Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that goes far beyond normal—often soaking through clothing or interfering with daily tasks—but modern treatments can help patients regain comfort and confidence.

About Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. It most commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet, and face, and can significantly impact daily life and confidence.

How it Works

Procedure Details

Hyperhidrosis treatment targets overactive sweat glands to reduce excessive perspiration. Depending on the method—oral medication, or energy-based therapy—the treatment helps block or regulate sweat gland activity safely and effectively.

Risks / Benefits

The treatment is minimally invasive and well-tolerated, offering noticeable and lasting sweat reduction. Mild redness or temporary tenderness may occur but typically resolves quickly. Patients enjoy improved comfort, confidence, and daily ease.

Recovery and Outlook

Most individuals can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Results may appear within a few days and last several months, depending on the technique used. Maintenance sessions ensure continued relief and dryness.
