Medicine Treatment for Hyperhidrosis
Medicine is unique among treatments for excessive sweating, since it acts to stop the sweating at its origin. Medicine enters the specific sweat glands that are causing the problem, and blocks a chemical that is responsible for the excessive sweating.
Studies have shown that the vast majority of patients whose excessive sweating is described as severe, find that their sweating is reduced by over 80% with Medicine treatment.
Generally, most patients are free of excessive sweating for about 6-8 months after a Medicine treatment. As many as one third are free of excessive sweating for at least one year.
Medicine is a safe, gentle way to control excessive sweating. There are other methods of treatment as well, such as anti-perspirants and surgery. But for those in whom the other methods are not effective or desirable, Medicine offers a safe, long-lasting solution.
The doctors may use a starch Iodine test to find the areas of excessive sweating. This gentle substance is placed on the skin, and areas of sweating appear dark blue. This allows for more accurate and cost-effective injection to take place.
Armpit treatment is easy. No anesthetic is necessary. Both armpits can be treated at once.
After your Medicine treatment, sweating decreases within a couple of days, and the maximum effect takes about a week or two. Medicine is used to reduce your excess sweating to normal levels.
