Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by abnormally increased sweating, in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature. Although primarily a physical burden, hyperhidrosis can deteriorate quality of life from a psychological, emotional, and social perspective. This excess of sweat happens even if the person is not engaging in tasks that require muscular effort, and it does not depend on the exposure to heat.Common places to sweat can include underarms, face, neck, back, groin, feet, and hands. It has been called by some 'the silent handicap'.

How We Treat Hyperhidrosis

Injections of botulinum toxin type A are used to block neural control of sweat glands. The effect can last from 3–9 months depending on the site of injections. The duration of the beneficial effect in primary palmar hyperhidrosis has been found to increase with repetition of the injections.

We will put a treatment plan together to reduce this by 90%.
