Ep 11. Excessive Sweating and Hyperhidroisis

Rejuvaness Season 1 Episode 11

In this episode of The Rejuvaness Podcast, Dr. Rosie Roeder and PA Andrea Sparr dive into a condition that affects nearly 5% of the population — hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. While many shrug it off as "just sweat," for those living with it, the impact can be life-altering — from social anxiety to wardrobe changes multiple times a day.

We break down the two main types of hyperhidrosis (primary and secondary), and walk through treatment options ranging from over-the-counter antiperspirants to prescription-strength solutions, oral medications, Botox injections, and even surgical interventions.

They also bust common myths (no, your deodorant isn’t giving you cancer), explain how antiperspirants actually work, and discuss newer treatments like MiraDry and iontophoresis. Whether you're sweating through your socks or just curious about the science of sweat, this episode delivers practical info with humor, science, and empathy.
