Excessive sweating, or hyperhydrosis, is a debilitating issue for some people. Sufferers are unable to wear particular clothes because the problem of excessive sweating is so obvious and embarrassing, causing them to sweat excessively.

 

How can hyperhydrosis be treated?

​

Hyperhydrosis is when excessive sweating occurs and uncontrollable sweating and a clinical issue that can be treated. Traditional approaches available include prescription drugs like Robinul, clinical strength antiperspirants, and topical aluminum chloride.

​

Botox and Dysport are options for treating hyperhidrosis of the underarms, but this is a costly option and requires regular re-treatment to be effective. We use this option to treat only the hyperhidrosis of the palms and feet because our preferred treatment RF Microneedling is not appropriate for these areas.

​

Another effective option to treat excessive sweating is MiraDry, a device that has been used to more permanently eliminate the issue of excessive sweating of the underarms. However, it is not always effective, and the cost is prohibitive to the patients and potential providers.
