ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Hyperhidrosis refers to a common problem of excessive sweating which affects at least 1-3% of the population. The causes of excessive sweating could be anxiety, stress, Genetics, Overactive thyroid gland or even Pregnancy. Excessive sweating is known to occur at places where sweat glands are most concentrated such as the palms, soles and armpits (localised hyperhidrosis). Rarely, some individuals have a more widespread problem called generalised hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis can cause severe impact to quality of life. Dr Eissan understand this very well and treats the problem with utmost care and sensitivity by identifying the problem in detail and providing a range of treatment options to suite your personal needs.
TYPES OF TREATMENTS
BOTOX
Botox is FDA-approved for people who sweat excessively from their armpits. It may also be used “off-label” to reduce sweating in other areas, such as the hands, feet, and face. Botox is a highly effective treatment for excessive sweating. Botox effect lasts for 6 to 9 months.
MiraDry is a treatment that uses microwave energy to damage and disable underarm sweat glands. Results are long lasting and recovery time is minimal.
Lontophoresis – This is a popular treatment option for excessive sweating in the armpits. It uses a small electrical current passed through the skin which blocks the sweat glands. It needs many sessions and less effective compared to botox.
