What are cures for hyperhidrosis?

Answer 1

Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) is suffered by a large percentage of the population and although it can not be cured sweating can be reduced to a normal volume.

The main ways sweating can be reduced is through use of a precription anti-persperiant from your doctore, or a good non prescription antiperspearnt made specifically for excessive persperiation such as dryclor, mitchilum, triple-dry ect which can be picked up at your local chemist and are supposed to be applied before bed and washed off in the morning.

Another (more expensive) alternative is botox, which is most commonly used to prevent wrinkles but works jusrt aswell on sweat pores and prevents you from sweting. This has obvious advantages such as the effects lasting for several months but disadvantages include the cost of the treatment which is only tempoary and would need to be repeated every several months to maintain the effects.

Answer 2

Sorry, but the answer is no.

There are several things that do work well for excessive sweating.

1. A strong antiperspirant like Mon Ray Antiperspirant

2. Botox.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where a person sweats excessively, much more than the body needs to regulate its temperature. Excessive sweating usually doesn't pose a serious threat to person's health but it can be embarrassing and inconvenient.

A proven treatment option for excessive sweating when antiperspirants fail is - BOTOX!

Botulinum toxin type-A, commonly known as 'Botox', a treatment given by injection into the skin, approved by US FDA for treating localized hyperhidrosis of the armpits (axilla).

Botox is a preparation of protein which, when small doses are injected into the skin, does not let the chemical messenger reach the nerves that supply the sweat glands; this prevents the glands from producing sweat in the treated area. The sweat continues to be produced elsewhere in the body as Botox does not spread throughout the body.

The treatment is not a cure for hyperhidrosis but provides relief for four to eight months following treatment.

Since Axilla (underarm sweating) contributes very little to the overall temperature regulation and release of salt from the body, minimizing sweating in this area is harmless.

Frequency of treatment: results of one treatment session last for four to eight months.
