Hyperhidrosis
Living in a warm climate like ours in Bunbury and Busselton, sweating is often unavoidable. While sweating is a natural part of the body’s cooling system, excessive sweating can become uncomfortable and even embarrassing.
At New You Aesthetics, we see clients from all walks of life—from tradies and miners to teachers, trainers, sports players, and professionals working in the public eye—seeking solutions for sweat-related concerns.
Understanding Hyperhidrosis
For some, sweating isn’t just a seasonal inconvenience; it’s a persistent problem that affects their daily lives. Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can occur even in cool weather and often impacts areas like the armpits, hands, feet, and head.
If you’ve ever raised your arm only to discover a soaked shirt under your armpit, you’ll understand how challenging this can be. For those with hyperhidrosis, this isn’t an occasional mishap—it’s a daily struggle.
It can affect confidence at work, during social interactions, and even in personal moments like a first date.
Stress and anxiety can exacerbate hyperhidrosis, particularly during high-pressure situations such as public speaking, giving a presentation, or meeting new people. These moments can trigger sweat glands to go into overdrive, creating further discomfort.
Treatment Options and Limitations
While sweating plays an essential role in regulating body temperature, we can safely target specific problem areas to reduce excessive sweating. Some of the most common areas our clients seek help with include:
- Underarms
- Back of the neck
- Under the breasts (a lifesaver for many women)
These treatments can be transformative for those dealing with chronic sweating, helping them feel more comfortable and confident in their daily lives.
It’s worth noting that the impressions we leave on others can last far longer than the sweat itself.
