Understanding Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It’s diagnosed when you have overactive sweat glands, which overcompensate in regulating your body temperature.
The condition can affect any part of the body, but most commonly affects the armpits, palms of hands, soles of the feet, forehead, chest, groin and upper lip.
Hyperhidrosis can affect your self-confidence and may lead to problems with personal hygiene and social interactions. It’s a fairly common condition, affecting around one to three in every hundred adults.
Causes and Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis
Sweating is a common bodily function which helps us regulate our body temperature. In some people, excessive sweating develops due to hormonal disorders, reactions to medication, problems with the nervous system or other medical conditions. It can also be a genetic condition without an obvious cause. Excessive sweating treatment can be effective for all types of hyperhidrosis.
Primary hyperhidrosis
Primary or localised hyperhidrosis is when the condition is inherited, and there is no known underlying cause. It can occur in childhood and continue throughout adulthood. This type of hyperhidrosis occurs in specific parts of the body, including the soles of feet, palms, face, scalp and armpits.
Secondary hyperhidrosis
Secondary or generalised hyperhidrosis is triggered by an underlying cause or a reaction to medication. This tends to result in sweating all over the body. The sweating, in this case, is a symptom or side effect of something else. It could be triggered by an infection, pregnancy, anxiety or blood sugar levels.
Treating Hyperhidrosis Excessive Sweating in Manchester
The first step in treating excessive sweating is to have an initial consultation with a specialist. This is necessary to understand the cause of your condition and how we can help. We will ask about your medical history and the symptoms you’re experiencing.
Treatment can be prescribed once we’re sure that it will help tackle your concerns and alleviate your symptoms. While antiperspirants and oral medications may help to tackle some of the side effects of excessive sweating, one of the best treatments is through Botulinum Toxin injections.
How Does Botulinum Toxin Help Treat Excessive Sweating?
Botulinum Toxin, also known as Botox treatment, works by temporarily blocking the signals between the brain and sweat glands. This drastically reduces sweat production.
It’s a proven, safe and quick treatment – taking less than an hour depending on the size of the treatment area. We use tiny needles, so the procedure is virtually painless. However, we can use numbing cream at your request.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results can last between 6 and 9 months but may begin to fade gradually. Top-up treatment at regular intervals is recommended to maintain results for longer.
