Hyperhydrosis
What is it? Excessive sweating beyond physiologic need for thermoregulation; present in 1% of men and 1% of women.
What causes it? Genetics, emotional and physical stress can worsen it and it's usually in the armpits.
Why is it a problem? It is embarrassing, interferes with dating and intimacy, and limits the texture, color and style of your clothing.
What is the treatment?
Our approach....
-
Step 1: Topical Aluminum Chloride 20-25% (such as Drysol)
-
Step 2: Botulinum Toxin A (such as Botox or Jeuveau)
-
May start at step 2 in severe cases.
-
100 units per armpit; currently $10/unit. Results should last at least 4 months.
