Treatments for excessive sweating and hyperhidrosis:

Targets for treatment of hyperhidrosis can be anywhere along the chain controlling sweating:

Areas that treatments for excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis work

To discuss the treatments, we need to consider:

● What treatment methods are available

● Which treatments methods are suitable for which areas of the body

Of course nothing replaces a consultation with an expert with years of experience in treating patients but, for the sake of this website, we are going to divide the information into these two broad categories.

This should help you find out the information that you need.

What treatment methods are available of excessive sweating / hyperhidrosis

The main treatment options fall into the following categories:

Conservative measures or drugs / medication
● Iontophoresis
● Botulinum Toxin (Botox® or Dysport®) injections
● Walk-in walk-out local anaesthetic surgery - Laser Sweat Ablation (LSA)
● General Anaesthetic Surgery - ETS (Endoscopic Transthoracic Sympathectomy)

Which methods of treatment are suitable for which areas of the body

Not all of these treatment methods can be used in all of the areas of the body - in fact most of the treatments are optimal for only one or two specific areas of the body.
 
Therefore, having gone through the treatment options, we will go thorough which are appropriate for each area:

● Arm-pits - Axillary Hyperhidrosis

● Hands and palms - Palmar Hyperhidrosis

● Face and head - Facial flushing, blushing and sweating

● Groins - Sweating in skin crease in groin

● Feet - Plantar Hyperhidrosis

The menu at the top of this page can be used to take you to all of the relevant pages for treatment methods and areas of the body.
