Excessive Sweating (Hyperhydrosis)
Refined, evidence-based care tailored to your skin.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhydrosis)
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, occurs when sweat glands produce more sweat than is necessary for temperature regulation. This can affect areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or other regions and may interfere with daily activities and comfort.
At Sydclinic, hyperhidrosis is approached with careful assessment and conservative treatment planning. Neuromodulator therapy may be considered when excessive sweating significantly impacts quality of life and other measures have been insufficient.
-
Neuromodulators may be used to temporarily reduce excessive sweating by blocking the signals that activate sweat glands in targeted areas. Treatment is localized, carefully dosed, and individualized based on the area treated and severity of symptoms. Common areas of treatment include the underarms and hands.
-
A consultation is required to assess the pattern and severity of sweating, medical history, and suitability for treatment. Treatment recommendations are individualized and guided by safety and regulatory considerations.
