What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond the body’s normal physiological needs. While sweating is a natural way for the body to regulate temperature, individuals with hyperhidrosis sweat excessively even in cool conditions or when at rest. This can lead to discomfort, embarrassment, and difficulties in both personal and professional settings. Fortunately, several treatment options are available to help manage this condition.
What Causes Hyperhidrosis?
The causes of hyperhidrosis can be broadly classified into two categories–primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis occurs without an underlying medical condition and is often linked to genetic factors that cause the sweat glands to become overactive. It typically affects specific areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face.
Secondary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, is associated with other health issues or conditions, such as hormonal imbalances, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or infections. This type of hyperhidrosis can lead to excessive sweating throughout the body and often signals an underlying health concern that needs to be addressed. Understanding these causes is crucial for determining the most effective treatment approach and managing the condition effectively.
Hyperhidrosis Treatments
Discover how tailored treatments at Vital Clinic & Spa can help you manage excessive sweating and regain your confidence. Our treatments for hyperhidrosis include:
- Injectable Neurotoxins
Botox® and Xeomin® are neuromodulators that work by blocking the nerve signals responsible for triggering excessive sweating. These injections temporarily reduce activity in the sweat glands, helping to prevent the overproduction of sweat in the treated areas. Botox® and Xeomin® are commonly used to treat underarm sweating but can also be applied to the hands, feet, and face.
Downtime: Minimal. You can resume regular activities immediately after treatment.
Post-Treatment Care: Avoid exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours after treatment. Results can take up to two weeks to fully develop, and the effects typically last 3-6 months.

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to deeply penetrate the skin, tightening tissue and reducing sweat gland activity. This minimally invasive treatment helps control hyperhidrosis by addressing the root cause of excessive sweating while also improving skin texture and reducing pore size.
Downtime: Mild redness and swelling for 1-3 days post-treatment.
Post-Treatment Care: Avoid sun exposure, use gentle skincare products, and apply sunscreen daily to maintain results.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) is a prescription-strength antiperspirant that works by creating a temporary plug within the sweat ducts, significantly reducing sweat production in the treated areas. To achieve optimal results, Drysol must be applied to clean, dry skin overnight for 6-8 hours, then washed off in the morning. This treatment is particularly effective for managing excessive sweating in areas like the underarms, hands, and feet, providing relief throughout the day.

Outstanding customer service is a rare commodity now and days. When it is encountered, it should be acknowledged. I would like to single out Meena at Vital Clinic and Spa as such an example. She proved on several occasions the level of dedication and integrity that we could only hope to be fortunate to encounter once in a while. I found that Vital fosters this level of dedication within their group. I am glad to be one of their patients.

I took my teen daughter to Vital Clinic and Spa to get a facial and Jennifer was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and immediately felt her face smoother right after. We were both very pleased with the results. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond by providing tips on how to properly clean and take care of your face. We look forward in visiting again. Thank you for the great service Jennifer!
