Overview
Hyperhidrosis can be caused by a number of factors, including genetics, medical conditions, medications, anxiety, and stress. Often once standard methods like the use of antiperspirants fails to work effectively, patients seek alternative treatments provided by CMC Hospital Dubai including both
and laser treatment for excessive sweating/hyperhidrosis.
Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis
The main symptom of hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating. The sweating may be constant or it may come and go. It may be worse during certain activities, such as exercise or when feeling stressed.
Other symptoms of hyperhidrosis may include:
- Damp or wet skin
- Sweat stains on clothing
- Visible droplets of sweat on the skin
- Difficulty gripping objects
- Social embarrassment
Treatment of Hyperhidrosis
There are a number of treatments available for hyperhidrosis. The best treatment for you will depend on the severity of your condition and the underlying cause.
Non-invasive & Minimally Invasive Treatments for Hyperhidrosis
- Excessive sweating can be used to block the signals from the nerves that trigger the sweat glands. This can be very effective in reducing sweating in the armpits, hands, and feet.
- Laser treatment: in this procedure laser light is used to permanently destroy axillary sweat glands by heating targeted sweat gland tissue without damaging the surrounding areas.
Lifestyle Changes
While seeking additional treatments, there are some natural methods that may reduce sweating that include:
- Avoiding caffeine and alcohol
- Wearing loose-fitting, breathable clothing
- Taking cool showers or baths
- Using an antiperspirant before bed
