Understanding Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes you to sweat far more than your body needs to regulate temperature. Unlike typical sweating, hyperhidrosis can occur even when you are resting or in cool environments. This can make everyday activities, like shaking hands, working at a computer, or wearing certain fabrics, feel uncomfortable or embarrassing.

Why Antiperspirants Are Not Enough

Drugstore antiperspirants can work for mild cases, but they are often ineffective if you live with moderate to severe hyperhidrosis. These products are not designed to address the underlying overactivity of your sweat glands. If you have tried multiple brands and strengths without relief, it is a sign that you may need professional treatment.

Advanced Treatment Options

When over-the-counter solutions fail, several medical treatments can provide meaningful relief:

  • Prescription Antiperspirants: Stronger formulas that can target excessive sweating more effectively than drugstore versions.

  • Medications: Options that reduce sweating by calming overactive sweat glands.

  • Injections: FDA-approved to block the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles.

By consulting with a specialist, you can receive a personalized plan that aligns with your specific symptoms and lifestyle.
