Excessive sweating (also known as Hyperhidrosis) can affect both men and women and can become an embarrassing problem, which affects peoples lives in a multitude of negative ways.

Sweating often disrupts daily activities, such as the clothes you choose to wear, the environments in which you can speak publicly, it can become a significant burden.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for frequent or excessive sweating. Sweating is the body’s natural cooling mechanism, but when the body produces more sweat than is necessary to cool the body, this is known as hyperhidrosis. The most commonly affected areas are the forehead, palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and the underarms.

Sometimes there are underlying medical reasons why this may be happening, and we advise and encourage all of our patients to fully investigate these before deciding upon which treatment is most appropriate.
