What is Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that results in excessive sweating. This sweating can occur in unusual situations, such as in cooler weather, or without any trigger at all. It can also be caused by other medical conditions, such as menopause or hyperthyroidism.
As many as 3 in every 100 Australians (720,000) and an estimated 350 million plus individuals worldwide suffer from excessive sweating, which is also known as hyperhidrosis.
Primary focal hyperhidrosis
This is the most common form with no underlying disease. It typically affects specific regions and is often symmetrical.
Common regional clinical terms:
* Palmar hyperhidrosis (hands)
* Plantar hyperhidrosis (feet)
* Axillary hyperhidrosis (underarms)
* Craniofacial hyperhidrosis (face and scalp)
Secondary generalised hyperhidrosis
This is sweating caused by an underlying condition or medication (e.g. hyperthyroidism, diabetes, menopause, infections, antidepressants). It usually affects the entire body rather than isolated areas.
Excessive sweating isn’t always obvious, but if you find yourself sweating more than usual without a clear reason, it could be a sign of hyperhidrosis.
Stop Sweat Fix isn’t just for people diagnosed with hyperhidrosis. It’s designed for anyone who struggles with unwanted sweating — whether it’s triggered by anxiety in social or work situations, a tendency to overheat easily, visible sweat patches during the day, or discomfort at the gym. If sweating is affecting your confidence, this product is made to help.
Sweating is a natural and essential bodily function. However, some people produce far more sweat than the body actually needs to regulate temperature. In fact, those with hyperhidrosis can sweat up to four times more than necessary.
Stop Sweat Fix works by temporarily constricting the sweat ducts in the applied area, reducing perspiration at the source. With just one application, the area can remain dry for up to seven days.
As your skin naturally renews itself, the effect gradually fades. Reapplying once per week helps maintain consistent results and helps prevents sweat from returning to treated areas.
Importantly, while sweating is reduced in targeted areas, your body continues to regulate temperature through perspiration elsewhere, ensuring normal physiological function is maintained.
