excessive sweating.
what is excessive sweating
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what’s needed to regulate body temperature. It most commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet, and face, and can occur even when you’re not overheated or exercising. While perspiration is a normal and necessary function, excessive sweating can be uncomfortable, impact clothing choices, and affect confidence in daily interactions.
This condition results from overactive sweat glands, often triggered by stress, temperature changes, or genetics. Fortunately, it can be effectively managed with treatments that temporarily block the signals that activate sweat production — offering lasting comfort and relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What causes hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis occurs when the nerves that control sweat glands become overactive, producing more sweat than the body needs for cooling. This response can be influenced by genetics, hormones, or stress, but sometimes there’s no identifiable cause.
2. Which areas can be treated for excessive sweating?
The most common treatment areas include the underarms, palms and soles of the feet. These zones contain a high concentration of sweat glands and respond particularly well to targeted therapy.
3. How long do results last?
Results typically last between 6 to 8 months, depending on the treatment area and individual response. Regular maintenance sessions can keep sweating under control long-term, allowing you to feel confident and comfortable year-round.
