Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a challenging condition that can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, causing embarrassment and discomfort in social and professional settings. We understand the challenges posed by hyperhidrosis and offer effective treatments to help you regain confidence and comfort in your daily life. Let’s delve into the causes of hyperhidrosis, explore the available treatment options at Define Clinic, and discover how our expert team can assist you in managing this condition effectively.
What Is Excessive Sweating?
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is a condition characterised by uncontrollable sweating that exceeds the body’s normal requirements for temperature regulation.
While sweating is a natural bodily function designed to cool the body down, individuals with hyperhidrosis experience sweating far beyond what is necessary for thermoregulation. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the underarms, palms, feet and face.
Understanding Excessive Sweating
The exact cause of hyperhidrosis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve overactivity of the sweat glands. Certain triggers, such as anxiety, stress, heat, spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol, can exacerbate sweating episodes, making management crucial for individuals with hyperhidrosis.

FAQs
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for thermoregulation.
What results can I expect?
Many patients experience a significant reduction in sweat, with an average reduction of 86% reported in a recent clinical study. You should notice a reduction in sweat immediately after treatment, although individual results may vary.
Do I need my underarm sweat glands?
While your body contains millions of sweat glands, only a small percentage are located in the underarms (around 2%). Eliminating this small percentage does not impact the body's natural ability to regulate temperature and cool itself.
Is the miraDry procedure suitable for me?
If you struggle with embarrassing underarm sweat, stained clothing, or if frequent antiperspirant use disrupts your daily life, you may be a suitable candidate for the miraDry procedure.
How much does treatment cost?
Our treatments start at £1895.

I had the MiraDry treatment last month after a long-standing hyperhidrosis condition and the whole experience was fantastic from start to end. Dr Benji Dhillon was very personable in the video consultation and made me feel at ease and confident that this was the right step to take. The treatment itself was straightforward, carried out by Dr Dhillon and Ashleigh Sullivan, who were both great company during the rather lengthy procedure. It’s been a month now since my treatment and the results have been, without exaggeration, perfect, so I’m delighted and very grateful to the Define Clinic team for their quality, professional service. Thank you!

I had a Miradry treatment with Dr Dhillon about 6 weeks ago now. The idea of not needing to bother with deodorant, which irritates my skin, and not having to think about the colour or material I wear to work is great. Dr Dhillon and his aesthetician explained the whole procedure to me, and although it’s a pretty weird experience, made me feel very comfortable, informed and assured throughout. It has worked brilliantly, and I’m facing the summer with confidence! Benji has a fantastic “bedside manner” and has the patience of a saint in terms of explaining procedures to his patients. I have already recommended several friends, and would not hesitate to do so in the future. Define Clinic is a beautiful addition to Beaconsfield, and I wish them well in their future.
