WHAT IS HYPERHIDROSIS?

About hyperhidrosis Banner
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating caused by overactive sweat and odor glands. The amount of fluid produced by the body significantly surpasses what is necessary for regulating its temperature. This condition can affect various zones:
  • hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
  • armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis)
  • feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
  • face and head (craniofacial hyperhidrosis)

Hyperhidrosis is a challenge that goes beyond mere physical discomfort, often leading to emotional and social distress for those affected. Excessive sweating can interfere with everyday activities, from using electronic devices to driving. Social interactions and professional life can be significantly affected, leading to anxiety and decreased quality of life.

TYPES OF HYPERHIDROSIS

Primary Hyperhidrosis

This type occurs without an apparent cause , with excessive sweating usually localized to specific areas, such as the hands, feet, and armpits. It typically begins during childhood or adolescence and lasts throughout a person’s life. Primary hyperhidrosis may be caused by overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system.

Secondary Hyperhidrosis

In this situation, extensive sweating is caused by an underlying health issue or medication. Diseases that can lead to secondary hyperhidrosis include certain endocrine disorders, neurological conditions, spinal cord injuries, or infections. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause with medications, therapy, or surgery.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR HYPERHIDROSIS

Minarets Medical Group offers many procedures tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Understanding that this disease affects everyone differently, our expert team provides personalized care that addresses specific body areas. Here are some of our treatments:
Topical Treatments
Topical Treatments
Antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride can be effective for mild cases of hyperhidrosis. They target sweat glands to reduce fluid secretion (production). Aluminum chloride is applied nightly as powder, solution, or roll-on. We also offer Qbrexza wipes and other prescription topicals for daily use.
Botox
Injections
Botox Injections
FDA-approved for treating underarm sweating, Botox injections temporarily block the nerves that stimulate fluid production. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort. It provides relief for 4-6 months.
Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is a technique that uses a small electric current to block sweat glands. The person receiving this procedure places the problematic body part (usually hands or feet) into a shallow tray filled with water. Then, a mild electric current is applied with a special machine. Iontophoresis temporarily shuts off sweat production in the target area. This non-invasive treatment is safe and takes about an hour.
Microwave Thermolysis
Microwave Thermolysis
Microwave thermolysis is a novel procedure for reducing excessive sweating. It uses targeted microwave energy to heat and destroy sweat glands below the skin's surface. A special generator device is placed on the skin during this non-surgical procedure to deliver electromagnetic waves to the target area. The heat generated from the microwaves can reach temperatures high enough to damage or destroy the sweat glands.
