Excess Sweating — for Women
When your sweating goes beyond what heat or effort explains.
What is the problem?
Sweat that soaks through clothing despite air conditioning, shows up at events and meetings, and no deodorant helps no matter how often you switch it.
The usual areas in women: the underarms, the palms, and sometimes the soles of the feet.
The problem is not hygiene — it is sweat glands working harder than they need to, and this is a medical condition with a treatment, not a home remedy.
How the treatment works, and when it starts and fades
The treatment is a fine local injection under the skin, performed personally by the consultant, that blocks the nerve signal triggering the sweat glands in the target area.
It does not stop sweating across the whole body — its effect is limited to the treated area alone.
The effect starts to appear gradually within days of the session and becomes clearest after about two weeks.
The effect is temporary and lasts a period that varies from person to person, then needs repeating — this is explained to you before the session, not after.
What we tell you before you pay
The material's name and quantity are written in your file after every session — ask about them at any clinic you visit.
We do not promise a fixed duration for everyone — it genuinely varies by person and area, and we say so plainly before you begin.
The result is not permanent. Anyone expecting a final solution from one session will be disappointed, while anyone who knows it is a treatment that gets repeated will be satisfied with the result.
When you need an assessment before injecting
- Sweating accompanied by unexplained weight loss, palpitations or unusual fatigue — this may point to an internal cause such as a thyroid issue that is examined first.
- Sweating that started or changed alongside menopause-related shifts or a new medication — assessed before any injection.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: the injection is not performed during either.
- Active inflammation or skin infection at the injection site — treated first.
What we do not offer — said before you ask
We do not inject excess sweating that has an undiagnosed medical cause without referring you for that work-up first.
We do not promise a fixed duration for the effect — it varies by person, and we say so from the start.
We do not perform this injection during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
In these cases we say so and guide you to the right step first, rather than rushing to inject.
Questions and answers
Questions women repeatedly ask about excess sweating treatment at Hokama Najd.
The effect begins to appear gradually within days of the session and becomes clearer over about two weeks.
It varies by person and by area, and we do not give one fixed number for everyone — we explain the realistic expectation at your assessment.
The sensation is a light, repeated sting, and local anaesthetic can be used if needed.
We do not perform this injection during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and alternatives are discussed with you at assessment.
Because some patterns of excess sweating have an internal cause, such as a thyroid issue or menopause-related changes, and these need a different treatment, not a local injection.
Yes. The injection is local and limited to the treated area, and does not stop normal sweating in the rest of your body.
Start with an assessment appointment — the area and a realistic expected duration for your case are determined there.
