Hyperhidrosis, in simple terms, can be defined as overly active sweat glands stimulated by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system which is responsible for releasing perspiration throughout the body. This is the body's natural method of cooling itself down during active periods (such as exercise) or exposure to warm conditions. A person with hyperhidrosis experiences uncontrolled sweating and/or blushing. Those who suffer from this condition are faced with major challenges every day.

First Impressions Count!!
 During everyday life people quite often encounter others and are expected to interact socially. A handshake or brief conversation can seem relatively harmless, but in essence provides a firm first impression of another person.

Often people are judged based on a first impression. A cold, wet, clammy handshake can sometimes be perceived as a sign of insecurity or uneasiness. Excessive and uncontrollable facial sweating or blushing may make a person appear to be nervous or a bit suspicious. This can be very detrimental during a job interview or important meeting. Ultimately, this can even hinder one's career path or relationship status. 

Individuals suffering from hyperhidrosis/facial blushing are often labeled antisocial or even reclusive. Fortunately, today, thanks to the American Institute for Hyperhidrosis, these obstacles can be overcome with a 98% success rate by our newest and latest ETS technique being performed by our surgeons.
