Discomfort is minimal. Because the injections are administered just below the surface of the skin using ultra-fine needles, most patients report only minor discomfort.
While excessive sweating does not typically pose a serious threat to physical health, it can be deeply distressing, uncomfortable, and embarrassing.
From severe underarm staining on clothing to constant worry in professional and social situations, the daily inconvenience of hyperhidrosis can take a significant toll on your confidence and quality of life.
At Shine Dental in Ripponden, we offer safe, non-surgical, and highly effective hyperhidrosis treatments—particularly focused on reducing excessive underarm sweating—helping you stay dry, comfortable, and confident every day.
Our hyperhidrosis treatment utilises micro-injections of botulinum toxin (the same safe, purified protein used in facial anti-wrinkle treatments) directly into the affected underarm area.
When injected into target areas, the treatment temporarily blocks the nerve signals responsible for activating your sweat glands. Without receiving signal triggers from the nervous system, the sweat glands dramatically reduce their production, leaving the treated area significantly drier.
Significant Sweat Reduction: Clinical studies show an average reduction in underarm sweating of 80% to 90% following treatment.
Boosted Daily Confidence: Wear your favourite clothes without the constant fear of embarrassing sweat patches or discolouration.
Quick & Targeted: Treatment takes less than 30 minutes in our clinical practice with minimal to no discomfort.
Safe & Non-Invasive: Highly targeted treatment that only affects the sweat glands in the localised treated area, allowing normal body cooling elsewhere.
Zero Downtime: Return to work and your daily routine immediately following your appointment.
Receiving treatment for excessive underarm sweating at Shine Dental is a simple, straightforward process carried out by trained healthcare professionals:
Initial Consultation: We evaluate your symptoms, discuss your medical history, and verify that hyperhidrosis treatment is suitable for your needs.
Treatment Procedure: The underarm area is thoroughly cleansed. Using an ultra-fine needle, tiny quantities of the solution are injected into a grid-like pattern across the underarm skin. Most patients experience only a mild pinching sensation.
Rapid Onset: You will begin to notice a significant reduction in sweat production within 2 to 7 days, with maximum dry results achieved after approximately two weeks.
The relief provided by hyperhidrosis injections is long-lasting, typically maintaining dryness for 6 to 9 months. As nerve endings gradually recover function over time, sweat production will slowly return.
To maintain continuous dryness and comfort, we recommend scheduling repeat treatments every 6 to 9 months.
To ensure the best possible results from your treatment:
Avoid Shaving: Refrain from shaving your underarms for 24 hours after treatment.
Avoid Deodorants: Avoid using harsh antiperspirants or scented deodorants for 12 to 24 hours following your procedure.
Pause Intense Heat: Avoid strenuous physical exercise, saunas, hot baths, or steam rooms for 48 hours.
Stop letting excessive sweating control your clothing choices and daily routine. Contact our friendly clinical team at Shine Dental in Ripponden to book your confidential consultation.

Yes, the underarms contain only a tiny fraction (around 1%) of the body’s total sweat glands. Blocking these localised glands does not affect your body’s overall ability to regulate temperature through sweating elsewhere.
Results typically last between 6 and 9 months. Regular top-up appointments ensure sustained protection from excessive sweating.
