HYPERHIDROSIS
(HI-PUR-HI-DROE-SIS)
WHAT IS HYPERHIDROSIS?
This condition can disrupt a person’s daily activities and cause social anxiety and embarrassment. However, a Hyperhidrosis treatment is an option to help assist with any undesirable symptoms related to this condition.
The most common form of Hyperhidrosis is “Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis.”
Hyperhidrosis signals sweat glands to activate, with no physical activity trigger or an increase in temperature.
This condition commonly affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and occasionally the face.
HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT
It generally begins with prescription-strength antiperspirants and alternative medication or therapy will be required if unsuccessful.
BOTOX INJECTIONS
The injections temporarily block the chemical in the body that stimulates the sweat glands.
The reduced sweating can last four to six months or longer depending on the patient. When excessive sweating returns, re-treatment is an option for the patient.
