Excessive Sweating
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating usually not related to heat or physical activity.
Hyperhidrosis can be primary or secondary.
Primary Hyperhidrosis is caused by faulty nerve signaling that triggers the sweat glands to become overactive.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis can be caused by several medications such as hormones, painkillers and antidepressants. Also some medical conditions, such as Diabetes, Thyroid dysfunction, Nervous system disorders and menopause can cause excessive sweating.
It affects several areas of the body such as the face, scalp, under arms, hands and feet.
It can be very distressing and disruptive in social interactions as clothing can be soaked in sweat or it can drip from your face, scalp and hands.
Hyperhidrosis can be effectively treated with regular Botulinum Toxin injections in the affected areas.Primary
Botulinum toxin acts by interrupting communication between the nerves and the sweat glands. This results in a drastic reduction in sweat production.
