Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a medical disorder in which a person sweats more than necessary to regulate body temperature. This can affect different parts of the body, including the palms, feet, underarms, and face, without any evident cause, such as heat or physical activity. Hyperhidrosis can significantly impact daily life, leading to discomfort, embarrassment, and social anxiety. Hyperhidrosis treatments are available and range from topical antiperspirants and oral medications to more advanced options like Botox injections and even surgical interventions. Each treatment works differently, such as Botox injections temporarily block the nerves responsible for sweat production.
Hyperhidrosis affects individuals of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Most treatments are minimally invasive and can be done in-office with little downtime. For instance, Botox injections for hyperhidrosis typically take around 30 minutes, with results lasting up to six months.
