Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis):

At Dermathetics in Farringdon, we specialise in treating excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, to improve your comfort and confidence. Our expert medical practitioners offer effective solutions tailored to your needs. Below, we answer your key questions about hyperhidrosis and our treatment options.

What Causes Excessive Sweating?

Sweating is a natural way for the body to cool down during activity or heat. However, when sweat glands overreact without an obvious trigger, it results in hyperhidrosis—excessive sweating that can occur unexpectedly. This condition can disrupt daily life, causing social anxiety and embarrassment. Hyperhidrosis is classified into two types:
● Primary Hyperhidrosis: Often genetic, affecting 30-50% of cases, with no clear cause in most instances.
● Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Triggered by underlying health issues like hyperthyroidism, obesity, adrenal gland disorders, or Parkinson’s disease.
At Dermathetics, we treat primary hyperhidrosis only. We recommend consulting your GP first to rule out medical causes (secondary hyperhidrosis) before seeking our treatments.

What Are My Treatment Options for Excessive Sweating?

At Dermathetics, we use muscle relaxing injections to effectively manage primary hyperhidrosis. This treatment targets overactive sweat glands, offering significant relief. Areas we treat include:
● Armpits: The most common area, treated with a series of injections for dramatic results.
● Forehead: Reduces visible sweating and shine.
● Scalp: Controls excess perspiration.
● Hands: Minimises clammy palms.
● Feet: Addresses sweaty soles.

The procedure takes about 20 minutes, is safe and well-established, and provides results lasting up to 6 months. All treatments are preceded by a mandatory face-to-face consultation with our medical practitioners to assess suitability and discuss precautions.

What Are the Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis typically presents as excessive sweating in specific areas, including:
● Armpits
● Forehead
● Scalp
● Hands
● Feet
This persistent sweating can occur without heat or exertion, impacting your quality of life.

How Do Muscle Relaxing Injections Work?

These injections temporarily block the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, reducing sweat production in the treated area. Administered by our experienced practitioners, the process is quick, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, allowing you to resume your day immediately.
