Understanding Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This condition can affect specific areas, such as the hands, feet, underarms, and face. It can also be more generalized and affect the entire body.
Hyperhidrosis can significantly impact daily life and cause discomfort, embarrassment, and social anxiety. While the exact cause of hyperhidrosis is not always known, it is often linked to overactive sweat glands. The condition can be inherited (primary focal hyperhidrosis) or caused by underlying medical conditions or medications (secondary generalized hyperhidrosis). Effective management of hyperhidrosis is essential for improving the quality of life for those affected.

Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis symptoms can vary in severity and location, but the condition is generally characterized by sweating that is disproportionate to the body's needs. Identifying these symptoms is essential for seeking appropriate treatment.
Excessive Sweating in Specific Areas
Hyperhidrosis often affects localized areas, such as the palms, soles, underarms, or face. Sweating can be so severe that it soaks through clothing or drips from the skin.
Frequent Sweating Episodes
Individuals with hyperhidrosis may experience frequent episodes of excessive sweating, even when they are not physically active or in warm environments.
Social and Emotional Impact
The condition can cause significant social and emotional distress, as individuals may avoid certain activities or social situations due to fear of visible sweating and embarrassment.
Skin Irritation and Infections
Excessive sweating can lead to skin irritation, rashes, and an increased risk of fungal and bacterial infections in areas where sweat accumulates.
Types of Hyperhidrosis
Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis
Secondary Generalized Hyperhidrosis
Treatment Options for Hyperhidrosis
We offer several treatment options to manage hyperhidrosis effectively to address each patient's needs.
Topical Treatments
Prescription-strength antiperspirants are often the first line of treatment for hyperhidrosis. These topical solutions help to block sweat glands and reduce sweating in targeted areas.
Oral Medications
Oral medications such as anticholinergics, can be prescribed to reduce overall sweating by inhibiting the chemical signals that trigger sweat production. These are often used when topical treatments are insufficient.
Botox Injections
Botox injections are a highly effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. The injections temporarily block the nerves that stimulate sweating, providing relief for several months.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
In severe cases, minimally invasive procedures may be considered. These procedures can include sweat gland removal or sympathectomy (cutting nerves that cause excessive sweating) for long-term relief.
