Concerns it addresses
What excessive sweating treatment treats
Primary hyperhidrosis is far more common than many people realise, affecting around one in twenty. It usually starts in adolescence and shows up symmetrically in specific areas, and a single appointment at Wimpole Street is enough to assess it.
Hyperhidrosis is a recognised medical condition, and a prescriber at Regents Park Aesthetics can talk you through every option.
One short consultation is a positive first step, especially for anyone who has managed it quietly for years.

Frequently asked questions
Sweating substantially beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in adolescence, affects specific areas symmetrically, and affects around one in twenty people.
Apply it at night, to completely dry skin, which is when sweat glands are least active. Clinical-strength antiperspirant works far better that way than in the morning on damp skin.
