Treatment of hyperhidrosis

Most often, hyperhidrosis occurs in adults under the age of 30-35 years, as well as adolescents who are in the puberty period. Women are more prone to the disease, as they are more emotional than men. But in men, increased sweating of the feet is more common, while women suffer from armpit hyperhidrosis.

Heavy sweating can disrupt your day and cause social anxiety and embarrassment. The problem of excessive sweating is like a closed circle – a person sweats excessively (which in itself creates discomfort) and begins to get nervous, “causing” a new wave of sweat.

Causes of hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis can be diffuse (when the whole body sweats) and local (specific areas sweat: armpits, palms, feet, face). The main reason for increased sweating, as we have already noted, is a malfunction of the sweat glands. Another important factor is the reaction to outside irritations: stress, emotional or physical overstrain, sleep disturbances, and panic attacks. In these cases, the sweat production can be up to 10 times higher than normal.

Before taking measures to treat hyperhidrosis, it is necessary to undergo an examination. Since the excessive sweating can also be a sign of a serious illness, competent treatment of the underlying condition will help eliminate the symptom of the pathological function of the sweat glands.

Conditions, diseases and indirect reasons that might cause the excessive sweating include:

• disturbances in the work of the endocrine system;
• diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous system;
• vegetative disorders;
• menopause hot flashes;
• spinal cord or brain injury;
• diabetes mellitus, insulin injections;
• genetic disorders;
• taking certain medications;
• frequent use of energy drinks, strong tea, coffee, spicy food;
• wearing synthetic clothing.

Treatment of hyperhidrosis with Dysport injections

PRIZMA Medical Center in Kyiv will help to cope with the delicate problem of excessive sweating without resorting to surgical intervention. We offer therapy with Dysport injections with botulinum toxin type A, which blocks the nerves that trigger the sweat glands.

We also recommend Dysport injections even if you do not suffer from hyperhidrosis, but you are a public person and your appearance is extremely important to you, but sometimes sweating disrupts your daily routine, causes emotional distress and social withdrawal.

How is the procedure performed?

The skin at the injection site is treated with a disinfectant solution. Then a small amount of the drug is injected into the problem area with a thin needle. The number of injections is regulated by a cosmetic dermatologist. Most people don’t feel pain during the procedure but if necessary, topical anesthesia can be applied on the treated area.

The procedure for treating hyperhidrosis lasts no more than 40 minutes, after which you can go about your usual lifestyle and activities. The only warning for those involved in sports is that physical activity should be canceled for 5-7 days.

How long is the effect?

Each patient has different indicators – as a rule, the effect of blocking the sweat glands with Dysport lasts from 4 to 8 months. After that, to retain the effect, you’ll likely to repeat the treatment. In some of our patients, the hyperhidrosis no longer manifests itself so intensely even after the effect of the injections wears off.

If until now you have been tormented by the question of how to get rid of hyperhidrosis, we are waiting for you at our PRIZMA Medical Center for a consultation!
