FDA-cleared specifically for hyperhidrosis. Injected into the affected areas, including the hands and feet, with results generally lasting 6 to 12 months.
Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, affects an estimated 2 to 3% of the population. We all need to sweat to regulate body temperature, but hyperhidrosis means sweating well beyond what daily activity calls for, sometimes soaking through a t-shirt, a regular shirt, and even a sweatshirt without any significant physical exertion at all.
How It Happens
Understanding
Excessive Sweating
Hyperhidrosis often brings real social anxiety and embarrassment along with it. Sweating through clothing at work or in social settings can feel disconcerting, and many patients tell us they avoid situations where that might happen. Students and professionals sometimes dread presentations specifically because of the risk of visibly sweating through their clothes. The condition typically affects both sides of the body symmetrically, commonly the underarms, face, feet, and hands, and can be severe enough in the hands that everyday tasks like writing with a pen or turning a doorknob become difficult. It can also stain clothing.
Excessive Sweating Prevention
You can’t prevent hyperhidrosis, but a few habits can help you manage it. Moisture-wicking fabrics and breathable shoes cut down on visible sweat through clothing. Consuming less caffeine, alcohol, and spicy food can calm flare-ups, since all three are common triggers, and managing your stress levels helps too. None of this treats the underlying cause, which is why most patients pair these habits with in-office treatment.
