Understanding Excessive Sweating & How to Stop It.

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where your sweat glands produce far more sweat than your body needs for normal cooling. It most commonly affects the underarms, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and forehead—often soaking through clothing even when you are sitting in a cool, air-conditioned room.

This condition is not caused by poor hygiene or nervousness; it happens because the nerve signals that control your sweat glands are overactive. At 22 Luna, we offer quick, physician-administered neuromodulator (Botox) micro-treatments and radiofrequency therapies that temporarily calm overactive sweat signals, giving you 6 to 9+ months of complete dryness and restored confidence.

Prevalence & Context

Affects about 1 in 20 people worldwide, frequently causing frustration at work and in social situations.

Observation

Signs you may notice.

What people often experience when navigating this concern.

01Sweat visibly soaking through shirts or dresses within minutes of putting them on
02Excessive underarm sweating happening even at rest or in cool air conditioning
03Clammy, wet hands that cause embarrassment during handshakes, writing, or using a phone
04Foot sweating that damages shoes and makes feet slide inside footwear
05Carrying extra clothes or relying on heavy pads throughout your workday
Contributing Factors

Possible causes.

Concerns typically stem from a combination of internal and external factors.

01

Overactive Nerve Signals

Nerve pathways send continuous signals to sweat glands, keeping them constantly turned on.

02

Family Genetics

Over 65% of people with excessive sweating have a family member who experiences the same issue.

03

Stress & Social Triggers

Adrenaline spikes during meetings or social encounters further amplify sweat gland output.

04

Hormonal Fluctuations

Thyroid changes or hormonal shifts can occasionally worsen sweating episodes.

Professional Guidance

When should you seek advice?

Consultation is not about emergency; it is about replacing guesswork with an unhurried medical perspective.

When drugstore and clinical antiperspirants irritate your skin or fail to stop sweat patches
When sweating soaks through shirts and impairs your confidence at work, meetings, or parties
When sweaty palms make writing, shaking hands, or using touchscreens difficult
When you want a fast, non-surgical treatment that keeps you dry for months with zero downtime
Solution Pathways

Possible treatment options.

These procedures represent clinical pathways often recommended for this concern. During your consultation, we evaluate which single option or combined protocol is most appropriate for your skin biology.

Botox

Gentle micro-droplet injections temporarily block the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, keeping underarms or palms completely dry for 6–9 months.

Micro-Needling / Advanced RF

Targeted radiofrequency energy delivered into the sweat gland layer for long-term reduction in sweat activity.

Daily Habits

Prevention & daily care.

Simple, effective habits that support barrier resilience and maintain clinical progress.

01

Wear breathable, natural fabrics like cotton and linen that allow air to circulate freely

02

Apply clinical antiperspirants at night before bed when sweat glands are naturally resting

03

Cut back on very spicy foods and excessive caffeine, which stimulate sweat nerves

04

Use antibacterial body wash to prevent sweat from breaking down and causing odor

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct, transparent answers regarding hyperhidrosis.

How does Botox stop excessive sweating?

Botox temporarily blocks the chemical messenger (acetylcholine) that tells your sweat glands to produce sweat. When the glands do not receive the message, sweating stops in that area within 3 to 7 days.

Is underarm Botox treatment painful?

Will stopping underarm sweat make me sweat more in other places?
