Excessive Sweating

What is excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?

People with excessive sweating sweat profusely, and some, in severe cases, will sweat almost constantly. Normal people tend to sweat under certain conditions for example when ill with a fever or those exposed to very warm environments.

People with Hyperhidrosis - the medical term for excessive sweating, tend to sweat all the time even without these trigger circumstances. Excessive sweating may affect the entire surface of the skin, but often it is limited to the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, armpits, or genital area.

Excessive Sweating is embarrassing, and can damage your self confidence, it stains clothes, ruins romance, and complicates business and social interactions. Severe cases can have serious practical consequences as well, making it hard for people who suffer from it to do simple tasks like holding a pen, grip a car steering wheel, or shake hands.

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can affect many different areas of the body. Most commonly, hyperhidrosis appears on the palms/hands. In this case it is known as Palmar hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis can also be a problem on the soles of the feet (Plantar hyperhidrosis) the armpits (axillae), the face, the head, the groin and the back.

Hyperhidrosis presents an embarrassing problem to those afflicted with it. Shaking hands becomes uncomfortable, making business and day-to-day life a problem. Patients report that they are even embarrassed to hold the hands of those they love.

Hyperhidrosis is not a temporary condition. Many people who suffer from it have suffered for many years, usually from adolescence. Hot or cold, the sweating is constant.

Help is at hand to stop excessive sweating problems ruining your life.

Until recently, apart from risky surgery cutting nerves, most excessive sweating treatments were often ineffective. For people identified as suffering from Hyperhidrosis, Botox injections can help give new hope for a normal life where their previous and more complicated therapies have failed.
 

Botox injections for excessive sweating work by blocking the release of a chemical messenger called  acetylcholine. When Botox blocks acetylcholine the sweat glands reduce production of  sweat - the required result!
Botox is a life-changing treatment for those suffering from excessive sweating.

The United Kingdom approved Botox® Injections for excessive sweating problems in 2001.
