Hyperhidrosis is a distressing condition that affects the patient’s quality of life, where excessive sweating occurs in specific areas such as the hands, feet, underarms, or face, without being related to physical activity or high temperature.
Our clinic provides the latest medical techniques to manage this condition effectively, with long-lasting results in most cases.
Causes of Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis may occur due to:
-
Overactivity of the sweat glands
-
Genetic factors
-
Disorders of the sympathetic nervous system
-
Heat exposure or emotional stress
-
Or it may occur without a known cause (primary hyperhidrosis)
Treatment Options Available at the Clinic
1) Botox Injections
One of the most effective treatments, Botox, works by blocking the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands in the affected area.
Results: noticeable within days and last 6–12 months.
2) Medications
Prescription-strength antiperspirants or oral medications that help reduce sweat gland activity, depending on the case.
3) Iontophoresis
A highly effective technique, especially for hand and foot sweating, using a mild electrical current that gradually reduces excessive sweating.
4) Surgical Treatment — Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS)
Used for severe cases that do not respond to other treatments.
A minimally invasive procedure performed through a small incision to cut or cauterize the sympathetic nerve responsible for excessive sweating.
Advantages:
-
Permanent results
-
Quick procedure with minimal downtime
5) Sweat Gland Removal or Ablation
In cases of underarm hyperhidrosis, the sweat glands can be surgically removed or treated with energy-based devices to permanently reduce their activity.
