Hyperhydrosis is a condition in which a person sweats too much. Perspiring is a natural process that helps to keep your body cool and regulate body temperature. Experiencing some sweat during the day is to be expected, so how do you know if you have hyperhydrosis and need help with how to stop excessive sweating? Some signs of the condition are:
Hyperhidrosis is a chronic condition, so the frequency and duration of the excessive sweating should also be considered.
Dr. Llewellyn offers several excessive sweating treatment options for hyperhidrosis that you can discuss during the consultation. Once you decide which approach works best for you, we can provide information about the cost of each method to stop excessive sweating. Payment can be made by cash or major credit cards, and you can find out more on our financing page or by contacting us.
Hyperhidrosis may be caused by certain medical conditions, so you should be evaluated by Dr. Llewellyn if you feel self-conscious about how much you sweat. He reviews your medical history and personal experiences to determine if you have primary hyperhidrosis, meaning that your sweating is not secondary to a medical problem or secondary hyperhidrosis and is associated with a medial issue that may need to be addressed to resolve your excessive sweating.
Treatment for your hyperhidrosis will depend upon the cause of your hyperhydrosis. You can reduce excessive sweating with safe and comfortable Botox® injections if you do not have an underlying medical condition. The injections affect the way your body releases sweat so that you experience a more normal level of perspiration in every environment. Dr. Llewellyn explains the treatment during the consultation. Dr. Llewellyn may also recommend prescription antiperspirants, medications, lifestyle changes, and other ways to better manage your sweat.
