Excessive Sweating
Skin Concerns
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, affects millions worldwide, impacting daily life and self-esteem. Hyperhidrosis is characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. While sweating is a natural bodily function, those with hyperhidrosis experience sweat production that exceeds normal levels, leading to persistent dampness, discomfort, and social anxiety.
Causes and Triggers of Hyperhidrosis
The causes of hyperhidrosis can vary, with several factors contributing to its development:
Genetics: Family history may predispose individuals to hyperhidrosis, suggesting a genetic component.
Medical Conditions: Conditions like thyroid disorders, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases can exacerbate sweating.
Medications: Some medications, including antidepressants and certain blood pressure medications, may cause excessive sweating as a side effect.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can trigger or worsen hyperhidrosis.
Impact of Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis can profoundly affect various aspects of life:
Social Confidence: Excessive sweating can lead to embarrassment and self-consciousness in social situations.
Professional Life: In professional settings, hyperhidrosis can undermine confidence and affect performance.
Physical Discomfort: Persistent dampness and chafing can cause physical discomfort and skin irritation.
Psychological Well-being: The psychological toll can include anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
Treatment Options for Hyperhidrosis
At Beauty by Doctor, we offer a range of in-clinic treatments to manage hyperhidrosis effectively:
Sweat gland muscle relaxants: Commonly utilising botulinum toxin, these can treat hyperhidrosis by blocking signals that stimulate sweat glands, significantly reducing sweating in targeted areas such as underarms, palms, and feet.
Morpheus8: This treatment uses fractional radiofrequency microneedling to target sweat glands deep within the skin, reducing sweat production and improving skin texture with minimal downtime.
