About Excessive Sweating
Sweating is a natural function of the body and is essential to controlling your body temperature. As water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin is naturally cooled.
If you find yourself suffering from excessive sweat and odour under your arms, you may suffer from a common condition called hyperhidrosis. The actual cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, however, it seems to be related to malfunctioning sweat glands.
Our team at Derm.ca Laser & Esthetics has been highly successful in using revolutionary treatments to help patients permanently eliminate excessive sweating.
What causes hyperhidrosis?
Excessive sweating is a medical condition called hyperhidrosis and affects close to 1 million Canadians.
When left untreated, it can cripple your ability to have a normal life. The onset of excessive sweating unexpectedly happens anytime and anywhere, whether you are hot or cold.
The cause is not known, however, the root of the problem stems from the sweat glands producing much more sweat than that required to keep the body at a normal temperature.
Although sweating is a natural bodily function required to manage body temperature, excessive sweating is not.
