Sweating is normal. Sweating through your shirt while sitting in an air-conditioned room? That’s a different conversation.
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It commonly affects areas such as the underarms, palms, feet, and sometimes the face or scalp.
For people who experience it, excessive sweating can affect clothing choices, work, social situations, and everyday comfort.
What Can Help Excessive Sweating?
Neuromodulators such as Botox may be used in certain areas to temporarily reduce the nerve signals that activate sweat glands.
Treatment isn’t necessarily appropriate for every type or cause of excessive sweating, which is why evaluation matters—particularly when sweating is new, unexplained, or accompanied by other symptoms.
Treatment options may include:
- Botox/Neuromodulators
- Medical Grade Facials (for acne/bacne as a result of excessive sweating)
Your provider can discuss the areas that can be treated, what to expect from treatment, and whether you’re an appropriate candidate.
