What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating even in the absence of exercise, physical exertion or hot temperatures. Individuals who have hyperhidrosis usually experience heavy perspiration of the palms, feet, face, scalp, or underarms. Seen in men and women alike, hyperhidrosis happens due to overactive sweat glands that cause excessive sweating, which may soak through clothes or cause wet palms. Hyperhidrosis can have a significant impact on your confidence, self-image, and wardrobe options. If you suffer from hyperhidrosis, Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics offers advanced skin treatments to help you control your symptoms. Schedule a consultation at our Orlando, FL office to learn more about managing excessive sweating.
How Do You Treat Hyperhidrosis?
During your first visit, we'll conduct a thorough skin exam and sweat test. We'll also ask about your symptoms and medical history to try to determine the root cause of your hyperhidrosis. From there, our team will build out a personalized treatment plan to address your sweating. Our practice offers numerous different therapies to address hyperhidrosis so the treatment provided may differ, depending on your needs along with the area and intensity of your condition. Some common treatments for hyperhidrosis are clinical-strength deodorants, topical medications, and orals. BOTOX® injections can also offer more substantial outcomes by temporarily blocking the sweat glands from secreting fluids. Our dermatologists will partner with you to find the optimal option to help with excess perspiration and help you regain a higher quality of life.
What Are the Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis?
The primary symptom of hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating from the palms, underarms, face, or chest. This heavy sweating may happen one or more times a week and for no clear reason. Other signs of hyperhidrosis include:
- A flushed appearance around the face
- Frequently damp skin
- Itchiness
- Body odor
Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics Reviews
I started seeing Dr. Grayman in March for my hair and alopecia. In the last several months my skin has cleared and my hair is filling in. I'm very happy with the care I've received and her staff is great never once have I felt rushed. She is a direct communicator which I love. I specially sought out an African America dermatologist and she is more than worth the wait. I have had to wait in office once or twice but I wait anytime I go to the Dr. It happens. Patience and kindness goes a long way.
I saw 3 Dermatologist before Dr. Grayman. She was the only Doctor to properly diagnose my condition and resolve it. I have not had an outbreak in more than 3 years!! Very professional and informative đź‘Ź đź‘Ś
For the first time after several visits this has been the first time a dermatologist has actually touched me and looked at every area I had concerns about while others only looked and quickly came to the conclusion that I had server dry skin.
Dr Grayman was awesome and started treatment right away. I’m excited for this journey.
Posted 11/07/25I waited until my last treatment before writing this review, just to be sure the results hold up. I’d been dealing with a hyperpigmentation area for over 3 years and I tried everything—(OTC products, prescriptions) and seen a few dermatologist. Nothing worked.Frustrated - one day while searching online, I came across Dr. Grayman and PureSkin Dermatology. This time, I specifically wanted to see a dermatologist familiar with my skin type and culture because, after several failed attempts with others, I figured maybe someone who truly understands skin like mine could actually help.At first, I was hesitant (as anyone would be), but I decided to schedule a consultation. After accessing my skin issue, Dr. Grayman immediately knew what kind of treatment would work best. I even said to her “If you’re absolutely confident about this treatment, I’ll move forward with you,” and she said without hesitation, “Yes, I am confident.” At that moment, I felt optimistic that I'm in good hands.Fast forward through 4 treatments—and wow! I’m super satisfied with the results. My skin in the problem area looked so much better. Dr. Grayman and her team have been nothing but professional, kind, and attentive before, during, and after every session. The ladies at the front desk are absolute sweethearts—super warm and welcoming, but still professional. The nurse assistants are just as great—very patient, friendly, professional and detail-oriented.Honestly, I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Grayman and her team. I 100% recommend PureSkin Dermatology if you’re looking for results and a staff that's professional, attentive and friendly. Hopefully I won’t need more treatments anytime soon, but if I ever do, this will always be my go-to spot. Hands down.Thank you to everyone at PureSkin! Sorry to readers for the long post, but I assure you this isn’t an insider review—just a grateful patient.
