FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Hyperhidrosis can either:
• only affect certain parts of the body, most commonly the armpits, hands, feet or face; this is known as focal hyperhidrosis
• affect the entire body, known as generalised hyperhidrosis
Sometimes hyperhidrosis has no obvious cause, although many experts believe that problems with the nervous system may be responsible. This is reffered to as primary hyperhidrosis. Most cases of generalised hyperhidrosis have an underlying cause, such as:
• it can be a side effect of taking medication
• it can be related to another condition, such as an overactive thyroid gland
Doctors may refer to this as secondary hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is a common condition. It is thought that there are currently over one million people in England affected by it. Primary hyperhidrosis usually begins during childhood and gets worse after puberty. Men and women are equally affected by the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis can begin at any age. Hyperhidrosis can be a very upsetting condition and it can sometimes be debilitating. People with the condition may experience feelings of depression and anxiety. But hyperhidrosis can sometimes just be an inconvenience. You do not need to wait for embarrassment to treat sweating.
Complications of hyperhidrosis can include increased risk of fungal infections, skin conditions and body odour. Some people may also be affected emotionally.
Excessive sweating can be challenging to treat and it may take a while to find a treatment right for you. Doctors usually recommend starting with the least invasive treatment, such as anti-perspirants. If this doesn’t work, you’ll move on to treatments such as medication to block the sweat glands and surgery. Most people experience a significant improvement to their symptoms with time. Another efficient but temporary method of treating excessive sweating is the application of the same product we use for anti-wrinkle treatment.
Because of its temporary nature the application of the product to prevent the hyperhidrosis is useful when only a transient effect is required or the sweating is not pathological but rather due to weather and lifestyle conditions. This option has been very popular as a lifestyle treatment. In this case the sweating is not classed as a disease but the person asking for this treatment might want to make sure that the sweating is under control at all times. It is very popular as a preparation for events like weddings on a hot summer day. Most body sprays will fail throughout a wedding on a long summer day. Treatment with the best products of the market can make sure nothing will spoil this special day and keep you in perfect shape all day long.
You will already have had your initial consultation with us. We will have assessed whether you have any of the below conditions. If that is the case then you might not be eligible to have hyperhidrosis treatment:

Regulations and Restrictions:
-Cosmetic purposes: In many places, it is illegal to administer Botox or dermal fillers to anyone under 18 for purely cosmetic purposes. This is due to concerns about the long-term effects on a developing face, ethical considerations, and ensuring young people are making informed decisions.
Developmental Concerns:
– Under the age of 18, your face is still developing. Injectables like dermal fillers could interfere with this natural process, leading to unintended results or complications as your face continues to mature.
Ethical and Psychological Considerations:
– There is concern about body image and self-esteem issues in young people, and regulators want to ensure that young individuals are not making impulsive decisions that could affect their appearance permanently.
Parental Consent:
– Even with parental consent, clinics will not perform these procedures on individuals under 18 unless it’s medically necessary.
Photo id:
– If you look under the age of 25 years old or we are in doubt we will request photographic ID to confirm your age.
