Excessive sweating

Sweating is a totally natural process through which the body controls heat. Some people suffer from excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis.
​
It can be a minor annoyance, but it can also be a serious condition, that can affect the quality of life, relationships and careers, as they are reluctant to share a hug, get close to other people and/or shake hands.
​
Localized hyperhidrosis of the armpits can be treated effectively using subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin.
Botulinum toxin slows down the secretion of sweat for 6 to 12 months. Having an injection in spring is recommended in order to prevent excessive sweating during the hottest months of the year.
​
An alternative and longer reduction of sweat secretion can be obtained using microneedling RF treatment.
​
Hyperhidrosis can have multiple causes; it is therefore necessary to clarify whether there is a metabolic cause behind it (thyroid problems among other things).
