Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary for normal thermoregulation. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the underarms, palms, feet, and face, and can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. At MD Cosmedical Solutions Cosmetic Clinics, we offer a range of advanced treatments designed to manage and alleviate the symptoms of hyperhidrosis, providing patients with long-lasting relief.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is defined by excessive sweating that is not related to heat or exercise. This condition can occur in localised areas (focal hyperhidrosis) or affect the entire body (generalised hyperhidrosis). It is often triggered by stress, anxiety, or specific environmental factors, and can lead to discomfort, social embarrassment, and skin problems.
Causes of Hyperhidrosis
The exact cause of hyperhidrosis is not always clear, but it can be linked to:
- Primary Hyperhidrosis: This type occurs without an underlying medical condition and is often localised. It may be genetic.
- Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This type is caused by an underlying condition such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, infections, or certain medications.
Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis
Common symptoms of hyperhidrosis include:
- Excessive sweating in one or more specific areas, such as the underarms, palms, soles, or face.
- Sweating that occurs even in cool temperatures or without physical exertion.
- Wet or clammy hands and feet.
- Noticeable sweating that interferes with daily activities.
Diagnosing Hyperhidrosis
At MD Cosmedical Solutions Cosmetic Clinics, diagnosing hyperhidrosis involves a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed medical history and physical examination. We may also perform specific tests to measure the extent of sweating and rule out underlying medical conditions.
Hyperhidrosis Treatments at MD Cosmedical Solutions
We provide a variety of effective treatments for managing hyperhidrosis:
1.Hyperhidrosis Injection Treatments
Hyperhidrosis Injection Treatments are the mainstay and most effective treatments to help reduce hyperhidrosis in many areas such as underarms, forehead, palms and feet.
2. Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is a non-invasive treatment that uses a mild electrical current to reduce excessive sweating. It is particularly effective for treating hyperhidrosis in the hands and feet. During the procedure, patients immerse the affected areas in water, and a low electrical current is passed through, temporarily shutting down sweat glands.
3. Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is an advanced treatment option for hyperhidrosis, utilizing targeted laser energy to deactivate sweat glands. This minimally invasive procedure provides long-lasting results and can significantly reduce sweating in treated areas.
4. Antiperspirants and Topical Treatments
Prescription-strength antiperspirants and topical treatments can help reduce excessive sweating. These products contain active ingredients that temporarily block sweat glands, providing relief from symptoms.
5. Oral Medications
In some cases, oral medications may be prescribed to manage hyperhidrosis. These medications can help reduce sweating by affecting the body’s natural sweating mechanisms.
6. Microwave Thermolysis
Microwave thermolysis is a non-invasive treatment that uses microwave energy to target and destroy sweat glands in the underarms. This procedure is FDA-approved and provides long-term relief from excessive sweating.
