We all sweat. It’s a normal and necessary function that helps regulate body temperature. But if you find yourself constantly worrying about sweat marks, changing clothes multiple times a day, or avoiding handshakes, you may be dealing with something more than just everyday sweating. 
 
At Persona, our medical team often see clients who have been living with excessive sweating for years without realising it has a name: Hyperhidrosis. 

What is Hyperhidrosis?

What is Hyperhidrosis? 
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where the body sweats far more than it needs to.
 
This can happen even when you’re not hot, stressed or exercising.
 
It commonly affects areas like the underarms, hands, feet and face; and it often interferes with daily life. 
What is Hyperhidrosis?

An effective solution:

Signs you might have Hyperhidrosis: 
  • You sweat through clothing shortly after getting dressed
  • You avoid certain colours or fabrics to hide sweat marks
  • You need to carry extra clothing or antiperspirant with you
  • You feel anxious about social situations because of sweating 
  • You notice sweat dripping from your hands or face, even at rest

 

An effective solution: You don’t have to live with constant sweating. At Persona, we offer Botox injections for Hyperhidrosis, a clinically proven treatment that works by temporarily blocking the nerves that trigger sweat glands. Results typically last 4-6 months and can make a huge difference in your day to day comfort and confidence!
