Treatment of Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
HYPERHIDROSIS
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition characterized by the production of sweat beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. It can have a significant impact on quality of life, causing physical discomfort, social embarrassment, and limitations in daily activities.
In our clinics, we offer specialized medical evaluation and modern, effective treatments for controlling hyperhidrosis, including definitive and minimally invasive solutions.
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis can affect different areas of the body, being most frequent in:
-
Armpits
-
Hands
-
Feet
-
Face
Excessive sweating can occur independently of heat or physical exercise and often manifests itself even at rest.
Specialized Medical Evaluation
Evaluation is carried out by a physician with dedicated experience in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. During the consultation:
-
The severity and location of sweating are assessed
-
Possible secondary causes are excluded
-
A personalized treatment plan is defined
The initial evaluation may be performed online, followed by in-person consultation or treatment as clinically indicated.
Available Treatments
Depending on severity and the affected area, different therapeutic approaches may be recommended. Among the available options, MiraDry stands out for the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis.
