Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Cyprus
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating. It can occur on any part of the body but is most common in the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. Excessive sweating does not only occur when someone is hot or during exercise but because of stress, social anxiety, and nervousness as well. Moreover, people with hyperhidrosis can sweat for no obvious reason.
Hyperhidrosis can be a nuisance, as it can cause excessive wetness and staining of clothing. It can also be embarrassing and make people self-conscious. Therefore, this condition can affect a person’s emotional state.

Results of excessive sweating treatment in Cyprus typically last for 6 – 7 months and then the treatment must be repeated. Of course, how long the results last depend on each individual.
