What it is

Excessive sweating, known medically as hyperhidrosis, is sweating well beyond what heat, effort, or nerves would explain, most often at the underarms, the palms, or the soles. It can soak through clothing, complicate work and social life, and resist ordinary antiperspirants.

A relaxer placed just beneath the skin of the affected area quiets the nerve signal to the sweat glands, reducing the sweating for months at a time.

Why Patients Seek Treatment

Treatment suits the patient whose sweating exceeds what heat or effort explains, particularly at the underarms, and who has found ordinary antiperspirants insufficient. It is among the most reliably effective treatments we offer.

UNderstanding the science

What causes it

Hyperhidrosis comes from overactive sweat glands, driven by nerve signals that fire more than the body needs. It is often present from youth and runs in families, the underarms and palms most commonly affected. It is not a matter of hygiene or of being unfit, but of glands that simply work too hard.

Common Signs

You may notice:

  • Sweating that soaks clothing even when cool or at rest
  • Damp palms that complicate handshakes, writing, or devices
  • Sweating that ordinary antiperspirants do not control

Why it changes over time

Hyperhidrosis is often lifelong, beginning in youth and continuing steadily, though it can ease somewhat with age. It tends not to resolve on its own, which is why a treatment that quiets it for months at a time is so welcome to those it affects.

Sarah is so naturally kind and knows her profession very good. She keeps you so calm by asking how you are doing and having good conversation with you while doing procedures. I absolutely love her sweet personality. I had laser done on my legs from years of sun damage and it went so smooth. Thanks Sarah! The whole team is so professional and nice.
