What is excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the body produces more sweat than is needed to regulate temperature. It most often affects the underarms, hands, feet, or face, and can happen even when you’re not hot or exercising, making everyday situations feel stressful and uncomfortable. Triggers can include heat and exercise, stress or emotions, hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, and even genetics. While excessive sweating isn’t harmful, it can interfere with daily life and confidence. The good news is that modern treatments, like targeted injectables, can safely and effectively reduce sweating, helping to keep skin drier and improving long-term comfort.
