We are dedicated to improving your quality of life through advanced solutions, ensuring a seamless and reassuring journey towards lasting relief from excessive sweating.

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating, far beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. It’s a challenge that can manifest in cooler temperatures or without any physical exertion, leading to discomfort and often, emotional distress. This condition can deeply impact an individual’s quality of life, leading to social anxiety, reduced self-esteem, and stress due to the visible effects and social implications of excessive sweating.

Causes

  • The primary cause of hyperhidrosis is unusually active sweat glands, which can be significantly managed through treatments targeting these glands.
  • Conditions such as low blood sugar, fluctuations in testosterone levels, thyroid imbalances, or adrenal gland issues can contribute to excessive sweating.
  • There’s evidence suggesting a hereditary component, making some individuals more predisposed to hyperhidrosis.

 

Symptoms

  • Excessive sweating often results in noticeable sweat marks on clothing, particularly around the underarms, even in the absence of heat or physical exertion.
  • Individuals may shy away from social interactions involving touch, like handshakes, due to sweaty palms.
  • The fear of exacerbating sweating may deter participation in sports or exercise.
  • Excessive sweating can affect professional life (e.g., difficulty handling paperwork or electronic devices) and necessitate frequent clothing changes or showers.
  • A reliance on antiperspirants, beyond normal usage, in an attempt to control sweating, which can be both ineffective and unhealthy over time.

At our clinic, we specialise in a highly effective treatment method that targets the root cause of excessive sweating by focusing on the overactive sweat glands responsible for hyperhidrosis. This treatment, administered via injections, is designed to provide long-lasting relief from the symptoms of excessive sweating.

 

How our Hyperhidrosis Treatment Works

  • The active ingredient in the injections works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production. By doing this, it directly addresses the overactivity of the sweat glands, significantly reducing the amount of sweat produced.
  • The treatment is meticulously applied to specific areas most commonly affected by hyperhidrosis, such as the underarms, hands, and feet. This precision ensures that normal sweating continues elsewhere, maintaining the body’s natural cooling process.
  • The procedure is straightforward, requiring only a short visit to the clinic. It involves minimal discomfort and allows for an immediate return to daily activities, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

 

Why It’s Highly Effective

  • One of the key benefits of this treatment is the duration of its effectiveness. Patients typically experience a significant reduction in sweating for several months following the procedure. This extended period of relief can greatly improve quality of life and reduce the anxiety associated with hyperhidrosis.
  • The treatment has been extensively studied and has a well-established safety profile. Side effects, if any, are generally mild and temporary, making it a safe option for most individuals seeking relief from excessive sweating.
  • Due to its effectiveness and the prolonged relief it offers, this treatment has a high rate of patient satisfaction. It allows individuals to engage confidently in social and professional activities without the concern of excessive sweating.

At City Dermatology Clinic, we understand the urgency and hope that accompanies the decision to pursue treatment. Our approach is designed not only to offer effective relief but also to ensure that the journey towards improvement is clear and reassuring.

 

Immediately after receiving our specialised treatment, patients are pleased to find that they can return to their daily routines almost at once, thanks to the minimal downtime involved. This quick recovery is a significant advantage, reflecting our commitment to patient convenience and care.

 

The journey towards a drier, more comfortable life begins shortly after the procedure, with initial improvements in sweat production often observed within just a few days. It’s essential, however, to have a patient outlook, as the full impact of the treatment develops more fully over the next two weeks.

 

Within two weeks of undergoing treatment at City Dermatology Clinic, most patients reach a pivotal moment where the full benefits become evident. The targeted areas show a marked reduction in sweating, allowing patients to experience the freedom and confidence that come with effective hyperhidrosis management.

 

The duration of these results varies from individual to individual, but many of our patients enjoy the effects for several months, often extending up to six months or beyond. The lasting relief provided by our treatment underscores the quality and efficacy of the care we provide at City Dermatology Clinic.

Choosing the right clinic for hyperhidrosis treatment is a significant decision that impacts not just the effectiveness of the treatment but also the overall patient experience. At City Dermatology Clinic, we stand out for several reasons, ensuring that our patients not only receive the best possible care but also regain confidence and control over their lives.

Hyperhidrosis Treatment FAQs

How is hyperhidrosis diagnosed?

At City Dermatology Clinic, diagnosing hyperhidrosis involves a thorough evaluation by our expert team. The process begins with a detailed medical history to understand any underlying conditions or factors that may contribute to excessive sweating. This is followed by a physical examination focusing on the areas of concern. We may also employ specific diagnostic tests which helps visualise the extent of sweating, or thermoregulatory sweat testing. Our aim is to accurately assess the severity and type of hyperhidrosis you’re experiencing to tailor the most effective treatment plan for you.

Is hyperhidrosis dangerous?

Hyperhidrosis itself is not dangerous, but it can significantly impact quality of life, emotional well-being, and social interactions. However, it’s important to diagnose accurately, as excessive sweating can sometimes be a symptom of underlying health issues. At City Dermatology Clinic, we ensure a comprehensive assessment to rule out any secondary causes of hyperhidrosis. While the condition is primarily a benign disorder, managing it effectively can alleviate potential skin infections, discomfort, and emotional distress associated with excessive sweating.

What results can I expect from treatment at City Dermatology Clinic?

At City Dermatology Clinic, our goal is to significantly reduce or eliminate the excessive sweating that disrupts your life. The expected results vary depending on the treatment chosen and the individual characteristics of your hyperhidrosis. Many of our patients experience a substantial reduction in sweating, leading to improved confidence, comfort, and quality of life. During your consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation and the most suitable treatment options. It’s our commitment to provide not only relief from hyperhidrosis but also support and care tailored to your needs throughout your journey with us.

Will hyperhidrosis go away on its own?

In some cases, hyperhidrosis may diminish over time, especially if it’s secondary to another condition that can be treated or resolves naturally. However, primary hyperhidrosis, which is often a lifelong condition, typically does not go away on its own. It tends to be a chronic condition that requires management strategies to control symptoms. At City Dermatology Clinic, we focus on providing long-term solutions and support to help manage the condition effectively, ensuring our patients can lead comfortable and confident lives.

Can hyperhidrosis be cured completely?

While there is currently no definitive cure for primary hyperhidrosis, the treatments available at City Dermatology Clinic can offer significant relief and manage the symptoms effectively. Our approach focuses on reducing sweat production and improving your quality of life. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best treatment plan tailored to your needs and what outcomes you can realistically expect.

How soon can I return to work or daily activities after treatment?

Most hyperhidrosis treatments offered at City Dermatology Clinic have minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily routines shortly after the procedure. The exact recovery time can depend on the specific treatment undertaken. We will provide you with all the necessary aftercare information to ensure a smooth and swift return to your normal activities.

Does losing weight help reduce hyperhidrosis?

Primary hyperhidrosis is generally not directly related to body weight. Making lifestyle changes that include a balanced diet and regular exercise can improve your overall health, which might indirectly influence sweating but isn’t a guaranteed solution for hyperhidrosis. While weight loss can improve overall health and well-being, its effect on hyperhidrosis varies depending on the individual and the type of hyperhidrosis they have. For some, particularly those with secondary hyperhidrosis linked to obesity, losing weight may reduce the severity of sweating.
