What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for the body’s thermoregulation. While sweating is a natural process that helps regulate body temperature, individuals with hyperhidrosis experience sweating that exceeds the body’s normal needs. This can occur in specific areas of the body, such as the palms, feet, underarms, or face, or it can be generalised, affecting multiple areas simultaneously.

The Impact of Hyperhidrosis

Living with hyperhidrosis can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. Excessive sweating can lead to discomfort, skin irritation, and a heightened risk of developing infections. Additionally, the social and emotional toll of hyperhidrosis should not be underestimated. Many individuals with hyperhidrosis experience feelings of self-consciousness, embarrassment, and anxiety in social situations, which can significantly impact their confidence and quality of life.

Treatment For Hyperhidrosis

Treatment Options

We offer a range of treatment options for hyperhidrosis, tailored to address each patient’s specific needs and preferences. These options may include:

Topical Treatments: Topical antiperspirants containing aluminium chloride are often the first line of treatment for mild to moderate hyperhidrosis. These products work by temporarily blocking the sweat glands, reducing sweat production in the affected areas.
Oral Medications: In some cases, oral medications such as anticholinergics may be prescribed to help reduce excessive sweating. These medications work by blocking the signals that trigger sweat production in the body.
Botulinum Toxin Injections: Botulinum toxin injections, commonly known as Botox, are highly effective in treating focal hyperhidrosis, particularly in the underarms, palms, and feet. The injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production, providing long-lasting relief from excessive sweating.
Laser Therapy: Laser therapy, such as laser sweat ablation, offers a minimally invasive solution for treating hyperhidrosis. This innovative treatment targets and destroys the sweat glands in the affected areas, providing long-lasting relief from excessive sweating.

Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond the treatment itself. We provide ongoing support and follow-up care to ensure that you achieve and maintain the best possible results. Our team is always available to address any questions or concerns you may have and to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to optimise your outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis can be caused by various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or medications. While the exact cause may vary from person to person, the condition is generally characterised by an overactive sweat gland response, leading to excessive sweating.
How do I know if I have hyperhidrosis?

If you experience excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for your body’s thermoregulation and it significantly impacts your daily life or causes embarrassment or discomfort, you may have hyperhidrosis. A medical evaluation by one of our experienced professionals can help confirm the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
Are hyperhidrosis treatments safe?

Yes, hyperhidrosis treatments offered at The Doctors Method are generally safe when performed by experienced medical professionals. We utilise advanced technology and techniques to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our treatments. During your initial consultation, we will discuss any potential risks or side effects associated with the treatment options and address any concerns you may have.
How long do hyperhidrosis treatments last?

The duration of hyperhidrosis treatments can vary depending on the specific treatment option chosen and individual factors such as the severity of the condition and the body’s response to treatment. For example, botulinum toxin injections typically provide relief from excessive sweating for several months before additional treatments may be needed to maintain results. Our team will provide you with personalised guidance on the expected duration of treatment effects based on your unique circumstances.
