Effective Ways to Treat Excessive 
Sweating
Excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis turns into a big 
problem for a person, causing a state of awkwardness in 
communicating with other people, reducing self-esteem, 
mood and ultimately the quality of life suffers. However 
there are various excessive underarm sweat treatment 
options that eliminate the problems related to bad odour 
and smell.  
One of the forms of local hyperhidrosis is excessive 
sweating in the armpit area. On the one hand, such a state 
can be a normal reaction of the body to an increase in 
temperature, strong physical activity, excitement, etc. 
However, sometimes the increased sweating in the armpits 
disturbs a person constantly and for no apparent reason.
Antiperspirants
They contain salts of aluminum or zinc, 
which constrict the ducts of the sweat 
glands, reducing the process of 
perspiration by 40%. But they 
practically don't destroy microbes. 
Antiperspirants are very powerful and 
should be used sparingly, especially in 
hot weather, and should only be 
applied to clean skin.
Iontophoresis
This physiotherapy method for the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis is especially 
effective in the case of mild to moderate palmar and foot forms of the disease. 
The treatment is carried out in baths with ordinary water and aluminum electrodes 
placed on the bottom through which a constant or pulsed electric current is 
passed. As a rule, the procedures are performed separately for the hands and feet. 
They last 20-30 minutes. In total, 10-12 procedures are required to obtain the 
effect.
Botox
This local method of getting rid of hyperhidrosis is effective in any localization of 
increased sweating. Treatment consists of intradermal injections of the drug into 
areas of hyperhidrosis. Due to the speed, safety and high efficiency of the 
procedure, this method is still considered the gold standard for the treatment of 
axillary hyperhidrosis. The duration of the effect is 6-8 months, after which 
repeated treatment is required. When treating this form, a short-term weakening 
of the thumb muscles is possible, and therefore the initial treatment is best done 
on one hand.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment of hyperhidrosis is used to eliminate axillary hyperhidrosis and is 
carried out under local anesthesia. Exposure leads to damage to the sweat glands 
and a decrease in the severity or elimination of hyperhidrosis. The doctor 
calculates the number of units of the drug. After that, local anesthesia is 
performed, a light emit from the device that directly affects the sweat glands. The 
whole procedure takes 15-30 minutes.
