Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating, even without intense physical activity or heat. It can be localized—such as in the underarms, hands, or feet—or more generalized. This condition can lead to social discomfort and skin-related issues.
Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands are overstimulated by the nervous system. It may be linked to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, infections, or emotional triggers such as stress and anxiety. In some cases, hyperhidrosis is primary (with no identifiable cause), but it can also be secondary to underlying medical conditions.
Primary hyperhidrosis: excessive sweating with no identifiable medical cause.
Secondary hyperhidrosis: associated with an underlying medical condition or the use of certain medications.
Botulinum toxin treatment temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands. By injecting the toxin into targeted areas—such as the underarms, hands, or feet—we can significantly reduce sweat production, providing long-lasting relief from hyperhidrosis.
This fractional radiofrequency treatment, used in combination with botulinum toxin, helps tighten and tone the skin in affected areas while also reducing the sweat glands responsible for hyperhidrosis. It can be especially useful for treating zones that respond less effectively to botulinum toxin alone.
During your first visit, we conduct a thorough assessment to better understand the extent of your hyperhidrosis and how it affects your daily life. This consultation includes a discussion of your medical history, lifestyle habits, and any treatments you may have already tried.
With their expertise as specialized nurse practitioners in primary care, Vicky and Kim are able to provide a more precise diagnosis and ensure that no underlying medical condition is contributing to your symptoms. If needed, they may recommend further testing to rule out hormonal imbalances or other factors influencing excessive sweating. This comprehensive approach allows them to tailor the treatment safely and effectively to your specific situation.
Once this assessment is complete, we work together to create a personalized treatment plan. In most cases, this involves injecting botulinum toxin into the affected areas—such as the underarms, hands, feet, or scalp. We’ll take the time to explain the treatment protocol, expected results, duration of effectiveness, and the number of sessions needed to maintain optimal comfort.
We believe in a personalized medical-aesthetic approach focused on skin health and balance. Every skin and every face is unique, and our goal is to provide tailored treatments that respect your natural features and specific needs..
