What are the benefits of Hyperhidrosis treatments?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for thermoregulation. It can affect various parts of the body, including the palms, feet, underarms, and face. This condition can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.

Hyperhidrosis is generally categorised into two types:

1. Primary (Idiopathic) Hyperhidrosis: This type has no clear medical cause and often runs in families. It typically begins in childhood or adolescence and affects specific areas such as the hands, feet, underarms, and face.
2. Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This type is usually due to an underlying medical condition or as a side effect of medication. Conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, menopause, and infections can lead to excessive sweating.

Hyperhidrosis Treatments

Hyperhidrosis Treatment utilises injections in order to block the nerve signals which cause excessive sweating without major side effects. This stops the sweat glands from working as hard as they did before the treatment.
