Excessive sweating – or hyperhidrosis – can have a serious affect on a sufferer’s working and social life and many people simply avoid doing things they would otherwise love to do because they are too embarrassed about their sweating.

There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:

• Focal hyperhidrosis is the more common type and involves excessive sweating of the hands, feet and underarms.
• Generalised hyperhidrosis is much less common and affects the whole body. It is usually caused by another illness like diabetes, an underactive thyroid or an infection.

Wrinkle injections have been used as an effective treatment for excessive sweating / hyperhidrosis since 1994.

Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is when your body produces an increased and non-physiological amount of sweat. The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) grades excessive sweating according to how it affects your life;

• Grade 1: My sweating /perspiration is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily activities
• Grade 2: My sweating is tolerable but sometimes interferes with my daily activities
• Grade 3: My sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activities
• Grade 4: My sweating is intolerable and always interferes with my daily activities

The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale is a great diagnostic tool to measure of the severity of your condition.

A score of grade 2 indicates that you may be suffering from mild or moderate hyperhidrosis but grades 3 to 4 indicates severe hyperhidrosis and a perfect candidate for treatment.
