About Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, is a condition caused by overactive sweat glands. It can be triggered by various things, but most commonly it is associated with stress & anxiety, affecting the hands, feet, underarms or all over the body.

Sweating is usually a response to raised body temperature, however, hyperhidrosis can trigger even at normal body temperatures.

The most common form of excessive sweating is primary focal hyperhidrosis. This causes the nerves that trigger sweat glands to become overactive, sending messages even when they are not needed.

Hyperhidrosis can cause a great deal of embarrassment, leading people to take drastic measures to conceal the issue. Often, over-the-counter medical antiperspirants can cause rashes and soreness, disrupting the skin and leading to discomfort in the affected area.

Our clinic offers hyperhidrosis treatment that stops excessive sweating at its cause. Treatment at Light Touch Clinic offers an effective solution to restore confidence. Book your consultation with one of our experts today to discuss our bespoke treatment for excessive sweating.

Hyperhidrosis – Frequently Asked Questions

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition defined as sweating more than is required to regulate body temperature. This condition can affect different parts of the body, like the hands, feet, armpits, face, and back, and can cause discomfort and embarrassment.

Hyperhidrosis can be either primary, with no underlying medical cause, or secondary, resulting from other health issues like diabetes, menopause, or infections.

Excessive sweating is often caused by overactive sweat glands, particularly in primary hyperhidrosis, where nerves responsible for signalling sweat glands become over-stimulated.

In secondary hyperhidrosis, underlying medical conditions like thyroid issues, hormonal imbalances, or side effects of medications can lead to excessive sweating. Emotional triggers, stress, heat, or physical activity can also exacerbate sweating.

To reduce excessive armpit sweating, using clinical-strength antiperspirants, which contain higher concentrations of aluminum chloride, can be effective.

For more serious cases, treatments like Excessive Sweating Injections, prescription medications, or even surgical options, such as sweat gland removal, may be considered. However, Excessive Sweating Injections are often seen as the best option. Wearing breathable fabrics and avoiding spicy foods can also help manage underarm sweating.

Facial sweating can be controlled by using specialised antiperspirants, facial wipes designed to reduce sweat, or treatments designed to reduce sweat.

Managing stress through relaxation techniques or using cooling sprays can also provide relief. However, once again, Excessive Sweating Injections are often seen as the best option when it comes to stopping excessive sweating on your face.

Back sweating can be tricky due to its large area, but wearing moisture-wicking clothing, staying in cool environments, and using body antiperspirants can help reduce discomfort. Maintaining good personal hygiene and avoiding tight or synthetic fabrics can further reduce sweating.

Natural methods to manage excessive sweating include dietary adjustments, such as avoiding spicy foods and caffeine, which can trigger sweating.

Herbal remedies like sage tea, apple cider vinegar, and witch hazel may have mild antiperspirant effects. Sweating brought on by stress can be avoided by engaging in stress-reduction practices like yoga or meditation.

Hyperhidrosis of the hands, also known as palmar hyperhidrosis, can be treated with clinical antiperspirants, iontophoresis (a treatment that uses a mild electrical current), or injections.

Excessive Sweating Injections at Light Touch Clinic can cure hyperhidrosis in your hands by disabling the nerves in the sweat glands and blocking the ability to produce sweat. In severe cases, surgery to cut nerves responsible for sweating (sympathectomy) may be considered, though it carries risks.

While remedies and deodorants may cause some temporary relief, getting treatment for excessive sweating is often the most effective.

At Light Touch Clinic, we offer Excessive Sweating Injections, which work by disabling the nerves in the sweat glands and blocking the signals to produce sweat. These injections produce instant results and can treat the underarms, hands, face and feet.
