What Is Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition in which the body produces sweat beyond what is necessary to regulate temperature. This overactive sweating can affect areas such as the underarms, palms, feet, and face, causing significant discomfort and embarrassment. Hyperhidrosis can occur even when the body is cool or at rest, and it often interferes with daily activities and social interactions. While sweating is a natural bodily function, excessive sweating may require medical intervention to help manage its effects and improve quality of life.

What Are the Causes of Excessive Sweating?

  • Overactive Sweat Glands: In hyperhidrosis, the sweat glands are overstimulated by the nervous system, causing excessive sweating.
  • Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to developing hyperhidrosis, making them more prone to excessive sweating.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions such as hyperthyroidism or menopause can cause abnormal sweating patterns.
  • Emotional Stress: Anxiety, nervousness, or stress can trigger excessive sweating in some individuals, particularly in social situations.
  • Certain Medications: Some medications, like antidepressants, can have side effects that include excessive sweating.

Treatment for Excessive Sweating?

  • Neuromodulators (e.g., Botox, Dysport): A highly effective treatment for excessive sweating. When injected into the affected areas, neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport block the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, reducing sweat production. This minimally invasive treatment provides long-lasting relief, with results lasting up to six months. Commonly used for underarm sweating, Botox and Dysport are also effective for treating excessive sweating on the palms, feet, and face.
