Condition Overview

What is HYPERHIDROSIS?

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is needed for normal temperature regulation. While it can affect people of all ages, it often begins during adolescence or early adulthood. The condition ranges from mild dampness to severe sweating that soaks through clothing, significantly impacting daily life and confidence.

At Dermasurge, we specialize in diagnosing the underlying causes of hyperhidrosis and providing advanced treatment solutions. Dr. Hiba Injibar, a renowned dermatologist, combines her expertise with innovative therapies to help patients manage excessive sweating and improve their quality of life.

Symptoms

  • Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond normal physiological needs.
  • It typically affects palmssolesunderarms, or face, often occurring symmetrically on both sides.
  • Overactive sweat glands cause persistent dampness regardless of temperature or physical activity level.
  • Stressheat, or certain foods can trigger or worsen sweating episodes.
  • Eccrine gland dysfunction leads to uncontrolled sweat production independent of thermoregulation.
  • Severity ranges from mild (noticeable dampness) to severe (dripping sweat that soaks clothing).

causes

Hyperhidrosis develops when the body’s sweat production exceeds normal thermoregulation needs. While the exact mechanisms vary, several factors contribute to excessive sweating. Understanding these causes helps tailor effective treatment approaches.

Overactive Nervous System
The sympathetic nervous system becomes hyperactive, sending excessive signals to sweat glands regardless of temperature needs.

Genetic Predisposition
Many patients inherit a tendency for hyperhidrosis, with family history present in 30-50% of cases.

Medical Conditions
Thyroid disorders, diabetes, or neurological conditions can trigger secondary hyperhidrosis symptoms.

Emotional Triggers
Stress and anxiety stimulate adrenaline, which activates sweat glands beyond normal levels.

Professional Treatments

Botox Injections effectively block nerve signals to sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating for 6-12 months per treatment.

Iontophoresis uses mild electrical currents during water immersion to temporarily disable overactive sweat glands in hands and feet.

Prescription Antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride provide strong, clinical-strength sweat reduction when applied regularly.

Microwave Thermolysis permanently destroys sweat glands through controlled thermal energy, offering lasting results for underarm hyperhidrosis.

Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
