Excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis is an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition which affects many men and women.

Due to over-activity of the sweat glands, the body produces far more sweat than normal, well in excess of what is needed to cool the body to normal temperature.

It most often affects the underarms but also the face, chest, back, hands and feet.

The cause can be genetic or it can be a response to nerves or stress. Whatever the origin, it can be desperately embarrassing, particularly when you are in a social or business situation.

Fortunately, treatment is simple, involving a few injections into the affected area using ultra-fine needles. This blocks the action of the nerves which activate the sweat glands, reducing sweating to an acceptable level (some sweating is necessary for its cooling effect). There is usually no pain and no after effects.

Afterwards, you will be able to face life with more confidence, free of fear of embarrassment.

The effects of the treatment last for several months.
