Excessive sweating – hyperhydrosis is a medical condition we treat in both Manhattan and Brooklyn locations.

People sweat in different situations, different weather in all seasons of the year.

Causes of Excessive Sweating

• Central nervous system stimulation of sweat glands
• Stress
• Social events like giving a lecture or public speaking
• Intensive physical exercise
• Hot and humid weather

Sweat glands in normal conditions are regulators of heat in the body. In this medical condition they are overproductive and release an excessive amount of sweat. Sweat reacts with bacteria causing unpleasant odor. Excessive Sweat is seen on the armpits of wet shirts, wet palms and face.

The glands are stimulated by the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine. Botox is used to block Acetylcholine and prevent excessive sweating.

Drying starts the next day and lasts a week, after that excessive sweating is blocked for 7-8 months. Some individuals happily find the dryness lasts for 9-11 months.
