoms
It is important not to assume that all excessive sweating is purely cosmetic.
Who may not be suitable?
Treatment may not be appropriate if you:
- Are under 18
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have infection or broken skin within the underarms
- Are currently unwell
- Have certain neurological or muscular conditions
- Take medication that affects suitability
- Have unexplained sweating that requires medical investigation
- Have not completed the required face-to-face prescribing assessment
The final decision about suitability rests with the nurse prescriber.
