Hyperhidrosis Treatment

“I’m glad I found Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa to do my treatment. Now I don’t have to worry about sweating through my shirts!”

Hyperhidrosis affects over 15 million people in the U.S. Common areas include the armpits, hands, feet, and facial area. At Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa, we offer several different treatment options, including laser-based treatments or BOTOX injections, to treat excessive sweating, aka hyperhidrosis.

What is
Hyperhidrosis Treatment

If you struggle with feeling confident even in normal, low-key situations because you know your sweat glands will overreact, you’re not alone. Although other treatments for hyperhidrosis exist, ranging from prescription antiperspirants to BOTOX® injections, laser-based hyperhidrosis treatments may also provide a more permanent solution to excessive sweating.

Although sweating is a normal and necessary function of the human body, some men and women notice that their sweat glands are constantly overproducing moisture. This can lead to personal and professional embarrassment, especially if the symptoms of hyperhidrosis fail to respond to other treatments. The best candidates for hyperhidrosis treatment are men or women who experience high stress, physical discomfort, or other anxiety related to excessive sweating.
