Excessive Sweating
Excessive Sweating
excessive sweating
Perspiration is a natural response when our body temperature increases (whether that’s due to our environment, exercise or illness). Some people experience this kind of excessive sweating without stimuli. This is a condition known as hyperhidrosis that can affect the armpits, hands, feet and face. It’s a relatively common condition that impacts everyday life causing embarrassment, stress and anxiety.
What are the causes of Excessive Sweating?
Sweating mainly occurs on your feet, hands, face, head, and underarms. It usually starts in childhood. About 30 to 50 percent of people with this type have a family history of excessive sweating.
Primary focal hyperhidrosis
Your genetics can also determine whether or not you develop jowls and how noticeable they become over time. If either of your parents has jowls, you’re more likely to develop them. If you naturally have thin skin or limited amounts of collagen and elastin in your skin, you may start to notice jowls early in life. It’s possible to develop jowls as early as your teens or twenties.
Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis
Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is sweating caused by a medical condition or as a side effect of certain medications. It generally starts in adulthood. With this type, you might sweat all over your body, or in just one area. You might also sweat while you’re sleeping.
HOW IS THIS TREATED?
Botulinum (anti-wrinkle injections) helps reduce excessive sweating. When severe sweating gets in the way of daily activities and antiperspirants are not working, you may be a suitable candidate for the Botulinum toxin treatment. The body areas that can be affected include the underarms, palms, feet and forehead. Botulinum toxin is approved by the FDA to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating when topical medicines do not work well enough. Botulinum toxin is injected into the affected areas to help control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands do not receive chemical signals, the severe sweating settles.

Frown Lines
Frown lines are vertical lines between and above your eyebrow that are the result of frowning and ageing skin. Similar to forehead lines, as we age these frown lines become more prominent
Wide Jaw
A wide jaw in women can be seen as a masculine or unattractive trait, manifesting as a large, square lower jaw. This condition is caused by bone, muscle, or a mixture of the two. The most obvious cause is a large jaw bone, or mandible, which is usually congenital but can develop through conditions such as acromegaly
Crows Feet
Crow's feet are wrinkles etched in the corner of the eye. Unlike wrinkles or expression lines on other areas of the face, crow's feet can appear to look deeper or more pronounced on the skin. As the elasticity of the skin around this thin layer diminishes the skin is unable to bounce back to its original state
Gummy Smile
A Gummy Smile is when some people smile, their upper lip elevates far above their upper teeth, exposing the gums. This happens due to several causes.
Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching (also called bruxism) are often related to stress or anxiety. It does not always cause symptoms, but some people get facial pain and headaches, and it can wear down your teeth over time.
