Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis means excessive sweating, even in cool temperatures. It can affect any part of the body, but it is most common in the palms, underarms, and feet.

It can be embarrassing and disruptive to your daily life, but if you’re struggling with hyperhidrosis, you’re not alone: millions of people around the world experience this condition, and we have plenty of treatment options.

There are two types of hyperhidrosis:

• Primary hyperhidrosis: This is the most common type of hyperhidrosis. It is not caused by any other medical condition, and this means that we have more treatment options and less chance of complex medical interactions.
• Secondary hyperhidrosis: This type of hyperhidrosis is caused by another medical condition, such as obesity, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes. We can still offer treatments, but it is important to establish the underlying cause first so that we can offer treatments in sync with any medications for your initial condition.
