Consultations for Excessive Sweating Concerns Sydney
Excessive sweating is medically known as hyperhidrosis.
There are various options available to address concerns related to excessive sweating. During a personalised consultation, we’ll recommend an approach tailored to your individual goals and needs.
Understanding Excessive Sweating: More Than a Comfort Issue
Excessive sweating can significantly challenge daily life, making it difficult to remain dry and free from odour.
Individuals facing this issue may frequently change clothes and opt for materials that better conceal sweat breakthroughs.
Moreover, the condition can intensify body odour.
However, it’s crucial to recognise that excessive sweating isn’t just a matter of discomfort or aesthetics—it could also signal underlying health concerns such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or infections.
At Form & Face Clinic, addressing excessive sweating isn’t solely about managing the related discomfort; we also prioritise identifying any potential medical causes behind the condition.
Why does excessive sweating occur?
Your body’s sympathetic nervous system uses sweat like a thermostat.
When your body temperature rises too high, the sympathetic nervous system sends a “production order” from the brain to the millions of sweat glands in your body.
As the sweat comes to the surface, it cools your skin, reducing body temperature.
Sometimes, your body’s natural cooling system can malfunction, and your brain may signal the sweat glands to produce sweat even when the body’s temperature is not elevated.
This can cause excessive sweating.
However, most cases of excessive sweating are harmless and are caused by everyday factors, such as:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Excess body weight
- Stress (job interviews, dating, meetings, public speaking)
- Medications
