Manage Sweat-Related Issues And Regain Your Confidence
Hyperhidrosis can be identified by excessive sweating, or sweating beyond normal thermoregulation. The condition can occur in various body parts which include:
Although it does not threaten one’s life, it can bring rise to a wide range of problems related to one’s physical, emotional, and social well-being.
Primary focal hyperhidrosis is a type of excessive sweating for which the exact cause is not fully understood. However, several factors are associated with primary focal hyperhidrosis:
GENETICS
OVERACTIVITY OF THE SWEAT GLANDS
EMOTIONAL STRESS
ALCOHOL & DRUG USE
HOT WEATHER
Excessive sweating that develops as a side effect of certain drugs or as an indication of an underlying medical issue is known as secondary hyperhidrosis. The following are typical reasons for secondary hyperhidrosis:
At Glowwis, we provide two types of treatment to address Hyperhidrosis. Each patient will be assessed by our MOH-certified doctor, Dr. Sam Pradeep to ensure the best approach and most suitable treatment according to their goals and conditions.
Neurotoxin (Botox) is an effective treatment to manage hyperhidrosis, particularly in areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. The mechanism of action involves the temporary blocking of nerve signals to the sweat glands, reducing their activity and subsequently decreasing sweat production. Our doctor will carefully administer the Botox injections in the targeted regions. Once injected, Botox temporarily paralyses the nerves that control sweat production. This effect is reversible and wears off over time as the nerve endings regenerate.
Gold Plated Micro Needle RF treatment encourages skin rejuvenation and tightening. Within the treated areas, heat is produced by the radiofrequency energy. The heat released during this process impacts your sweat glands by making them less active. Skin tightening may also be facilitated by the procedure’s effects on collagen production.

The treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the areas affected. Dr. Sam recommends these approaches to manage the issue:
Topical medications, such as glycopyrrolate, can be applied to the skin to reduce sweating. These may be available in the form of wipes or creams.
Sweating can be reduced by maintaining a healthy weight and making lifestyle adjustments like wearing breathable clothing and practicing stress management.
A consultation with a professional will help to determine the causes and best approaches to treat Hyperhidrosis.
With the aim to make Glowwis the most reliable aesthetic brand in Singapore, Dr. Sam Pradeep, the Medical Director of Glowwis Aesthetic & Medical Clinic curates a wide range of effective treatments to address various concerns and issues.
Excessive sweating can lead to embarrassment and self-consciousness. Successfully managing hyperhidrosis can boost confidence and self-esteem, allowing individuals to engage more comfortably in social and professional situations.
Hyperhidrosis treatment can help to address excessive sweating which often brings challenges to one’s everyday activities, work, and social interaction.
There are various treatment options available, allowing individuals to choose an approach that aligns with their preferences, lifestyle, and severity of hyperhidrosis.
Persistent sweating can lead to skin irritation, maceration, and discomfort. Treatment can help reduce these physical discomforts and improve overall skin health.

DXXNDRX2024-05-15I did HIFU 3 in one treatment (HIFU + MFU + RF). There was a Dr. Consultation session before the treatment, and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sam as he was listening to all my concerns attentively and educated me about the HIFU treatment in detail. There was numbing cream applied before the treatment and the pain during the treatment was bearable to me. There was an immediate lifting on my face after the HIFU 3 in one treatment and I am happy with my experience at Glowwis. Finally, I would also like to mention the staff who were very helpful and understanding.
june sweetoo2024-05-08I have visited this clinic at Capitol Mall in City Hall for their HIFU 3 in one treatment. I would rate the service of Dr. Sam and the staff high, because they all were helpful and taken good care of me during the time I was at Glowwis. I realised that Dr. Sam is a very knowledgeable practitioner and I learnt how he generates noticeable results by customised techniques in placing HIFU shots on to different areas of the face and neck. The pain was tolerable during the procedure and MFU + RF had a zero-pain level. The staff applied numbing cream and waited for some time before the procedure. There was mild redness after the procedure and was back to normal by the time I woke up the next morning. A mild soreness lasted for about a day also. Highly Recommend Dr. Sam for HIFU treatment.
Jennifer Aw2024-04-24Was searching for aesthetic treatment for my freckles and found Dr Sam whose super skillful and detailed! it's my first time trying Curas laser and my second time trying Pico laser. The whole process from the detail skin analysis and the recommendation of the treatment was a breeze! Dr Sam assured me that my condition has no downtime which was lucky for me! The pain is nil to minimal for these treatments and I feel safe under Dr Sam's care. Love that there's zero hard sell which make the experience so much better. Would like to praise Kristabelle cos she's super friendly and approachable through my experience at Glowwis. Would definitely visit them again! Looking forward to glowy skin soon!!
Jennifer Ghiam2024-04-12Dr Sam is a very friendly and honest doctor. He shared detailed of my skin problems patiently and offered solutions that suit my budget. I also did the pick and curos laser that helps pigmentation and tighten skin. Totally painless under his hands. Highly recommended.
Joeis Tan2024-04-12This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding. After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
Celeste Chua2024-04-09Had a good consultation and treatment experience with Dr.Sam. He catered the treatment according to my skin concerns and conditions including pico laser, q-switch and co2 laser. Throughout the treatment, Dr.Sam made sure that i’m doing good and comfortable with the treatment
Esther Hillary2024-04-09It's my first laser treatment and Dr. Sam did not hard sell. He is very professional and caring. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. Did pico laser, curas and co2 and the treatments are not painful. Will visit again! ?
Kailin Choo2024-04-08Love my experience here at Glowwis! Meeting Dr Sam and the clinic staffs for the first time and I felt super welcomed and comfortable. They are all very detailed and patient especially when I have alot of questions about my skin. I did a combi of Pico, Curas and CO2 lasers and there's no pain or discomfort at all. Another plus point is there's no hard selling and they are transparent with the pricings too! Can't wait for my freckles scabs to drop off and continue my treatment here! ? Update: Trust Dr Sam and the team so much and decided to do HIFU treatment with them! Cant wait to see the full results in 2~3 months. I am sure i will have a smaller and sharper face!
Cherrlyn Lim2024-04-08Very patient and professional Dr Sam did Pico and Q-Switch laser. The pain was bearable, no hard-selling and clinic staff were friendly too! Look forward to my next treatment.
Using prescription antiperspirants on affected areas helps to reduce excessive sweating as these products normally contain aluminum chloride to control sweat.

To regulate the body temperature, it is best to stay in a cooler environment with fans and air conditioning and avoid going out in hot and humid weather.
Some individuals find that avoiding or limiting the consumption of spicy foods and caffeine can help reduce excessive sweating. These substances can act as triggers for some people.

Our area of expertise lies in non-invasive or minimally invasive aesthetic procedures that cater to both men and women, designed to enhance the confidence of every patient through an affordable selection of services.
A qualified healthcare provider can identify hyperhidrosis by reviewing the patient’s medical history, performing a physical examination, and, in certain situations, running further tests such as the thermoregulatory sweat test or the starch-iodine test.
While hyperhidrosis itself is not life-threatening, it can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. It may lead to social and emotional challenges, and in some cases, it can contribute to skin issues.
While hyperhidrosis treatments can significantly reduce sweating, complete elimination of sweating is generally not the goal. The aim is to manage and normalise sweating to a more comfortable level.
The effectiveness and duration of hyperhidrosis treatments vary. While some treatments provide long-lasting results, others, such as Botox injections, may require periodic retreatment.
