02 Dec The Season Is Back: Treatment for Excessive Sweating of Hands & Underarms
Why Summer Is the Best Time to Manage Over-Sweating
As summer arrives in New Zealand, many people start to notice more than just warmer weather— there’s the damp T-shirt under the arms, the slippery steering wheel, and the awkward moment when you hesitate to shake someone’s hand.
Sweating is normal and healthy. But when it becomes excessive (hyperhidrosis)
or happens even in mild heat or stress, it can affect:
Confidence in social situations / Clothing choices / Work performance / Everyday comfort
The good news? You don’t have to put up with it every summer.
At K-Beauty Clinic, we offer a medical treatment using botulinum toxin (Xeomin®) that can safely reduce sweating in the underarms and hands, helping you stay drier, more comfortable, and more confident through out the hotter months.
Why Sweating Feels Worse in Summer
Many people find their sweating suddenly becomes more obvious as the weather warms up.
✓ Higher temperatures stimulate sweat glands.
✓ Humidity makes sweat evaporate more slowly.
✓ Outdoor activities increase both body temperature and sweating.
✓ Stress sweat becomes more noticeable in social or work settings.
✓ Light summer fabrics show sweat patches easily.
For some people, even a short walk, warm room,or a bit of nervousness is enough to trigger visible sweat. Especially in those with hyperhidrosis of the underarms or hands.
How Botulinum Toxin (Xeomin®) Helps with Hyperhidrosis
Botulinum toxin works by calming the overactive nerves that tell your sweat glands to “switch on.” When those signals are reduced, the treated sweat glands simply produce less sweat.
✓ Targets sweating in a specific area (e.g., underarms, palms).
✓ Works within the skin, not the muscle, when used for sweat control.
✓ Does not affect overall body temperature regulation.
✓ No downtime. Most people resume daily activities the same day.
Results build gradually over several days, with most people seeing a clear improvement within 1–2 weeks.
