What Is Excessive Sweating?
Sweating is your body’s way of regulating temperature and is an essential bodily function. Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is when your body sweats more than expected based on your activity level or the current temperature. Excessive sweating can be an issue for both men and women and can significantly affect their confidence and interfere with their daily lives. At Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics, we know how embarrassing it can be to deal with excessive sweating. To help you combat this issue, Dr. Oben Blair Ojong offers a variety of treatments so you can be more comfortable. Contact our office in The Woodlands, TX to learn more about treating hyperhidrosis and how we can help you get back to doing the activities you love without the discomfort of excessive sweating.
How Is Excessive Sweating Treated?
Prior to any treatments, you will need to come in for a consultation to determine if you have hyperhidrosis. At your consultation, we'll discuss your symptoms and decide whether you could benefit from treatment for excessive sweating. At Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics, we can effectively treat hyperhidrosis using Wrinkle relaxers® injections. Wrinkle relaxers can be injected into the problem areas using a small needle, providing a quick and relatively painless solution to your excessive sweating. The entire procedure can be completed in one of our private treatment rooms in about ten minutes. Patients typically see improvements in a few days, and these improvements can last up to 12 months. Periodic touch-up treatments are recommended to maintain optimal results.
What Are the Symptoms of Excessive Sweating?
People can experience excessive sweating in a variety of body regions. Symptoms of hyperhidrosis often depend on where you are experiencing excessive sweating. Some symptoms patients experience include:
- Flushing of the face
- Excessive sweat on various regions, such as the body, face, scalp, underarms, palms, and hands
- Frequent sweating
- Sweating that soaks through clothing
- Clammy or wet palms of the hands
- Clammy or wet soles of the feet

Everyone in the office is super friendly and helpful. Dr. Ojong is amazing. I came in for a skin biopsy and was in and out in 30 minutes. She explained everything she was doing to ease my anxiety with the process. Will definitely be coming back for any of my dermatology needs!
Great service, Doctor Ojong really listened to to our concerns and needs, she found the right plan to move forward with. Great results have followed!
Blown away by the staff and doctor. Dr. Ojong is very approachable, genuinely kind, unassuming and humble. She provided me options for my treatment and completed my procedure quickly and painlessly. My issue has resolved as she predicted. Her Medical Assistant was also very friendly, and awesome at her job. She’s a fully licensed Nurse (RN) which is way more qualified than most doctor’s staff. If your skin has medical needs, and you don’t give Dr. Ojong a try, you’ll be missing out.
Dr. O and her staff are amazing. She has already transformed my skin in the month I’ve been seeing her. So happy to have found Reve right here in The Woodlands!
Great service and professionalism of the staff. My new doctor for sure!

Excessive Sweating FAQ
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.
