Sweating is a normal part of how our body regulates temperature, but for people with hyperhidrosis, the sweating is far beyond what is needed. At Venus Medical in Dublin, we offer advanced hyperhidrosis treatments such as injectable nerve-blockers and MiraDry. Our aim is to provide long-lasting relief from excessive sweating that can affect your confidence, daily activities, and overall quality of life.
Whether you’re struggling with focal hyperhidrosis of the armpits or embarrassing sweating of the palms of the hands, we have effective solutions.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition defined by sweating excessively, either in specific areas like the underarms, palms, or feet (focal hyperhidrosis), or all over the body (generalised hyperhidrosis). In primary hyperhidrosis, the sweating typically begins in adolescence without a clear cause. In secondary hyperhidrosis, the sweating may be due to an underlying medical issue such as an overactive thyroid gland, low blood sugar, or certain medications.
This condition affects up to 5% of the population and is often underdiagnosed. Many people endure it in silence, unaware that safe and effective treatments are available.
The signs of hyperhidrosis include frequent and excessive sweating even in cool temperatures or while at rest. People may experience constant dampness in the underarms or palms, sweat that soaks through clothing, and skin irritation or odour due to prolonged moisture. Social withdrawal or anxiety is also common, as is discomfort during physical contact or while using electronic devices.
Hyperhidrosis causes vary depending on the type. Primary hyperhidrosis usually arises from overactivity in the sympathetic nervous system and has no identifiable underlying disease. It most commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet, and face.
Secondary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, can be due to metabolic or hormonal disorders, certain medications, neurological conditions, or systemic diseases. During a consultation, we will discuss your history and advise whether you need medical investigation or whether you can proceed to a sweat-reduction treatment straight away.
We are proud to offer the most effective options for primary hyperhidrosis of the underarms or hands.
For patients with axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis, MiraDry is a game-changing solution. It uses microwave energy to permanently eliminate sweat and odour glands. As the first and only clinic in Ireland offering MiraDry, Venus Medical provides unmatched expertise in this FDA-cleared treatment with immediate and long-term results. We have many years’ experience performing MiraDry.
Nerve-blocking injections are highly effective for treating underarms, palms, feet, and the face. By blocking nerve signals to the sweat glands, this treatment significantly reduces sweating for several months.
For mild or early-stage symptoms, high-strength antiperspirants containing aluminium chloride can be used. In some cases, oral anticholinergic medications may help reduce generalised sweating, although we do not prescribe these due to their side-effects, poor result in severe cases, and the availability of effective alternative treatments at our clinic.
For cases like palmar hyperhidrosis, iontophoresis may be used, applying a weak electric current through water to reduce sweat production. Where appropriate, we may advise on lifestyle changes, hydration, and avoiding triggers such as spicy food or alcohol. Due to the superiority of chemodenervation over iontophoresis for palmar hyperhidrosis, we do not perform iontophoresis at Venus Medical.
Hyperhidrosis isn’t just a physical issue. The psychological and social impact can be significant. Many patients report anxiety during personal and professional interactions, the need to change clothes multiple times a day, and frustration with ineffective over-the-counter solutions. Others find themselves avoiding physical activities and social settings due to embarrassment or discomfort.
By offering clinically backed hyperhidrosis treatments, we help patients regain their confidence and comfort in everyday life.
I was quite nervous to have the Miradry procedure done but Cliodhna put me at ease straight away. Very professional but also very personable. The procedure itself was straightforward and the time seemed to pass very quickly

I had a fantastic experience at Venus Medical! I’ve been self conscious about my underarm sweating for years and didnt feel there was a solution. I’ve seen a dramatic reduction in sweat after miraDry and am looking forward to seeing the results after my second appointment yesterday! Cliodhna was brilliant, very professional and reassuring. My only hope is that miraDry will be become more well known in Ireland so others will know there is an effective and long lasting solution. Thank you!

Absolutely. We have used MiraDry for several years at Venus Medical with excellent results and many happy patients. Two treatments are recommended, spaced apart by three months, for significant axillary hyperhidrosis.
MiraDry is only suitable for the underarms. We use a purified toxin for chemical impulse blocking injections for sweating in the palms of the hands.
The underarm area will always sweat less after MiraDry. After your second treatment at three months it will be drier again. Some amount of minimal sweating is normal and physiological. Studies for MiraDry show approximately 82% reduction after two procedures. This is a dramatic reduction that is life-changing for many people who suffer with hyperhidrosis.
Yes. If you also have malodour, termed bromhidrosis, this will also improve because MirAdry destroys both eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. Apocrine sweat glands contribute to body odour.
If you’re dealing with constant underarm sweating or sweaty hands, Venus Medical in Dublin is here to help. Our tailored approach to hyperhidrosis treatment is based on clinical evidence, advanced technology, and your personal goals.

Primary hyperhidrosis has no clear cause but is linked to overactive nerves. Secondary hyperhidrosis can stem from hormonal, neurological, or metabolic issues.
While not always curable, it can be managed very effectively. Treatments like MiraDry can permanently eliminate sweat glands in the underarms.
Sweating that interferes with daily life, such as soaked clothing or clammy hands, is a key symptom. It often occurs without heat, exertion, or emotional stress. Primary axillary hyperhidrosis is usually symmetric, doesn’t occur as much at night while resting, and sometimes runs in families.
Some patients explore herbal or acupuncture treatments, but evidence is limited. We focus on medically validated approaches with measurable outcomes.
