HYPERHIDROSIS
(EXCESSIVE SWEATING)

Severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a medical condition that involves hyperactive sweat glands. Sweat is your body's temperature regulator. In severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (severe sweating of the underarms), sweating significantly exceeds the body's normal requirements.

Severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis often goes undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and untreated due to lack of awareness.  Prescription strength antiperspirants, oral medications, and Botox may be used for short-term treatment.  Liposuction can be used for permanent relief.

Botox Treatment

Botox® treatment has been approved by the FDA for excessive sweating. Botox® treatment helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. The effects of Botox® treatment for this problem last an average of six to seven months.

Liposuction of the Axilla

Liposuction results in a permanent reduction in the amount of sweat production.  Reduction is accomplished by removing the sweat glands in the fatty layer and by fibrosis of unremoved glands. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime and soreness.  In general, there is a reduction in sweating of the underarms of about 60 to 70 percent.
