HYPERHYDROSIS OR EXCESSIVE SWEATING

Sweating is necessary to control body temperature during times of exercise and
arm/hot surroundings. In some individuals, this natural process of perspiration is more
than normal on the face, armpits, head and hands. In rare cases the whole body gets
affected. This excessive perspiration is known as Hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a
condition in which the sympathetic nervous system does not shuts off the sweat reflex
properly.

Hyperhydrosis is not dangerous in any way to the health. Although this type of profuse
sweating doesn't has any life-threatening consequences but people who suffer with
Hyperhidrosis are reluctant to share a hug, to dance, to play cards, to get close. Even
something as simple as a handshake can be embarrassing.

A simple and effective treatment for excessive sweating involves a few injections into
the skin where the sweating is greatest to block the action of nerves that supply the
sweat glands, and stop the glands from producing sweat.

The procedures are classified as medical treatments and are therefore exempt from VAT.

If you suffer with Hyperhidrosis, it's time to change your life.
