hyperhidrosis

‍

The cause of hyperhidrosis is complex and not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to genetics, hormones, or nerve damage caused by injury or diseases like diabetes. The most common areas affected by hyperhidrosis are the hands, feet, face, armpits, and scalp, though it can occur anywhere on the body.

Although there is no cure for hyperhidrosis, there are a number of treatments available to help manage it. A popular treatment for hyperhidrosis is botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox). This neurotoxin works by blocking signals from nerves that trigger sweat production in areas where it is injected. The effects tend to last several months and can be used to treat both localized and generalized areas of excessive sweating.

Although hyperhidrosis can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, it is important to remember that there are treatments available that can help reduce or even eliminate the symptoms. Whether you choose topical antiperspirants, oral medications, or botulinum toxin injections, you don’t have to live with the discomfort and social awkwardness associated with excessive sweating. With the right treatment plan, you can regain your confidence and get back to living life as normal. Ask us about prescriptions for third-party insurance coverage or book your injection today!
