Hyperhidrosis is a relatively common condition, yet there are a whole host of misconceptions around it, causing discomfort and embarrassment for the sufferer.

Sweating in itself is an entirely natural and normal phenomenon. When the body is hot – during exercise, warm weather or stress – the skin produces sweat which cools the body as it evaporates.

However, excessive sweating is when this is above average levels.

The physical consequences of hyperhidrosis can be quite noticeable, including:

- Damp patches in the underarm area

- Regularly changing t-shirts

- Staining of light coloured clothes

- Unable to wear light coloured tops - Body odour

Excessive sweating can be due to a variety of reasons and the most common reason is the genetic predisposition. Apart from that secondary causes like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

Hyperhidrosis can be classified into two types mainly:

- Primary hyperhidrosis: Most of people have a genetic inclination for hyperhidrosis and include 30-50% of the affected population*. In the majority of these patients, the cause is unknown.

- Secondary hyperhidrosis: The condition may also arise due to an underlying health condition. The most common diseases causing excessive sweating include hyperthyroidism, obesity, adrenal gland disorders, and Parkinson’s disease.

Please be aware that we always recommend to have consultation first with our medically qualified practitioner.

When treating Armpit hyperhidrosis, we carefully and precisely locate the sweat glands located in the Axilla (armpit) and administer Botox in a series of small doses which reduces / prevents armpit sweat.

This is a quick and straightforward method, which is highly effective and can be life changing for those who are troubled by excessive sweating.
