Overview
Understanding excessive sweating
Hyperhidrosis is sweating in excess of what is required for temperature regulation, most often affecting the underarms, palms, soles or face. It is a recognised medical concern, and several treatment options exist once other causes are excluded.
At Own Skin Dermatology & Advanced Aesthetics we treat the cause, not just the appearance, which is why every plan starts with an examination.
