Warmer weather brings its own set of skin and confidence concerns. Alongside the usual summer wish list of glowing, hydrated skin, many patients also find that rising temperatures bring on a less talked about problem: excessive sweating. At her clinics in South Woodford, Hatfield, and Bishop’s Stortford, Dr Anita Dhunna sees both concerns regularly, and treats them with the same careful, medically led approach.
Hyperhidrosis: When Summer Sweating Becomes a Problem
A little extra sweat in the heat is normal. Hyperhidrosis is different. It is a medical condition where the body produces far more sweat than is needed to regulate temperature, most commonly affecting the underarms, palms, or hairline. For many patients, it becomes a real source of embarrassment, particularly in summer when clothing offers less cover and social occasions increase.
Botox is a well-established treatment for hyperhidrosis. When injected into the affected area, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger the sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production for several months at a time. It is a quick, minimally invasive treatment with a strong track record, and for many patients it makes a noticeable difference to daily confidence, not just appearance.
Dr Dhunna will always assess the underlying cause during consultation, since excessive sweating can occasionally be linked to other health factors, before recommending whether Botox is the right route forward.
Skin Boosters: The Foundation of Healthy Summer Skin
Beyond sweating, summer tends to expose every dehydration line, dull patch, and texture issue that winter skincare quietly masked. This is where skin boosters come in. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume and structure, skin boosters work across the entire treated area to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality from within.
Juvederm Volite
Juvederm Volite is a hyaluronic acid injectable designed specifically to boost hydration and smoothness in the skin, rather than add shape or volume. It is often used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, areas that show sun and dehydration damage quickly in summer. Results build gradually, leaving skin looking plumper and more radiant without any obvious sign of treatment.
Profhilo
Profhilo has become one of the most requested skin quality treatments at Dr Dhunna’s clinics. It uses a unique, slow-release formulation of hyaluronic acid that spreads across the treated area to deliver intense hydration while stimulating the skin’s own collagen and elastin production. The result is skin that looks and feels genuinely healthier, not just temporarily plumped. Most patients have a short course of two treatments a few weeks apart, with results developing over the following weeks.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides represent one of the more advanced developments in skin quality treatment. Derived to support the skin’s natural repair processes, they work by stimulating fibroblast activity, the cells responsible for producing collagen, while improving hydration from within. Many patients notice an improvement in skin texture, tone, and resilience over a course of treatment, making it a popular choice for anyone wanting their skin to look genuinely healthier under the summer sun, not just temporarily brighter.
Building a Summer Skin Plan
Every patient’s skin, and every patient’s sweating concerns, are different, which is why Dr Dhunna always starts with a full consultation rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation. Some patients need a single treatment, others benefit from combining skin boosters over a course of appointments, and some are managing hyperhidrosis alongside their aesthetic goals entirely separately.
Whether you are based near South Woodford, Hatfield, or Bishop’s Stortford, a summer skin consultation with Dr Anita Dhunna will give you a clear, honest plan built around your skin, your concerns, and what will genuinely make a difference before the season is in full swing.
