Primary focal hyperhidrosis is the most common type and affects the hands, soles of the feet and armpits (in some cases the face). There is no known specific cause for this disorder but it is associated with a hereditary factor.
Normal sweating occurs to allow the body to cool down and regulate body temperature. It is generated when we are exposed to high temperatures, during physical exercise and in stressful situations. In the case of hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating occurs without the need for these triggers. Stress and nervousness can worsen the situation.
People with hyperhidrosis may need to change their clothes several times a day and are often restricted to choosing specific colours so that sweat patches are not visible. These constraints end up having an impact on the person's emotional state, with many moments of embarrassment, anxiety and distress.
It is applied in the practice quickly and lasts for a long period of time.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
What care should I take after the session?
- You will need to avoid exposing your hands to the sun and local heat. That is, avoid cooking on that day, do not put your hands near a heater or any heat source.
When is the best time to do this treatment?
- Ideally in autumn and winter, however it is easier to protect the hands from the sun and some sessions can be held in spring.
Can I notice an improvement with one session?
- Yes, but the intensity of the treatments will be progressive and so will the results.
The progressive intensity of the treatments is due to the fact that the skin on the hands is very thin and an IPL with a lot of energy or a peel with more exposure to acid could cause burns on the skin.
Do wrinkles on the hands disappear?
- The wrinkles on the hands will smooth out as the sessions are carried out. Restoring the smoothness of the skin will depend on the number of sessions we carry out.
