In quantitative terms, sweating disorders can be expressed as anhidrosis (loss of the ability to excrete sweat), hypohidrosis and hyperhidrosis.

Patients with  complaints of essential (idiopathic) hyperhidrosis – when sweat production increases due to a malfunction of the sweat glands.  This type of hyperhidrosis is generalized, but prevails in one zone:

  • axillary (axillary)
  • palmar and plantar

The way an antiperspirant works for excessive sweating is to constrict the ducts of the sweat glands and prevent the release of sweat. It's happening  due to the content of aluminum chloride in antiperspirants, which has an astringent, tightening effect on the walls of the channels of the sweat glands.  In addition, most antiperspirants will contain antibacterial ingredients that will help eliminate body odor.

Iontophoresis allows drugs that act on the sweat glands to pass through the skin with a gentle application of direct current.

Surgical methods involve cutting or injuring nerve endings that stimulate the sweat glands.  Treatment of hyperhidrosis with surgical methods is less common today, since they require serious anesthesia, are highly traumatic and can be complicated by compensatory hyperhidrosis.

Treating hyperhidrosis with the help of laser technologies is much more effective, since the latest developed methods make it possible to destroy sweat gland cells and combat excessive sweating in 1-2 procedures, without compensatory reactions and with quick rehabilitation.

Excessive sweating is well treated in many cases by microinjection botulinum toxin preparations that block the sweat glands.

Thus, the problem of excessive sweating today has ample opportunities for solving  - from its reduction to complete blockage, and therefore for each individual patient and his specific situation, you can find the right treatment.
