About the Condition

Discover effective treatments to manage excessive sweating

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is characterised by an overproduction of sweat that can occur in various areas, most commonly underarms, palms, soles of the feet, or face. This condition can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort, embarrassment, and frequent outfit changes. While sweating is a natural process to cool the body, hyperhidrosis results in sweat levels beyond normal requirements, which may be linked to genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, or other health factors.

At Smooth Dimensions, we provide tailored solutions to reduce excessive sweating and help you regain confidence and comfort in social and professional settings.

Condition Causes

Common causes for excessive sweating

Excessive sweating can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary. In primary hyperhidrosis, sweat glands are overactive without a clear underlying cause, although genetic factors may play a role. Secondary hyperhidrosis may be triggered by certain medical conditions (such as hyperthyroidism or diabetes) or external factors like hormonal imbalances, medications, or stress. Environmental conditions such as high heat or humidity can exacerbate sweating episodes, and personal habits—like consuming spicy foods or caffeine—may also contribute to increased perspiration.

Understanding the root causes of excessive sweating is essential for selecting the most effective treatment strategy.
