Sweating is a natural process which cools down your body and controls your body temperature. Hyperhidrosis is the term used for excessive sweating, which is a common problem. Excessive sweating in the underarm area can be really embarrassing for both men and women and often has a negative impact on self esteem and confidence. However, here at Enhanced Aesthetics, we have a treatment for hyperhidrosis.

‍

Hyperhidrosis can be a very real hindrance to some people’s everyday routines. We advise that you seek immediate medical attention if your heavy sweating is accompanied by lightheadedness, chest pain or nausea. You should also see your doctor if sweating causes emotional distress, you suddenly have started to sweat more than usual or you experience night sweats for no apparent reason.

How can you help yourself

Before you get treatment, there are things that a pharmacist can give you over the counter to help with hyperhidrosis. Have you tried:

• stronger antiperspirants instead of deodorant
• armpit or sweat shields to protect your clothing
• foot powders for sweaty feet or
• soap substitutes for sensitive skin?

Causes

There is no medical reason for hyperhidrosis. It is believed to run in families, however this is not certain. The nerves responsible for signaling your sweat glands become overactive, even though they haven’t been triggered by physical activity or a rise in temperature. Often the problem gets worse when you are stressed.

Our Treatment

First, we will have a consultation to assess the condition and discuss the best course of action. We can offer an effective and proven treatment, where we inject a protein into the underarm area in small doses. This blocks the nerves that are near your sweat glands and so they cannot produce sweat.

So, if you want to regain your confidence and feel great in yourself, why not get in touch with us? Our highly professional, friendly team will make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your treatment and your confidence will be at an all time high!
