If you identified with two or more of these signs, you likely have clinical hyperhidrosis. Neuromodulator treatment offers a simple, highly effective solution.

The Science

Why You Sweat Excessively

Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sympathetic nervous system overstimulates sweat glands far beyond what is needed for temperature regulation.

1

Overactive Sweat Glands

In hyperhidrosis, eccrine sweat glands are triggered by nerve signals that are disproportionate to the body's actual cooling needs.

2

Sympathetic Nerve Overactivity

The sympathetic nervous system sends excessive signals to sweat glands, particularly in the underarms, palms, and soles.

3

Genetic Component

Primary hyperhidrosis runs in families. If a parent has it, you have a significantly higher chance of developing it.

4

Stress & Anxiety Triggers

Emotional stress amplifies sweating in hyperhidrosis patients, creating a vicious cycle of sweating and anxiety.

FAQ

Hyperhidrosis Q&A

Underarm treatment takes about 15-20 minutes. Palms and soles take slightly longer due to the nerve block anesthesia. You can return to normal activities immediately.
Underarm injections feel like tiny pinpricks and are very tolerable. For palms and soles, we use a nerve block to ensure comfort, as these areas are more sensitive.
Compensatory sweating is rare with localized neuromodulator treatment. Unlike surgical sympathectomy, this treatment only affects the specific injection sites.
Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 3-5 days, with full effect reached by 2 weeks after treatment.
Some extended health plans cover neuromodulator treatment for diagnosed hyperhidrosis. We provide documentation to support your insurance claim.
