Axillary Hyperhidrosis Understanding Excessive Underarm Sweating

Excessive sweating, known medically as hyperhidrosis, occurs when the body produces more sweat than necessary to regulate temperature. When this affects the underarm region, it’s specifically termed axillary hyperhidrosis.

Sweat is produced by eccrine sweat glands, which are highly concentrated in the underarm area. Under normal conditions, sweat production serves the critical physiological function of temperature regulation, cooling the body through evaporation. However, for individuals experiencing axillary hyperhidrosis, these glands become overactive, resulting in persistent, excessive sweat production even when the body doesn’t require cooling.

The consequences of excessive underarm sweating often extend beyond simple physical discomfort. It can affect daily life by limiting clothing choices, leading individuals to prefer dark or layered garments to conceal noticeable sweat marks. Social interactions, including hugging, raising arms, or public speaking, may also become challenging.

Fortunately, targeted non-surgical hyperhidrosis treatments are available to manage excessive sweating effectively. Professional consultations at Contour Clinics involve careful evaluation of your individual physiology and lifestyle, allowing our cosmetic doctors to provide tailored recommendations to help reduce underarm sweating. Appropriate management can significantly improve your daily comfort, confidence, and overall quality of life.

Excessive Underarm Sweating Treatment Options

There are numerous methods available for keeping excessive hand sweating that can be discussed at your complimentary consultation with one of our doctors including:  

  • Antiperspirants
  • Medications: Your GP can discuss certain oral medications that may help the symptoms of hand sweating. This is a service not offered by Contour Clinics.  
  • Iontophoresis or ‘electro-antiperspirant’. This is a treatment delivered by a machine using electro current technology. Although it can temporarily cease sweating, it has also been known to increase sweating before reducing it, which can cause further inconvenience and discomfort. 
  • Treatments aimed at sweat gland blocking: Your Contour Clinics doctor can discuss this with you at your complimentary consultation.
