If I could give Rêve Dermatology 100 stars, I would.Walking in, you’ll be greeted with a light and beautiful space. At the front desk, you’ll meet Annia, who is such a gem herself. The questionnaire is thorough, and the wait incredibly short. I’d never taken the time to get my skin treated at a dermatologist, and let me tell you—Dr. Ojong was exactly the kind of person you’d want to help you! She is kind, understanding, and goal oriented toward her patients feeling beautiful and comfortable in their own skin.Armed with my new skin care regimen, I would’ve been content at just that, but was delighted when the staff asked if I wanted to try a new line of skin care centered makeup they were showcasing—The Skincare Makeup. The lovely Janet Estrada (@cleanmakeup_janet), showed me how to use her lovingly crafted products, and to say I was amazed when I saw myself in the mirror is an understatement. Clearly crafted with passion for skin health and self-confidence, this makeup looks and feels incredible.I truly feel like I walked out of that office a new person. After feeling uncomfortable in my own skin for so long, I spent the rest of the night misty eyed, so grateful for the compassion showed by the staff at Rêve. Thank you Dr. Ojong, Rêve staff, and Janet for giving me my confidence back!!! Don’t even think about going anywhere else, it won’t even compare.

Dr. Ojong is an absolute sweetheart and really cares about what’s best for your skin and health! I feel lucky to have found such a great doctor. Her office is beautiful and doesn’t feel like a hospital. Her staff is lovely. She’s helped improve my skin by leaps and bounds! I never, ever thought I’d have decent skin, but what she’s done and recommended has GREATLY improved my complexion. We did 3 sessions of Lutronic laser and it helped soooo much! I’ve included my own before and after, both in the same lighting and bare-faced (sans eye). I’m also on a medical grade skincare routine and considering additional other treatments for anti aging, aesthetics, etc. Thank you Dr. Ojong!

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can happen for a variety of reasons. It's generally categorized into two types: primary and secondary hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis is often caused by overactive sweat glands, which are triggered by an overactive nervous system. This type typically affects areas like the hands, feet, underarms, or face and isn't tied to any underlying medical issue. Secondary hyperhidrosis, however, is usually linked to health conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, menopause, infections, or even certain medications. Identifying the cause is an important step in finding the proper treatment. At Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics, our team can help identify the cause of your excessive sweating and create a personalized treatment plan to help you feel more comfortable and confident.

Are there different types of excessive sweating?

Yes, excessive sweating can be classified into primary and secondary hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis typically affects specific areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, underarms, or face, and usually begins in childhood or adolescence without an underlying medical condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, is often linked to an underlying health issue or medication and can cause sweating over larger areas of the body. Understanding the type of hyperhidrosis is crucial for determining the appropriate management approach.

Can excessive sweating be hereditary?

Excessive sweating, particularly primary hyperhidrosis, can have a hereditary component. Research suggests that this condition may run in families, meaning if a close relative experiences excessive sweating, there is a higher likelihood that you might also develop the condition. However, not everyone with a family history will necessarily experience hyperhidrosis. Genetic factors play a role, but environmental and lifestyle factors may also influence its onset and severity.

How does excessive sweating impact clothing choices?

People with excessive sweating often need to be mindful of their clothing choices. They might opt for loose-fitting, breathable fabrics that allow air circulation and help manage moisture. Dark colors or patterns may be preferred to conceal sweat stains, and some individuals might carry extra clothing for changes throughout the day. Specialized clothing with moisture-wicking properties or sweat guards can also provide additional comfort and confidence.
