Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, can affect the whole body, but is usually concentrated in certain areas, such as the: armpits, palms of hands, soles of feet, or the face. While excessive sweating is rarely harmful, it is known to cause embarrassment, self-consciousness, and in some cases even depression and anxiety for the sufferer.
Hyperhidrosis has no obvious cause, but in many cases there are some clear, contributing factors such as environmental temperature, or high pressured social and professional situations. People suffering with excessive sweating often have to make changes to their daily life to accommodate the condition, such as carrying antiperspirant, wearing dark clothes and carrying a spare shirt.
Hyperhidrosis is a permanent condition, but can be treated very effectively with muscle-relaxing injections in the affected area, which works to block the nerves that activate the sweat glands. Results from this treatment can last from 3-6 months. To book your treatment for hyperhidrosis at S-Thetics Clinic in Beaconsfield, get in touch with the team today who will be happy to help you.
