Hyperhydrosis and Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating or hyperhydrosis is an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition which affects both men and women.
Due to over-activity of the sweat glands, the body produces far more excessive sweat, far more than is needed to cool the body.
It most often affects the underarms but also the face, chest, back, hands and feet.
The cause of hyperhydrosis can be genetic or it can be a response to nerves or stress. Excessive sweating can be aggravated by being overweight. Whatever the origin, it can be desperately embarrassing, particularly when you are in a social or business situation.
Fortunately, treatment is simple, involving a few injections of Botox into the affected area using ultra-fine needles. This blocks the action of the nerves which activate the sweat glands, reducing sweating to an acceptable level (some sweating is necessary for its cooling effect). There is usually no pain and no after effects.
Afterwards, you will be able to face life with more confidence, free of fear of embarrassment.
The effects of the treatment last for several months. In addition, because the problem is often self-propagating, treatment can break a vicious cycle and cure hyperhydrosis permanently.
