WHAT IS HYPERHIDROSIS?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that exceeds the body’s physiological needs. Sweat glands become overactive even in the absence of physical exertion or high temperatures.
The most common areas affected are the underarms, palms, feet, and face. This condition can cause significant physical and psychological discomfort, impacting self-confidence, professional activities, and social life.
Understanding what hyperhidrosis is and consulting a doctor in a timely manner allows for choosing an effective treatment method. Modern medical aesthetics offers safe solutions, among which botulinum therapy is the gold standard for treating localized hyperhidrosis.
What types of hyperhidrosis exist?
Depending on the causes of hyperhidrosis and its development mechanism, two main types are distinguished:
Primary hyperhidrosis
- occurs without underlying diseases;
- often has a genetic predisposition;
- usually manifests at a young age;
- most commonly affects the underarms, palms, and feet.
Secondary hyperhidrosis
is a consequence of other conditions or disorders in the body. Possible causes of hyperhidrosis include:
- hormonal imbalances;
- thyroid diseases;
- stress and anxiety disorders;
- taking certain medications;
- metabolic disorders.
Determining the type and cause of hyperhidrosis allows for selecting the most effective treatment strategy.
Methods of hyperhidrosis treatment
Modern medicine offers several methods to effectively control excessive sweating.
1.Botulinum therapy for hyperhidrosis (the gold standard)
Areas: underarms, palms, feet

In most cases, botulinum therapy for hyperhidrosis is the optimal solution when a patient is looking for how to treat hyperhidrosis effectively and safely.
If you are interested in how to fight hyperhidrosis effectively and safely, botulinum therapy is the optimal solution. The price of hyperhidrosis treatment depends on the area and the amount of the drug, and is determined during a doctor’s consultation.
