Stop Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)



Stop Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Excessive sweating from under the arms is one of the most embarrassing conditions possible. However SurgiCare can offer hope in the form of a number of treatments for hyperhidrosis.

In the past, all kinds of radical treatments were used in order to stop excessive sweating(hyperhidrosis) including surgical removal of the sweat glands under the arms, and even cutting the nerves in the neck.

Sadly, these treatments to try and stop excessive sweating often resulted in unpleasant side effects such as significant scarring, and simply moved the sweating problem to another area of the body, such as the face or groin area.

Thankfully, there is now a much safer and more effective treatment to stop excessive sweating with very little risk of side effects. Using a muscle relaxing injection of Botulinum Toxin it is possible to significantly reduce the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.

What are the benefits of excessive sweating treatments?
In most cases, treatments to stop excessive sweating take effect within a matter of days, leading to a significant reduction in the amount of sweating. Typically, improvements last around three to six months, and can be repeated as often as necessary.
How does the treatment stop excessive sweating?
The Hyperhydrosistreatment involves an injection of tiny amounts of a muscle relaxant called Botulinum Toxin in a grid pattern over the affected area. You may experience a small amount of discomfort during the procedure, but in most cases, no anaesthetic is required.
Are there other products that may help me to stop excessive sweating?
For milder cases of hyperhidrosis, talcum power and cornstarch powder products such as Zeasorb can help to absorb the sweat. There are also a number of stronger antiperspirants, available including Driclor and AnHydrol Forte. These are made using strong solutions of aluminium chloride, and can be used for armpits, hands and feet. However they can cause skin to become irritated over time. If this happens you should consult your GP.

If you find that you are still suffering from excessive sweating after using these products, you should contact Surgicare to discuss other treatment options.
Can you give any practical advice on how to stop excessive sweating?
  • Choose the right clothing. Natural fibres like cotton are cool but they absorb sweat and can stay damp once they get wet; some synthetic fibres are warm but they draw sweat away from the body and feel dry. You may find it more comfortable to have a change of clothing available during the day.
  • If your feet are the problem, try using absorbent insoles and leaving shoes to dry out rather than wearing the same pair on consecutive days.
  • Keep your work environment cool and well ventilated.
  • Avoid the food and drinks that seem to trigger your sweating.
  • Think about how you can reduce stress during the day, plan your activities carefully and try to make time to relax.
