What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that surpasses what is needed to regulate body temperature. This excessive sweating can affect specific areas of the body, including the underarms, hands, feet, and face, often occurring even in cooler temperatures or without physical activity.

There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:

Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: Typically localised to certain areas and often linked to genetics.

Secondary Generalised Hyperhidrosis: Caused by an underlying medical condition, such as hormonal imbalances or neurological disorders, or as a side effect of certain medications.

How Does Hyperhidrosis Occur?

The condition is caused by overactive sweat glands. Normally, sweating helps cool the body, but in hyperhidrosis, these glands are overstimulated, leading to excessive perspiration without a clear cause. This overactivity is often due to overstimulated nerves that control the sweat glands.

Managing Hyperhidrosis: Treatment Options

For those suffering from hyperhidrosis, consulting a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis is the first step. Once diagnosed, there are several treatment options that can dramatically improve quality of life.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Hyperhidrosis
Muscle relaxers or Anti-Wrinkle Injections offer an effective solution for managing hyperhidrosis. These injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands in areas like the underarms, hands, or feet. By inhibiting these signals, the sweat glands produce less perspiration, providing significant relief from excessive sweating. Studies show that this treatment can reduce sweating by up to 96%.

This treatment is minimally invasive, quick, and can last several months, helping individuals regain confidence and comfort in their daily lives without the burden of constant sweating. If you’re struggling with hyperhidrosis, muscle relaxers may be a great option to explore.

RF Microneedling for Hyperhidrosis

RF Microneedling is another powerful option. This treatment combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to target overactive sweat glands deep within the skin. The RF energy disrupts the glands’ function, decreasing sweat production without damaging surrounding tissues. With minimal downtime, RF microneedling provides a longer-lasting solution for managing excessive sweating, restoring confidence and comfort.

How Many Sessions Will You Require?

The number of sessions required depends on the severity of sweating, the thickness of your axillary vault, and your personal expectations. RF Microneedling may require 2-3 sessions for optimal results.

It is important to note that the goal of any sweat treatment is a reduction in sweating. Successful treatments will reduce sweating by 70 to 85%.

Before and After Treatment

Before treatment, individuals often face daily challenges, including embarrassment, discomfort, and difficulties in both personal and professional settings. However, after undergoing these treatments, the results can be life-changing. Patients often report a noticeable decrease in sweating, regaining their confidence and no longer worrying about sweat stains or discomfort in social situations.

RF Microneedling or Anti-Wrinkle Injections are among the most effective options. By injecting treatment into areas like the underarms or palms, nerve signals responsible for excessive sweating are temporarily blocked. These minimally invasive, quick procedures provide lasting relief, helping reduce sweat production for several months.

After treatment, patients experience a noticeable decrease in excessive sweating, allowing them to feel comfortable and confident in social settings and everyday life. Concerns like sweat stains and self-consciousness are minimised, bringing newfound ease and reassurance.
