What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is characterized by abnormal sweating that exceeds the body’s natural needs for temperature regulation. It may affect localized areas (focal hyperhidrosis) or the entire body (generalized hyperhidrosis). Commonly affected areas include:

  • Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis).
  • Palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
  • Face and scalp.

Excessive sweating can interfere with daily life, making simple tasks challenging and affecting personal and professional relationships. While the condition isn’t harmful, it can cause significant emotional and social distress.

our core treatments

Injection

By carefully targeting  overactive sweat glands, our treatment works to interrupt the signals that trigger excessive sweating. This reduces sweat production in the treated areas, providing significant relief and g months of freedom.

what areas can you treat?

1. Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis):
The underarms are one of the most common areas affected by excessive sweating. Persistent underarm sweat can lead to visible stains on clothing, unpleasant odors, and discomfort, even in cool environments. Treating this area effectively reduces sweat production, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in social and professional settings. With targeted treatments, you can regain control over excessive sweating and enjoy lasting results.

2. Palms and Soles:
Hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles can significantly impact daily activities, from shaking hands to walking comfortably. Sweaty palms can interfere with professional tasks or personal interactions, while excessively sweaty feet can cause discomfort and increase the risk of fungal infections. Treatments for these areas help minimize sweating, improving grip, mobility, and overall quality of life.

3. Face and Scalp:
Excessive sweating on the face and scalp can be particularly distressing, as it’s highly visible and can be mistaken for nervousness or poor hygiene. Treating hyperhidrosis in these areas can help reduce excessive sweat and improve confidence in personal and professional interactions. With advanced techniques, we can target these sensitive areas safely and effectively, providing relief and helping you feel more at ease.

the ideal candidate

The ideal candidate for hyperhidrosis treatment is someone experiencing excessive sweating that interferes with their daily life, causing discomfort, embarrassment, or difficulty in social, professional, or personal activities. Candidates may have excessive sweating in specific areas, such as the underarms, palms, soles, or face, and have not achieved sufficient relief with over-the-counter antiperspirants or lifestyle adjustments.

Individuals seeking treatment should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Hyperhidrosis treatment is suitable for people of all ages and genders who are looking for safe and effective ways to regain control over their sweating and improve their quality of life

risks & side effects

Hyperhidrosis treatments are generally safe and effective. However, like any medical procedure, they may come with some risks and side effects, depending on the treatment method.

Common Side Effects:

  • Temporary Discomfort: Mild pain, swelling, or redness at the treatment site, especially after injectable treatments.
  • Bruising: Minor bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.
  • Dryness: Some patients may experience overly dry skin in the treated areas, requiring additional moisturization.

Less Common Risks:

  • Temporary Weakness: In rare cases, patients may experience mild muscle weakness in the treated area, particularly with hand or palm treatments.
  • Compensatory Sweating: An increase in sweating in other areas of the body may occur, though this is usually mild and temporary.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rare reactions to medications or treatments, such as itching or rash.
