Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis): understand and act, in Geneva
Underarms soaked by mid-morning, clammy hands that get in the way: when sweating goes well beyond simple discomfort, it is called hyperhidrosis. And there are medical answers.
When sweating becomes a burden
Sweating is normal and useful: it is how the body regulates itself. We speak of hyperhidrosis when production far exceeds that need, to the point of affecting social or working life, often on the underarms, hands or feet.
It is not a question of hygiene. It is a common trait, sometimes running in families, that can be assessed by a doctor.
An answer by indication
Depending on the area and intensity, a doctor can propose different approaches. Injections that reduce the activity of the sweat glands are a known option for certain areas, always by indication and after an examination.
We present this by indication, without a product name: it is the doctor who decides what suits you. We point you to a partner clinic for an assessment.
