Hyperhidrosis

Sweating through your shirt in an air conditioned room, or going through deodorant and antiperspirant without any real relief, is often a treatable condition called hyperhidrosis. It can affect the underarms, palms, feet, or face, and it's more common than most people realize. We start with an assessment to confirm what's happening and rule out other causes before building a plan.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the body's sweat glands become overactive, producing far more sweat than is needed to regulate temperature. It most often affects the underarms, palms, soles, or face, and can happen on its own, called primary hyperhidrosis, or as a result of another underlying condition or medication, called secondary hyperhidrosis.

Hyperhidrosis can sometimes point to an underlying cause, so ruling that out is part of doing this properly, not just treating the sweating itself. Our board-certified dermatologists assess your specific pattern first, then use Botox, a well established treatment for this condition, to give you real relief.
