About Hyperhidrosis

An Overview Of
Hyperhidrosis
Learning about the cause of your hair loss is the first step toward finding a solution. And we are here to provide that knowledge and the products to help you achieve success!
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is the medical terminology for excessive sweating.
What causes hyperhidrosis?
There are many factors that can cause some people to sweat more than normal: if a person is under a great deal of stress this can cause one to sweat more than normal. If an individual plays sports or works out at the gym on a regular basis, this will cause excessive sweat. Or if the body is going through a change of life and hormones are fluctuating, this too can cause excessive sweating.
How does hyperhidrosis / sweating cause hair loss?
In your sweat, also known as metabolic waste, you have by-products of lactic acid, sodium chloride, potassium salts, urea, and ammonia. Over a period of time, this waste begins to destroy the hair follicle by stripping away the cuticles, depriving it of vital minerals and moisture inside of the protective epithelial sheath. If this waste reaches the bulb it can reduce the growth and life of the hair.
Does this condition affect men differently than women? And if so how?
With men, this condition is easily identified with red scalp, dandruff, and frizzy dry hair in the crown with thinning. With women, there are some hindrances due to women coloring their hair, bleaching their hair, straightening their hair, having a hair weave, etc. All of these modalities can impede the findings until a full hair extraction is done to see below the scalp to know of the is condition we are dealing with.
What are the most notable symptoms that one should be aware of if they have hyperhidrosis?
Well, the most notable for women is excessive hair shedding and loss of hair density. In men that do not have MPB: redness, greasiness, sour smell on scalp especially in the morning upon wakening, or thinning in the crown and around the hairline.
What type of test do you perform to identify if a person has hyperhidrosis?
We perform microscopic polarization testing to identify with 100% accuracy if you have this condition or not.
Do you accept medical insurance to pay for this type of service?
Only if you have an (HSA) Health Savings Account, which is an add-on to your regular medical insurance.
How long will it take before I can see a difference in my hair if I chose to have Miyohara International perform this service?

It varies from person to person, but here at Miyohara International, if hyperhidrosis is what you are suffering from, we are the team who can help you.
