    What is the Fab Clinic Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

    Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It is most commonly associated with the axilla (armpit), but it can affect other parts of the body too. If you’re sick of embarrassing sweat patches and want a hyperhidrosis treatment, toxins for hyperhidrosis may be the answer.

    What causes excessive sweating?

    Excessive sweating can be due to a variety of reasons and the most common reason is the genetic predisposition. Apart from that secondary causes like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

    Hyperhidrosis can be classified into two types mainly:

    • Primary hyperhidrosis:Most of the people have a genetic inclination for hyperhidrosis and include 30-50% of the affected population. In the majority of these patients, the cause is unknown.
    • Secondary hyperhidrosis:The condition may also arise due to an underlying health condition. The most common diseases causing excessive sweating include hyperthyroidism, obesity, adrenal gland disorders, and Parkinson’s disease.

    Toxin injections are used to treat Hyperhidrosis. The best treatment for secondary hyperhidrosis is to treat the underlying cause, which will normally reduce the excessive sweating, if that is not possible e.g. in Parkinson’s disease, toxins can be used to improve the excessive sweating.

    If you have new hyperhidrosis we recommend that you seek advice you’re your GP in first instance so that causes of secondary hyperhidrosis can be ruled out.

    All cosmetic injections are strictly administered by highly experienced and qualified advanced aesthetics staff or GMC-registered doctors at FAB Clinic.
