Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. This excessive sweating can occur in various parts of the body, such as the hands, feet, underarms, and face, and can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

What Causes Hyperhidrosis?
Several factors can contribute to hyperhidrosis, including:
- Primary Hyperhidrosis: Often hereditary, with no underlying medical condition.
- Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Caused by underlying health issues such as diabetes, thyroid problems, or infections.
- Medications: Certain medications can trigger excessive sweating as a side effect.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those occurring during menopause, can cause increased sweating.
Characteristics of Hyperhidrosis:
- Excessive Sweating: Sweat is produced in amounts far greater than normal, even without physical exertion or heat.
- Common Areas Affected: Palms, soles, underarms, and face are the most commonly affected areas.
- Impact on Daily Life: The condition can cause discomfort, embarrassment, and social anxiety.
How Can You Treat Hyperhidrosis?
There are various treatments available to manage and reduce excessive sweating. Here is an overview of common treatments:
- Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Topical Antiperspirants: Strong antiperspirants containing aluminium chloride can help reduce sweating.
- Iontophoresis: A procedure that uses electrical currents to temporarily block sweat glands.
- Botox Injections: Botulinum toxin injections can temporarily block the nerves that cause sweating and are very effective.
- Oral Medications: Anticholinergic drugs can reduce sweating by blocking certain neurotransmitters.

The staff at the Clinic are all very helpful and professional. I am grateful to the team for spotting changes to a couple of moles since my previous mole mapping which I was advised to have removed. This was done very efficiently by Mr Jonathan Dunne. One of which was actually a melanoma in situ so I’m very lucky to have visited you!
Thank you
Thank you
I have now had two visits to the Montrose Mole Mapping clinic. Both were wonderful experiences and I recommend others visiting
The mole mapping service and the clinic as a whole has been incredible to work with! Super thorough but efficient process for identifying and monitoring moles over time, and it takes the constant guesswork away for someone who has many moles to keep track of. Very seamless process with my insurance provider as well. Would highly recommend Montrose!
Super helpful dr and receptionist - beautiful flowers too!
Incredible pregnancy-safe facial. I had the Hydra Facial and everything was explained throughly and it was extremely relaxing too. Highly recommend.
Quite a disappointing experience. I had booked a 30 minute appointment for 12:30 and had to ask the receptionist at 12:45 regarding the delay who’s assured me that the doctor would not be much longer. Proactivity from the receptionist would have been courteous. I was finally taken in by the doctor at 12:50 who was lovely.
Overall a disappointing experience, sterile and cold enough environment made bearable only by the maximalist decor. No serenity as portrayed in marketing features ie. Lack of music As a director within a private healthcare setting, very poor customer experience and not one I will be recommending to our own clientele.
I was advised if unhappy with results in 2 weeks to come back for a top up but work restrictions meant I did not attend for 4 weeks but was told that this was chargeable: disappointing again with lack of appreciation or flexibility for working professionals. No follow up provided or courtesy call as is often given at alternative aesthetic clinics.

Stunning clinic, brilliant care.
