How To Stop Excessive Underarm Sweating.

Excessive underarm sweating is a medical condition known as Axillary Hyperhidrosis. Though it seems simple to non-sufferers, sweating to excess really messes with people’s heads. Imagine always worrying:


‘when will I start sweating, what to wear and can anyone see?’

Over recent years, injections have become a simple and effective means to stop unprovoked underarm sweating. The injections also used for cosmetic treatments quickly and effectively stop the need for constant armpit checks.


Imagine No Sweat - what a relief.

How much does Hyperhidrosis cost you?

I found a great resource article on the International Hyperhidrosis website Sweathelp. It is a questionnaire on the financial cost of hyperhidrosis.

The question - “if you weigh up how much excessive sweating costs in day to day living, perhaps it will help make the decision on affordability of hyperhidrosis treatment options easier”.

International Hyperhidrosis Website Questionnaire.

If you are trying to decide whether you can afford the expense of hyperhidrosis treatments use the questions below to figure out how excessive sweating currently affects your finances.

Perhaps, by spending money on treatments, you may be able to save in other areas.

• Dry-cleaning and stain removal?
• New shirts, dresses, shoes, socks, or other clothing?
• Over-the-counter antiperspirants, deodorants, or powders?
• Pads, ”shields“, towels, or materials to absorb perspiration?

Also consider your job and employment opportunities.

  • Has excessive sweating affected your income or your potential for career advancement?
  • Has it affected your personal or social life?
  • These costs are hard to measure but you may find that the money spent on treating hyperhidrosis is worthwhile because of the improvement to your quality of life.

    Antiperspirants for Hyperhidrosis.

    Antiperspirants are considered the first line of treatment for excessive sweating of the underarms, hands, feet, and sometimes face because they are the safest and least invasive. They work simply by blocking the sweat ducts and reducing the amount of sweat that reaches the skin.

    Hyperhidrosis Brisbane - antiperspirants

    What ingredients are in antiperspirants?

    The most widely used ingredients in antiperspirants are metallic salts containing aluminium chloride.

  • Aluminium chloride concentrations of 10% to 15% are recommended for the underarms.
  • For the hands or feet, higher concentrations are needed - usually around 30%.
  • What problems are associated with antiperspirants?

  • A high percentage of people experience irritation and rashes from aluminium chloride antiperspirants
  • These antiperspirants can often damage clothes
  • What happens if antiperspirants fail?

    Local injections are now seen as a “minimally invasive” treatment option for people who fail to respond to more-conservative treatment prior to resorting to surgery.

    Using Antiperspirants Correctly.

    Many people with excessive sweating of the armpits do find considerable relief with over the counter antiperspirants. To gain maximum benefit here are some tips to improve the effect.

    Hyperhidrosis treatment tip: Brisbane

    How to use antiperspirants for Excessive sweating of the armpit

  • Choose antiperspirants with aluminium chloride.
  • Apply the antiperspirant morning and night: this significantly increases the effect than just applying them daily.
  • If you are going to apply them once a day, it is better to use at night.
  • Make sure the skin is dry before applying the antiperspirant to minimise risk of irritation.
  • Studies show that applying an antiperspirant at night, as opposed to just in the morning,
    gives better results.

    Liposuction is not as reliable as local injections to treat excessive underarm sweating.

    Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the armpit is now treated with liposuction. The technique is used to remove or destroy the sweat glands so they can no longer produce perspiration.

    Liposuction for treatment of hyperhidrosis of the armpit.

    How does liposuction treat hyperhidrosis?

    The sweat glands of the armpit are located just under the skin. With liposuction the doctor uses a small tube to suck out the superficial layer of fat in the armpit where the sweat glands are located.

    How effective is liposuction for treatment of hyperhidrosis?.

    Because the Doctor performing the procedure cannot see the sweat glands they are going in blind so even with the most experienced operators the results are highly variable and cannot be guaranteed.

    Because local injections into the armpit give more reliable results and are less invasive, surgery should only be considered as a last resort when other measures have failed.
