HYPERHIDROSIS
WHAT IS HYPERHIDROSIS?
Also known as excessive sweating, hyperhidrosis is a condition that affects people of all ages. The condition relates to sweating that may not be related to heat or exercise and it isn’t confined to the armpits. Excessive sweating can affect the face, soles of the feet, hands and chest.
In some cases, hyperhidrosis is severe enough that the sufferer is regularly drenched and sweat soaks through their clothes. Aside from disrupting daily routine, excessive sweating can cause stress and anxiety. Luckily, there is a safe way to stop hyperhidrosis.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF HYPERHIDROSIS?
There can be many factors that cause excessive sweating, with one possible factor being an issue with the part of the nervous system that controls the sweat gland. This is referred to as primary hyperhidrosis.
Other hyperhidrosis factors include:
- Stress
- Pregnancy or menopause
- Infections
- Low blood sugar
HOW TO TREAT HYPERHIDROSIS?
Hyperhidrosis toxin injection
Cosmetic treatment for excessive sweating involves injecting a neuromuscular toxin into the specified area. The toxin blocks the nerves that cause sweating, paralysing them temporarily.
This procedure can be tailored to fit individual needs and is effective across all areas of the body. So, whether you’re sweating from your face or armpits, hyperhidrosis toxin treatment is a versatile procedure.
Plus, the results of the treatment last up to 12 months and there’s no downtime needed after the procedure.
Antiperspirants
If seeking medical treatment for hyperhidrosis, you may be prescribed an antiperspirant cream to be applied to the skin. This kind of medication works by sweat dissolving the antiperspirant particles and dragging them into the pores to provide a temporary plug.
Prescription antiperspirants usually contain aluminium chloride, though be aware that this ingredient can cause skin irritation. If you need more information about antiperspirants, then don’t hesitate to speak to a professional who can provide more guidance.
Oral medication
Another method for treating excessive sweating is to be prescribed an oral medication that contains a compound like glycopyrrolate.
It’s important to note that these pills to stop hyperhidrosis may cause side effects such as dry mouth or dizziness, so it’s always better to check with a professional to see what kind of treatment you’re best suited to.
