I would like to ask to all the people who had developed this hyperhidrosis side effect to write to my email.
This way we can get in touch and talk about where we are from, how it has happened to each one and maybe identify common characteristics that make us more susceptible to this.
I'm already talking to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology and trying to publish my case, willing the dermatologists are aware of it and talk about this with the patients. The more people reporting this effect, the more accredited we are going to be.

I have developed the same problem! After 2 sessions of laser for hair removal in my underarms, I've started to sweat a lot!
I've searched for all possible causes (like hormonal), but my body is completely normal. And the laser is the only possible cause.
I guess this problem is definitive, since it has started 2 years ago and there was no reduction of this excessive sweat.
I've tried deodorant containing aluminum chloride, however I've not noticed any change. So, now I use botox approximately twice a year. But it is not viable for the rest of my life.
I got very upset with this and there is nothing that I regret more in my life than this treatment.
I'm desperate trying to find some treatment to get rid off this problem, which I have never had before the laser!
