Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, can be a challenging condition that affects various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, underarms, and face. If you’ve been searching for solutions to manage this often uncomfortable and embarrassing issue, you’re not alone.Â
Understanding Hyperhidrosis
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This condition can significantly impact daily life and self-esteem, leading many to seek effective treatments. Hyperhidrosis can be localised (focal hyperhidrosis) or affect the entire body (generalised hyperhidrosis). Common areas affected include:
Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis manifests in various ways, often interfering with routine activities and social interactions. Recognising the symptoms can help in seeking timely and appropriate treatment. Symptoms of hyperhidrosis can vary in severity and may include:
Causes of Hyperhidrosis
Understanding the root causes of hyperhidrosis is crucial for effective management. While the exact cause isn’t always clear, it can be categorised into two types:
Effective Treatments for Hyperhidrosis
Living with hyperhidrosis can be frustrating, but several treatments can help manage the symptoms. Each treatment option varies in effectiveness, duration, and suitability for different individuals. At Vie Aesthetics, we offer safe and effective solutions tailored to your needs.
Topical Treatments
For many, topical treatments are the first line of defense against excessive sweating. Over-the-counter antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride can be effective for mild cases of hyperhidrosis. Prescription-strength antiperspirants are also available for more severe cases.
Oral Medications
Oral medications can provide relief when topical treatments are not sufficient. Certain medications, such as anticholinergics, can reduce sweating. However, these are typically prescribed when other treatments have not been effective.
Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is a non-invasive treatment option for those with hyperhidrosis in the hands and feet. This treatment involves using a device that passes a mild electrical current through water and into the skin’s surface, effectively reducing sweating in the hands and feet.
Injectable Treatments
Injectable treatments offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for hyperhidrosis. At Vie Aesthetics, we specialise in injectable treatments for hyperhidrosis. ‘Tox’ injections, for instance, are a highly effective option for controlling excessive sweating. The treatment works by blocking the nerves that trigger sweat glands, providing relief for several months.
