Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Everybody sweats as a normal part of regulating core body temperature. However, some people sweat excessively. This can be uncomfortable, damaging to clothing and can be embarrassing if visible patches appear on the clothes. Hyperhidrosis is most commonly associated with the armpit (axilla) but can also affect the palms of hands and face.

Using micro-injections, Dr. Joanna can reduce sweating significantly. So whether it’s for day-to-day life, or in preparation for a particularly important or stressful occasion, hyperhidrosis is one less thing for you to worry about thanks to this simple treatment.

There is no risk to your body and your temperature regulation if your excessive sweating is tackled, as it does not completely prevent sweating, merely curtails it.
