- Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating is when you sweat more than you might expect based on the surrounding temperature or your activity level or stress. Excessive sweating can disrupt daily activities and cause social anxiety or embarrassment.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can affect your entire body or just certain areas, particularly your underarms, palms, soles, face and even intimate areas.
Normally, your sweat glands produce perspiration on the skin’s surface when the air temperature rises, when you are exercising, when you develop a fever, or you’re feeling anxious, nervous or stressed. When those factors are no longer in play, the “normal” sweating stops. For those suffering from excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis, the sweat glands don’t shut off.

What Causes Excessive Sweating?
The causes of excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis depend on the type of sweating that’s happening. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be a warning sign of thyroid problems, diabetes, menopause or even infection. Excessive sweating is also more common in people who are overweight or out of shape. The good news, however, is that most cases of excessive sweating are harmless and can be easily treated!
How To Stop Excessive Sweating?
The success of any treatment for excessive sweating will depend on the severity and cause of the condition. It is therefore of utmost importance to consult with a medical specialist before undergoing any treatment plan.
We have however achieved excellent results with Muscle Relaxing Injections for excessive sweating:
Muscle Relaxing Injections using a Botulinum toxin solution, are superficially injected into the skin layers where the sweat glands are situated, in order to relax the sweat gland muscle. This results in a significant decrease in sweat production which can last up to 6 months without any harmful side effects.
