It can be embarrassing or uncomfortable when you sweat more than you need to and sometimes the perspiration occurs for no apparent reason. Sometimes this abnormal sweating occurs due to a condition called hyperhidrosis. Madison, WI’s Radiance Skin Therapy & Laser Center can provide further information to help you manage this condition.
Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a condition that can occur on the underarms, palms, face, scalp, and feet. It causes you to sweat more than normal. People who live with this condition may find that it negatively affects their quality of life, often leading to embarrassment and social isolation. Hyperhidrosis may make it difficult to hold a pen, hold a mouse without it slipping out of their hand, grip a steering wheel, or shake hands. People who suffer from it may develop wetness around the underarms and an unpleasant odor when they wear shirts. Some patients who have this condition may also experience extreme flushing on their faces.
There are two main types: primary focal hyperhidrosis – the most common type – where only certain areas of the body are affected and secondary generalized hyperhidrosis, which causes sweating on large areas of the body.
For more details about hyperhidrosis, contact Madison, WI’s Radiance Skin Therapy & Laser Center. Call 608.240.0088 or fill out a contact form to set up a consultation.
Sweat glands appear all over the body and release sweat to help control the body’s temperature through water evaporation from the skin. These glands are normally switched on by nerves due to exposure to heat, exercise, or emotional changes. If you have excessive sweating, the nerves that trigger the sweat glands aren’t functioning properly and cause you to perspire even when you don’t need to, regardless of your mood and the temperature. The nerve is oversensitive and causes an overproduction of sweat. Most of the time, excessive sweating occurs in otherwise healthy people.
When left untreated, hyperhidrosis can continue to cause problems. Treatments for excessive sweating can improve your quality of life. To treat hyperhidrosis, you will need to start by getting an accurate diagnosis. The goal of treatments is to reduce the abnormal sweating to the extent that it no longer interferes with your everyday life. There is no one single solution that is best for everyone. Your treatment plan will be customized according to your needs. The best treatment depends on the severity of your condition. BOTOX® is an approved treatment for hyperhidrosis. It works by blocking the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active.
We can also provide more information about other conditions such as acne,cellulite, scars, spider veins, and more. In terms of aesthetic treatments, we provide a variety of injectables and skin rejuvenation options to help you restore a more refreshed appearance, such as BOTOX®, a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles that cause facial wrinkles.
Radiance Skin Therapy & Laser Center also offers chemical peels, microdermabrasion, AQUAGOLD® microchanneling and Genius®RF Microneedling for individuals who want to address cosmetic concerns and improve the general appearance of their skin. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion promote skin cell turnover and improve skin irregularities. AQUAGOLD® microchanneling is a microinjection system that applies nourishing ingredients just below the skin’s surface. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that’s designed to stimulate the skin’s healing process so that more collagen and elastin are produced.
