Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive, uncontrollable sweating that goes far beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. Affecting the underarms, hands, feet, and face, hyperhidrosis can be triggered by heat, physical activity, stress, or occur entirely spontaneously, significantly impacting daily comfort, clothing choices, professional confidence, and social interactions. While entirely treatable, hyperhidrosis is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated with many sufferers simply accepting it as an unavoidable part of their lives.
The most commonly affected areas are the underarms, hands, feet, and face with axillary hyperhidrosis (underarms) being the most prevalent and most frequently treated presentation
Heat or emotion can trigger episodes.
Botox injections are one of the most effective treatments available precisely injected into the affected area, they temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for sweat gland activation for a dramatic and lasting reduction in sweating
Stress and anxiety significantly worsen hyperhidrosis creating a deeply frustrating cycle where the fear of sweating triggers further sweating, compounding both the physical and psychological impact of the condition
