Excessive sweating can impact daily life in numerous ways, creating not only physical discomfort but also emotional distress. At the Sweaty Palms Clinic, we specialize in helping individuals manage and overcome this challenging condition. Our clinic is dedicated to providing the latest advancements in treatment options, tailored just for you.

What Causes Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, affects millions of people worldwide. It can occur in various forms, including:

• Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: This condition usually affects specific areas such as the palms, feet, underarms, and face.
• Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This is caused by an underlying medical condition or by medications.

The exact cause of primary focal hyperhidrosis is often unknown, although it tends to run in families, indicating a potential genetic factor involved. Secondary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, may result from a variety of medical conditions including:

• Diabetes
• Hyperthyroidism
• Obesity
• Menopause
• Some cancers

Recognizing the Symptoms

Understanding the symptoms of excessive sweating is crucial for seeking the right treatment. Common indicators include:

• Persistent sweat production in areas such as the palms, feet, face, or underarms.
• Increased sweating at night or during activity.
• Embarrassment or anxiety associated with sweating.
• Skin irritation or infections due to excessive moisture.

Treatment Options at the Sweaty Palms Clinic

Our clinic employs a variety of treatment techniques to help individuals combat excessive sweating. Some of the most effective treatments include:

1. Antiperspirants

Prescription-strength antiperspirants are often the first step in treatment. They contain aluminum chloride, which helps block sweat glands. These products are particularly effective for underarm sweating and can be a useful option before considering more invasive treatments.

2. Medications

Oral medications, such as anticholinergics, may also be considered. These can help reduce sweating by blocking the signals that trigger your sweat glands. However, they can come with potential side effects, so it's important to discuss this option with our specialists.

3. Botox Injections

Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections have been shown to effectively reduce sweating in various areas, including the armpits and palms. Botox works by blocking the nerves that cause sweat production. Results can last for several months, and treatments can be repeated as needed.

4. Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis is a non-invasive procedure that uses electricity to temporarily block sweat glands. This outpatient treatment is especially effective for hand and foot sweating. Sessions typically last about 20-40 minutes and may require several treatments to achieve optimal results.

5. Microwave Therapy

Microwave therapy is a newer treatment that destroys sweat glands using microwave energy. It is typically a one-time treatment and can significantly reduce sweating in the underarms.

6. Surgical Options

In severe cases of hyperhidrosis that do not respond to other treatments, surgery may be an option. Procedures can include:

• Sympathectomy: This surgery involves cutting nerves that trigger sweating. It is usually reserved for severe cases.
• Removal of sweat glands: In some areas, surgeons can directly remove sweat glands to alleviate sweating.

Aftercare and Recovery

Caring for yourself after treatment is essential for optimal results. Depending on the procedure, your aftercare instructions may vary. For example:

• For Botox injections, you might be advised to avoid strenuous activity for a short time.
• After surgery, you may need to follow specific guidelines to ensure proper healing.
