About Hyperhidrosis or Excessive Sweating
Approximately 5% of Americans (15.3 million) report having hyperhidrosis,³ and many experts believe these numbers are an underestimation because the condition is underreported and underdiagnosed.³ Indeed, data show most adults with hyperhidrosis have never spoken to a healthcare provider about it. Further, only 18% are actually diagnosed, meaning the vast majority of the population (82%) remains undiagnosed.³ Additionally, the International Hyperhidrosis Society (IHHS) estimates one in three U.S. adults (85.2 million ^4,5) are bothered by their excessive underarm sweating.⁴ Among consumers seeking aesthetic treatments, a recent survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery found 58% stated they are bothered by excessive sweating.⁶
