Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for this condition. Typically, this might occur over the armpits or the palms. If you have this condition, you could sweat profusely and unpredictably, even when it's cool outside or you're at rest. You might be producing more body odour as a result, which could lower your self-esteem.
- Botox: Botox produces a transient effect that lasts for up to 6 months. Appropriate for all hyperhydrosis surfaces, including the palms, soles of feet, and armpits.
- Laser Lipolysis: This is a more long-lasting option that is solely appropriate for the armpit region. The sweat glands beneath the skin are heated, which lessens the amount of perspiration that may be produced there. Results will last for at least two years. For a longer-lasting benefit, repeated treatments might be required in some patients.
