Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
People who suffer from excessive sweating go through their day with worry and embarrassment. They worry that others will see the sweat stains on their clothes, so they change clothing several times a day. They tend to skip social situations to avoid hugging and waving.
Sweating is normal for it’s the body’s way to control temperature. However, too much sweating is not normal and usually indicates a medical condition called Hyperhidrosis. Excessive sweating is caused by a hyper-function of the sweat glands.
If you find that antiperspirants and powders are not controlling your perspiration, then we highly recommend medical treatment or Botox injections. Botox is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is inadequately managed with topical agents.
Botox helps control Hyperhidrosis by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don’t receive these signals, the severe sweating stops. Our Dermatologists can provide a medical assessment and recommend Botox treatment if warranted.
