Underarm sweating is a normal cooling response of the body, but for a small percentage of people the underarm sweat is excessive and known by the medical term ‘hyperhidrosis’. Fortunately there are now simple injections available to treat excessive underarm sweating.

To non-sufferers this may seem simple, however people with excessive underarm perspiration can at times be quite disabled and embarrassed by the perspiration and sweat stains, by constant worry about what to wear, and whether other people wil notice.

Though it is always worth trying anti perspirants that contain aluminum chloride (such as the long acting dri-chlor) they do not always provide relief from the underarm sweat.

Over recent years medical injections have become the most reliable way to treat excessive underarm sweating without surgery.

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:

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.

Iontophoresis with tap water alone has proven very successful in the majority of people with hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet with limited use for the armpits.

How does iontophoresis stop excessive sweating?

The way iontophoresis stops excessive sweating is unknown. It is speculated the treatment causes the sweat duct to be blocked by formation of a thick plug.

How is iontophoresis performed?

The hands or feet are placed in plastic baths which are filled with water and a very low electric current is turned on. The procedure is painless but the user may experiences a ‘pins and needles’ sensation in the hands or feet.

Other treatment options.

If iontophoresis fails local injections are considered the next ‘minimally invasive’ treatment option.

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.

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 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.

What ingredients are in antiperspirants?

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

What problems are associated with antiperspirants?

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.

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.

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.

At our clinic in Brisbane, we treat people with excessive sweating of the underarm, face, hands and feet. Primary hyperhidrosis responds well to injections, however if you have an underlying cause it is important that this is correctly diagnosed and treated.
