Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition which causes to profuse perspiration (sweating) which exceeds the amount required to regulate the body’s temperature.

Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterised by abnormally high levels of perspiration beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. It can significantly impact one’s quality of life, causing discomfort, embarrassment, and even social anxiety.

Excessive sweating can be distressing, but there are effective treatment options available. Consult a medical professional to determine the underlying cause and explore suitable treatment plans, including Botox injections. Additionally, incorporating good skincare practices into your routine can help manage the condition and improve your overall comfort. Remember, you don’t have to suffer in silence – take control of excessive sweating and regain your confidence.

Types of Excessive Sweating

There are two primary types of hyperhidrosis: primary focal hyperhidrosis, which affects specific areas such as underarms, hands, feet, and face, and secondary generalised hyperhidrosis, which is caused by an underlying medical condition or medication.

Treatment Procedures

Several treatment options are available to manage excessive sweating effectively. One popular and highly effective method is Botox injections. Botox, typically used for cosmetic purposes, can also be used to treat hyperhidrosis by blocking the chemical signals that stimulate sweat glands. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the affected areas, such as underarms or palms, providing long-lasting relief from excessive sweating. It is a safe and minimally invasive treatment option with minimal downtime.

Skincare for Excessive Sweating

While skincare cannot directly stop excessive sweating, it can help manage its effects and maintain skin health. Here are some skincare tips for individuals dealing with excessive sweating:

  • Keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent bacterial or fungal infections.
  • Choose breathable fabrics like cotton to allow better air circulation.
  • Use antiperspirants or deodorants specifically formulated for excessive sweating to control odor and moisture.
  • Consider using talcum powder or sweat-absorbing products to minimise discomfort and chafing.
  • Stay hydrated to regulate body temperature and support overall skin health.
