Searching Treatment For Excess Sweating – Hyperhidrosis

Do you suffer from excessive sweating? All of us sweat to some degree, it is a necessary function the body uses to keep itself cool. But in some people, the body can produce more sweat than is needed to regulate its temperature. This can be an uncomfortable and embarrassing problem.

The condition of producing excess sweat is called hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis can be localised to a particular part of the body or it can occur all over. The hands, feet, groin, or underarm areas are the most common for the condition to be noticed, as these contain the highest concentrations of sweat glands.

The Cause of Hyperhidrosis
It is not fully known what causes hyperhidrosis, although some doctors feel that factors such as stress and anxiety may help to trigger the condition.  The embarrassing effects of excess sweating can cause further anxiety, which aggravates the condition further. Certain foods and drinks can also trigger the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.

Treatments for an Excessive Sweating Problem
There are several different treatments which doctors may prescribe for hyperhidrosis. Sometimes aluminium chloride is used to treat the condition. This is an ingredient commonly found in anti-perpirants, but is prescribed in a much larger dose for hyperhidrosis sufferers. However, aluminium chloride is not effective on all parts of the body, and can cause skin irritation.

There are drugs which can be used to treat an excessive sweating problem, but, as with many drugs, there can be side effects, which include drowsiness, vision impairment and dryness in the mouth and mucus membranes.

Hyperhidrosis can be treated surgically, by removing part of the sympathetic nerve trunk which is associated with the production of sweat. While extremely effective, the chances of the condition recurring are high, and surgery is a drastic option which should be avoided whenever possible.

Botox© for Hyperhidrosis
One hyperhidrosis treatment that has been found to have a high level of success with few side-effects is the injection of Botulinum Toxin, or Botox©, into the affected areas. Botox© helps to reduce excess sweating by blocking the chemical messenger acetylcholine which stimulates the glands which produce sweat.

Icon Cosmetic Clinic has clinics in Brighton, East Sussex, and Tunbridge Wells in Kent. The clinics offer Botox© treatment for hyperhidrosis (excess sweating) and many other non-surgical cosmetic procedures and beauty treatments.
