Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Physician-Led Care at RK Medical Aesthetics
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be embarrassing, uncomfortable, and can seriously affect your confidence. Most commonly treated areas include the underarms and hands, and excessive sweating can interfere with daily activities, comfort, and the ability to perform at work or in social situations.
At RK Medical Aesthetics, we offer safe, effective, and personalized treatments to help reduce excessive sweating and restore comfort and confidence in your day-to-day life.
What Causes Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)?
Hyperhidrosis can develop for different reasons. Primary focal hyperhidrosis often runs in families and typically begins in childhood or adolescence, causing localized sweating in specific areas. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying condition or medication and tends to affect larger areas of the body.
- Genetic predisposition and family history
- Underlying conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, or menopause
- Medication side effects
- Anxiety and stress
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Dietary triggers including spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol
Common Types & Areas Affected
Underarm Sweating Treatment
Excessive underarm sweating is one of the most common and frustrating forms of hyperhidrosis. It can cause visible sweat stains, discomfort, and self consciousness, affecting everything from your clothing choices to your confidence in social and professional situations.
Sweaty Hands (Palmar Hyperhidrosis)
Excessively sweaty palms can make everyday tasks like shaking hands, writing, or using a phone difficult and uncomfortable. This condition can lead to significant social anxiety and affect your confidence at work and in personal situations.
Face and Scalp Sweating (Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis)
Excessive sweating on the face and scalp is highly visible and can be especially frustrating, causing makeup to smudge, hair to become damp, and general discomfort throughout the day. Our team offers targeted treatments to help manage this condition.
