What is Hyperhidrosis and How to Effectively Control It

At Sutran, we fully understand how frustrating living with excessive sweating can be. We know because, for over ten years, we've closely worked with people who contend daily with hyperhidrosis. We've heard their stories, studied the condition in depth, and developed textile solutions that truly make a difference.

Today, we want to share everything you need to know about this condition. Because knowledge is power. And when combined with innovation, it becomes freedom.


What Is Hyperhidrosis? Understanding Excessive Sweating

Sweating is a natural bodily mechanism to regulate temperature, eliminate toxins, and maintain internal balance. However, when it becomes excessive, unpredictable, and uncontrollable, it's called hyperhidrosis.

When Does Sweating Become Abnormal?

When you sweat at rest, without heat or physical activity, and do so consistently to the point of soaking clothes multiple times a day — that’s not normal. This condition can affect various body areas: armpits, palms, feet, face, chest, or back.


Primary vs. Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Key Differences

  • Primary hyperhidrosis: no identifiable medical cause; typically appears in childhood/adolescence and affects localized areas (armpits, hands, feet).

  • Secondary hyperhidrosis: arises from medical conditions or medications; may cause generalized sweating.


Common Causes of Hyperhidrosis

Not everyone who sweats a lot has hyperhidrosis, but certain factors increase the likelihood:

Genetic and Hereditary Factors

At Sutran, we’ve seen many clients with a family history. If your parents, grandparents, or siblings experienced excessive sweating, you're more likely to develop it too.

Hormonal Changes, Medications, and Medical Conditions

Life stages like puberty, menopause, or pregnancy can worsen sweating.
Diseases such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or neurological disorders may be linked to hyperhidrosis.
Some medications, including antidepressants or hormone therapies, can trigger excessive sweating.


Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis: What to Watch

Many people don’t recognize their sweating as a medical condition. How can you tell if you have hyperhidrosis?

Most Affected Body Areas

  • Armpits (most common)

  • Palms and soles

  • Face and neck

  • Back and chest

At Sutran, many share that they change clothes multiple times a day, avoid handshakes, or shy away from light-colored clothes due to fear of stains.


Physical, Social, and Emotional Consequences

  • Visible sweat stains affecting personal image

  • Intense body odor, even after showering

  • Insecurity in social or work settings

  • Anticipatory anxiety — worrying about sweating, which fuels more sweating


Traditional Treatments for Hyperhidrosis

There are several options available, though not all are accessible, comfortable, or effective for everyone.

Clinical Antiperspirants & Botox

  • Aluminum chloride antiperspirants may help mild cases but often irritate the skin.

  • Botox blocks nerve signals to sweat glands but requires repeat sessions and can be expensive.

Surgery & Medical Procedures

  • Sympathectomy (nerve-cutting surgery) is invasive and risky.

  • Oral medications (anticholinergics) can reduce sweating but usually come with side effects.


Sutran Technology: A Non-Invasive Textile Solution

Faced with these options, at Sutran we decided to create a comfortable, practical, and effective solution: garments with a double-layer system.


How Our Double-Layer System Works

  • Inner absorbent layer: captures sweat and distributes it evenly, preventing wetness near the skin.

  • Outer waterproof and breathable layer: blocks moisture from passing through, keeping outerwear dry.

  • All made from light, soft, natural-feeling fabrics, designed for everyday use in any environment.


Advantages Over Other Treatments

  • ✔ No side effects

  • ✔ No maintenance or invasive interventions

  • ✔ Comfortable all day

  • ✔ Available for both men and women

  • ✔ Modern, discreet style
