subject: Eliminate Excessive Sweating With Miradry [print this page] We all sweat, but sometimes excessive sweating can be a problem. How do you know when sweat is normal and when it is not? The amount of sweat considered normal is variable and depends on the demands of the body. People may sweat less than a liter, or up to several liters a day, based on what they are doing. If you are exercising or doing manual labor in a hot climate, expect to sweat a lot - it's normal. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, on the other hand may require medical attention from AesthetiCare, including treatment with MiraDry.
What is Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)?
Excessive sweating is also referred to as hyperhidrosis, which means that you sweat more than your body needs you to sweat. For instance, if you sweat while sitting calmly at your desk, it is considered excessive sweating. If you suffer from hyperhidrosis, your body's ability to cool itself is so overactive that it produces four or five times the amount of sweat that you need with approximately 3% of the population having excessive sweating.
Underarm problems tend to start around puberty, while palm and sole sweating may begin earlier, often during childhood. If untreated, these problems may continue throughout your life. Uncontrollable sweating is embarrassing, but with proper help from your dermatologist, excessive sweating can be maintained.
When Should You Visit AesthetiCare?
If you are concerned about your excessive sweating, visit AesthetiCare when experiencing the following symptoms:
*Does your underarm sweat make you feel embarrassed?
*Does underarm sweat interfere with your daily activities?

*Do you worry someone will notice your sweat stains?
*Do you change your clothes more than once a day due to underarm sweat?
*Do you wear fabrics, colors and styles of clothes that do not show sweat easily?
