Sweating is a highly natural and healthy process that allows your body to maintain its temperature. However, some people tend to sweat excessively, and at times it can become a problem for them. It is usually due to overactive sweat glands, and this condition is known as hyperhidrosis. Generally, oral medications or clinical procedures, like Botox, help in treating excessive sweating. But these treatments only provide temporary relief from this embarrassing condition. Laser Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Dubai is an effective treatment that allows more permanent results for getting rid of over-sweating. It is similar to any other laser treatment and is minimally invasive.
Earlier it was believed that there is no permanent cure for overactive sweat glands apart from surgery. However, this notion has changed with the arrival of laser treatments. Nowadays, different laser treatments, such as the Fotona Laser, are used for effectively treating hyperhidrosis. It is beneficial for excessive underarm sweating.

Hyperhidrosis Treatment FAQs
There are several causes of hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis is caused when the nerves responsible for signaling sweat glands become overactive. It becomes worse due to stress and nervousness. Secondary hyperhidrosis occurs due to medical conditions and is less common. It is usually caused due to diabetes, menopause, thyroid, low blood sugar, cardiac problems, infections, nervous system disorders, etc. Different treatments are available for treating hyperhidrosis. However, not all of them provide permanent results. Laser Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Dubai can help you get rid of excessive sweating permanently. The Nd:YAG laser beam used for Laser Hair Removal or hair bleaching is also used for hyperhidrosis treatment. But the key to the success of the procedure lies in the selection of the wavelength. Generally, a fixed combination of 924 nm and 975 nm continuous wave laser energy is used for treating hyperhidrosis. There is some pain involved since there is some invasiveness in this treatment. However, it is countered with the help of local anesthesia that is administered before starting the treatment. The patient feels nothing during the procedure because the treatment area is numbed. There is no fixed cost of Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Dubai. The final cost usually depends on a number of factors such as the clinic’s geographical location and reputation, doctor’s expertise, size of the treatment area, laser machine uses, the technique used, etc. The doctor determines the final cost during the initial consultation.What causes hyperhidrosis?
