What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that involves overactive sweat glands, which causes you to sweat excessively. As you might imagine, this can quickly become an embarrassing inconvenience that impacts your self-image, personal well-being, and how you spend your time.

Fortunately, several treatments can reduce hyperhidrosis sweating. For many people with hyperhidrosis, the greatest challenge is seeking medical help. This may be due to embarrassment or because they do not know that effective treatment exists.

What are my options for hyperhidrosis treatment?

Valencia Medical Center proudly offers the most advanced treatments to control your sweating and all of the difficulties that come with it. Hyperhidrosis responds well to:

MiraDry®

MiraDry is the only FDA-cleared treatment system that uses thermal energy to destroy overactive sweat glands without surgically removing them. The pain-free treatment can reduce your underarm sweating and odor permanently because the treated sweat glands never grow back.

Botox® injections

Botox, which is best known for treating wrinkles and fine lines, is an injectable neurotoxin that blocks the chemical nerve signals that activate your sweat glands. Botox temporarily reduces their function, but you can get repeated injections for long-term hyperhidrosis management.

Prescription antiperspirants, certain antidepressants, and surgical procedures can also reduce or eliminate sweating from hyperhidrosis.
