Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day. Excessive sweating, known as Hyperhydrosis is a medical condition that can affect up to 1.5 Million people in UK & Ireland alone. Unlike normal perspiration which is produced when the body is hot, Hyperhydrosis is characterised by the excessive production of sweat, even when the body is cool.
