Summary Content

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a medical condition caused by overactive sweat glands, often affecting areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face. It can significantly impact daily life—causing discomfort, limiting activities, and affecting self-confidence. While it may be triggered by genetics, stress, or underlying health conditions, it can also occur without a clear cause.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Edmonton, we offer comprehensive assessments and personalized treatment plans to manage hyperhidrosis effectively. Options may include neuromodulator injections to temporarily block sweat gland activity, prescription-strength topical treatments, or oral medications, depending on the severity and location of the condition. Our goal is to reduce sweat production, restore comfort, and help you feel more confident in your skin.

If excessive sweating is interfering with your lifestyle, book a consultation today to explore safe, proven solutions tailored to your needs.

What Is Excessive Sweating?

Hyperhidrosis, commonly known as excessive sweating, occurs when the sweat glands produce more perspiration than the body needs to regulate temperature. This condition can affect specific areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face, and may arise without a clear cause (primary hyperhidrosis) or be linked to medical conditions or medications (secondary hyperhidrosis).

While not dangerous, hyperhidrosis can lead to significant physical and emotional challenges—interfering with work, social situations, and daily comfort. The constant moisture may also increase the risk of skin irritation or infection. Fortunately, there are effective solutions available. With the right treatment, many people experience significant improvement in both their symptoms and overall confidence.

Signs & Symptoms of Excessive Sweating

Identifying the symptoms of hyperhidrosis early can lead to more effective management. Key signs include:

  • Excessive Sweating Without a Clear Cause: Persistent sweating that occurs without heat, exercise, or stress.
  • Localized Sweat Patterns: Overactive perspiration in areas like the underarms, palms, soles, or forehead—often occurring on both sides of the body equally.
  • Impact on Clothing and Comfort: Regularly needing to change clothes, use absorbent materials, or avoid certain fabrics due to wetness or staining.
  • Disruption to Daily Life: Difficulty performing tasks like using a keyboard, shaking hands, or holding tools, as well as avoiding social interactions due to embarrassment.

If you notice these signs, consulting a specialist can help determine whether you’re experiencing hyperhidrosis and what treatment options are right for you.
