What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition associated with excessive sweating that can occur even when the body is at rest or not overheated. It commonly affects areas such as the underarms, palms, feet, or face and is typically linked to overactive sweat glands.
For some individuals, this level of perspiration can feel disruptive in everyday settings. Treatments are available that can help reduce excessive sweating by gently calming the activity of the affected glands. During a consultation, our team can assess your concerns and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate.
How The Treatment Works
Treatment begins with a consultation to better understand your experience with excessive sweating and to determine whether hyperhidrosis may be contributing to it. From there, appropriate options can be discussed.
In many cases, wrinkle relaxer injections are used to temporarily calm the activity of the sweat glands in the affected area. By limiting the signals that trigger perspiration, the treatment can help reduce excessive sweating.
The procedure itself is typically brief, often completed in about 30 minutes, and is performed comfortably in our clinic.
Frequency of treatment: every 6 months
After Your Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Results can vary depending on the treatment approach used and the area being addressed. As the treatment begins to take effect, many individuals notice a gradual reduction in excessive sweating as the activity of the sweat glands becomes more regulated.
When wrinkle relaxers such as BOTOX® are used, the effect develops gradually over several days as the nerve signals that stimulate perspiration are temporarily softened. Mild tenderness, slight swelling, or minor irritation near the treatment area may occur shortly after treatment and typically resolve within a few days.
During your visit, our team will review any appropriate aftercare guidance and discuss whether follow-up treatments may be recommended to help maintain results over time.

Starr MedSpa Reviews
An amazing, amazing med spa! They are so welcoming, accommodating, honest and overall provide an exceptional experience no matter what type of service you are receiving—tox, filler, slim shots, peels, and lasers. I 100% trust Tenley and the team she has built around her! The slim shots work just have to trust the process and Tenley and her team are so open to answering questions quickly if I ever had any!
So thankful for Starr Medspa in helping me reach my health and wellness goals! So helpful in getting off stubborn stomach weight, or all overall toning up. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get the help they need for their aesthetic goals.
The GLP-1 shot has been a game changer for me. I am 4 yrs into my perimenopause and my weight gain was bad. Luckily I have healthy eating and gym habits but my body decided those are no longer “good enough”. After a lot of research on glp-1s I decided to give it a try with Starr MedSpa (Studio City). The team is very informative, kind and SO GENTLE with the shots. When I had minor side effects they adjusted my dose and now I’m back on track. I have lost 5 lbs in 1 month (this is a normal- healthy way to lose weight) and I feel really great on this medication!
I love coming to Starr MedSpa! It is incredibly beautiful and such a relaxing place. I've been going to nurse Alii to get my slim shot for the past couple months and omggg the results have been amazing!!! I've lost 15lbs within 3 months. I've had no side effects, everything has been great! Nurse Alii has been wonderful and I always feel comfortable in her care.
I have now done the orange peel twice and by far my favorite treatment of all time! I have very stubborn hyperpigmentation and this is the best treatment I have found. I have done lasers, peels, you name it but nothing gives me the radiant glow and clear skin. It is my new once to twice a year treatment.

Who This Treatment Is For
Hyperhidrosis treatment may be considered for individuals who experience persistent sweating that extends beyond normal temperature regulation. It is often explored when topical antiperspirants or other at-home approaches have provided limited improvement.
During a consultation, factors such as the areas affected, the pattern of perspiration, and relevant medical history are reviewed to determine whether treatment may be appropriate.
Hyperhidrosis Treatment FAQ
Do I have hyperhidrosis, or do I just sweat a lot?
Hyperhidrosis is different from normal sweating, with signs that may include:
- Unpleasant body smell
- Sweat rings on clothing
- Perspiration that is not a result of physical exertion or being warm
- Excess sweating in your armpits and down your backside
- Perspiration that runs from the feet or palms
- Tenderness and redness in affected spots
- Needing to change clothing as a result of profuse sweating
Are hyperhidrosis treatments safe?
The staff at Starr MedSpa is trained to offer dependable solutions for hyperhidrosis that produce safe and life-changing outcomes. Tenley will perform an assessment and communicate with you before treatment to determine which treatments would best suit you and which ones work best for your unique needs.
Is there a cure for hyperhidrosis?
Currently, there is no permanent cure for hyperhidrosis. In some cases, the condition may improve on its own, but this does not happen for everyone. Fortunately, patients in Westlake Village, CA have access to several treatment options to help manage hyperhidrosis and reduce excessive sweating, leading to improvements in both their social and physical well-being.
Finding Greater Ease
Living with persistent sweating can feel quietly disruptive, particularly when it begins to shape small decisions throughout the day. Thoughtful treatment can offer a way to regain a sense of ease — allowing daily life to move forward without the constant awareness of perspiration.
If you’re considering whether treatment may be right for you, a complimentary consultation can help clarify the options available and what approach may feel most appropriate.
