Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is abnormally excessive sweating that's not directly related to hot weather or exercise. You may sweat so much that it soaks through your clothes or drips off your hands. It disrupts your daily activities. This type of heavy sweating can cause social anxiety and embarrassment. In addition to this wet skin folds are prone to chafing, irritant dermatitis and infection.

Hyperhidrosis treatment usually helps, beginning with prescription-strength antiperspirants. If antiperspirants don't help, you may need to try different medications and therapies (Offered by NovaMed Aesthetics). Surgery to remove the sweat glands is rarely performed, however a procedure may be performed to disconnect the nerves responsible for the overproduction of sweat.

At NovaMed Aesthetics we offer a tailored service for this condition starting from medical (Oral & Topical) therapy through to focal nerve blocking injections.
