Most normal or heavy sweating can be controlled with shop bought antiperspirants or aluminium chloride. When the amount of sweating is excessive and cannot be controlled by these measures it is termed "Hyperhidrosis".
Axillary Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating from the armpits, hands and feet. Sweating is normal in humans, the evaporation of the water from the skin takes the heat away from the body and so sweating is essential for temperature control. Although some people have Hyperhidrosis as a consequence of another illness, in many others it is merely due to overactive sweat glands or over activity of the sympathetic nervous system. However, excessive sweating from the armpits can be more than just annoying - it can alter the way some people live their lives.
People suffering from axillary, feet and hands hyperhidrosis find that they have to be very careful about what clothes they buy or wear and find that they are very self conscious in the social setting, particularly if hot or nervous. At work people suffering from axillary, feet and hands hyperhidrosis are always conscious of what they are wearing, and if they can remove their outer garments - or whether this might reveal embarrassing sweat marks on their clothes.
Relief of the condition can lead to vastly improved quality of life.
The treatment is relatively painless and will take about half an hour to forty-five minutes to complete. There are no side, or after affects and normal activities can be resumed immediately. The treatment will last for up to nine months.
