Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a distressing and often debilitating condition that can severely impact day-to-day life. Those affected by hyperhidrosis frequently struggle to feel confident and comfortable, as excessive sweating imposes significant limitations on their ability to engage in everyday activities.

The condition most commonly affects the underarms, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Patients have shared stories of developing noticeable sweat patches under their arms just five minutes after leaving the house—even in winter. Choosing what to wear becomes a daily challenge. Others with excessive sweating of the palms may avoid physical contact, feeling self-conscious when shaking hands. In one particularly heartbreaking case, a mother couldn’t safely hold her daughter’s hand to cross a street because her palms were too wet. These personal accounts highlight how profoundly hyperhidrosis can interfere with daily life.

But there’s good news—effective treatments are available.

Even if your symptoms aren't as severe as those described, it may still be worth exploring your options. Many of our patients with milder cases of excessive sweating have reported significant improvements in their quality of life following treatment.

When it comes to the underarms, injections with botulinum toxin ('Botox') are an exceptionally effective treatment that can offer relief for 6-12 months. Prior to the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to ensure the process is comfortable and pain-free. Feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many describing the treatment as life-changing.
