Take Back Control with Effective Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Targeting Excessive Sweating So You Can Live

Confidently and Comfortably

Excessive sweating—known as hyperhidrosis—can affect daily life, causing discomfort, emotional distress, and social anxiety. At Dermatology & Skin Care Associates, we provide personalized, evidence-based treatments to stop excess sweating at its source and help you feel confident in every moment.

What Causes Hyperhidrosis?

Primary Hyperhidrosis: Often hereditary, this type stems from overactive sweat glands without a known underlying medical issue.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Linked to medical conditions (like thyroid disorders), medications, hormonal changes, or systemic illness—often involves widespread sweating

How Is Hyperhidrosis Diagnosed?

Our dermatologists assess your medical history and conduct a physical exam to understand the frequency, triggers, and severity of your sweating. In some cases, we may order additional tests to rule out underlying causes or to differentiate primary from secondary hyperhidrosis

Your Treatment Options

Clinical-Strength Antiperspirants
First-line therapy using aluminum chloride; effective for mild to moderate cases.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why was hyperhidrosis treatment recommended for me?

Hyperhidrosis treatment is recommended when excessive sweating interferes with daily life, work, or social activities. Treatments aim to reduce sweating, improve comfort, and restore confidence, tailored to the severity and location of your symptoms.

How do I know if I really have hyperhidrosis?

A dermatologist diagnoses hyperhidrosis through your medical history, physical exam, and sometimes sweat tests. It’s important to rule out underlying conditions like thyroid issues or medications that may cause excessive sweating.
