Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can affect confidence considerably, whether it shows up in the underarms, palms, soles or face.
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can affect confidence considerably, whether it shows up in the underarms, palms, soles or face, often regardless of temperature or activity level. Dr Sateei offers a well-established, non-surgical treatment option for those affected.
Primary focal hyperhidrosis occurs when sweat glands in specific areas, most often the underarms, are overactive independent of temperature or exertion, often beginning in adolescence with a genetic link. Secondary hyperhidrosis can relate to an underlying condition, medication or hormonal changes, and stress can trigger or worsen episodes.
Sweating noticeably more than expected for the temperature or activity level, often soaking through clothing. Episodes can be triggered by heat, exercise, spicy food or stress, or occur with no clear trigger.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a well-established, evidence-based treatment for focal hyperhidrosis, most commonly used in the underarm area, blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands and significantly reducing sweat production for several months. Dr Sateei will discuss your specific pattern of sweating to determine whether treatment is likely to be suitable.
Over two decades of experience and a subtle, natural-looking ethos are essential in this delicate area. Every plan is tailored to your specific cause, with ethical prescribing central to her London (near Harley Street) and Sevenoaks practice.
