What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a medical condition characterised by abnormally heavy perspiration not necessarily related to heat or physical activity. While sweating is a natural bodily function, those with hyperhidrosis experience it in a way that disrupts daily life and can cause emotional distress.

- Improved Confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in social situations and professional settings.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Participate in daily activities without worry or self-consciousness about excessive sweating.
- Reduced Anxiety: Reduce anxiety and stress related to hyperhidrosis symptoms.
