Hyperhidrosis at sk:n
Hyperhidrosis – what is it and why does it occur?
Although it is normal to sweat if you do exercise or get hot, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) occurs when the body doesn’t need to cool down.
Hyperhidrosis is a long-term condition that can occur for no obvious reason, and can be caused by another condition that you are suffering from or as a side effect of medication you’re taking. It is a common condition that can affect the whole body, especially areas such as your armpits, hands, feet, face, chest and groin.
Can hyperhidrosis be cured?
There is no cure for hyperhidrosis, but it is possible to manage the symptoms of the condition.
For example, wearing loose-fitting white or black coloured clothes can minimise signs of sweating, socks can help to absorb moisture and wearing leather shoes rather than enclosed boots or sports shoes can help too. In addition, avoiding drinking alcohol or eating spicy food can help to minimise your symptoms.
Can excessive sweating be treated?
If your hyperhidrosis is affecting your confidence, it is possible for it to be treated at a specialist clinic like sk:n, where a specialist doctor will discuss your options with you.
Your hyperhidrosis consultation: what to expect
Your hyperhidrosis consultation will be with a doctor who will assess your condition and determine the most appropriate form of treatment. During your consultation they will be able to answer any questions you may have about your hyperhidrosis and give you personalised advice. If they decide your condition can be treated, they will be able to carry out the procedure in-clinic. All of our clinics are monitored by the Care Quality Commission and the equivalent in Scotland (HIS) and Wales (HIW), for your safety and peace of mind.
Hyperhidrosis treatment methods
At sk:n we use one of the most effective and proven treatments for hyperhidrosis which is an injection of a protein preparation into the problem area, normally in the forehead or underarms. In small doses the protein blocks the nerves that supply the eccrine glands, preventing them from producing sweat.
