Hyperhidrosis treatment

How to recognize the disease

The main sign of hyperhidrosis is sweating that does not correspond to the ambient temperature and level of physical activity. Even at rest, the patient notes constant skin moisture, which intensifies with the slightest excitement or stress.

Sweating can be so intense that drops of sweat run down the hands or soak through clothing, creating tangible everyday difficulties. It is important to understand that the problem is not related to hygiene – it is caused by dysfunction of the sweat glands.

• Constantly moist palms and feet regardless of external conditions.
• Intense sweating in the armpits, soaking through clothing.
• Increased skin moisture on the face, especially in the forehead and above the upper lip.
• Worsening of symptoms during stress, excitement, or temperature changes.
• Decreased self-confidence and avoidance of social contacts.

Diagnosis begins with an examination and medical history, as well as a sweating test. In some cases, additional examination is required to rule out endocrine, infectious, or neurological diseases that may trigger hyperhidrosis.

It is important to accurately determine the cause, because the treatment strategy depends on it. We approach each patient individually and develop a program taking into account all identified factors.

How treatment works

Treatment of hyperhidrosis includes several approaches – from conservative methods to minimally invasive procedures that provide quick and lasting results. The choice of method depends on the location and intensity of sweating, as well as the individual characteristics of the patient.

In most cases, therapy begins with topical agents that temporarily reduce the activity of sweat glands. If the effect is insufficient, more radical methods are considered – injection or physiotherapeutic.

• Topical agents – special deodorants and antiperspirants based on aluminum chloride.
• Botulinum toxin injections – temporarily block the transmission of impulses to the sweat glands, the effect lasts up to 6-12 months.
• Iontophoresis – a hardware method that affects the palms and feet using weak currents.
• Microwave thermodestruction – targeted removal of sweat glands without incisions.
• Psychotherapeutic support – helps reduce anxiety associated with symptoms.

Injection methods and hardware procedures give quick results after the first procedure, while the recovery period is minimal. The patient can return to their usual rhythm of life almost immediately after the session.

We discuss all possible options, their effectiveness and cost with the patient to choose the optimal treatment strategy. Each case requires a balanced approach and consideration of all wishes and limitations.
