Excessive Sweating Treatment at Our Cockfosters Skin Clinic

No-one should have to feel self-conscious about excessive sweating. Thankfully, with hyperhidrosis treatment, you can eliminate feelings of embarrassment, and get on with living your life to the fullest, just as you deserve to.

What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is the clinical name for excessive sweating. The most common reason for the condition is genetics, though secondary causes like diabetes and Parkinson’s disease can also be responsible for the body producing more sweat than it should.

Overactive sweat is a result of the body’s sympathetic system telling your nerves to sweat at incorrect times (when it’s not necessary to cool the body). During your consultation, we will explore your medical history, to rule out a serious medical condition as the cause of the condition.

We may suggest a clinical strength antiperspirant, and if your skin is susceptible to irritation and sweat rashes, we can explore the option of prescribing skincare products to treat these.

FAQs

1. What is hyperhidrosis treatment?

Here at The Smile Studios, we use one of the most effective treatments for excessive sweating – injectable botulinum toxin. The injectable toxin temporarily interrupts the signal that would otherwise tell the sweat glands to create sweat. This prevents perspiration, without causing a ‘backlog’ of sweat. The results last around 5 to 6 months and subside gradually. You should notice the full effects of treatment after 7 days.
