What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It commonly affects areas such as:
- Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis)
- Hands (Palmar Hyperhidrosis)
- Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis)
- Face & Scalp
For many people, hyperhidrosis can cause discomfort, social anxiety, and difficulty in daily activities. The good news? Safe and effective treatments are available at Dermalase to help manage and reduce excessive sweating.

Causes of Excessive Sweating
Hyperhidrosis can be caused by overactive sweat glands or underlying medical conditions. It can be classified into two main types based on its underlying causes:
Primary Hyperhidrosis
This form of hyperhidrosis has no identifiable medical cause and is often hereditary.
1. It results from overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system, particularly the eccrine sweat glands.
2. It usually affects specific areas like underarms, hands, and feet..
3. Symptoms often start in childhood or adolescence and may persist into adulthood.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis
This type occurs due to an underlying medical condition or as a side effect of certain medications.
Common causes include:
1. Endocrine disorders (e.g., hyperthyroidism, diabetes)
2. Neurological conditions (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, stroke)
3. Infections (e.g., tuberculosis, HIV)
4. Medications (e.g., antidepressants, antipyretics)
5. Obesity or metabolic disorders
6. Hormonal changes (e.g., menopause, pregnancy)
Unlike primary hyperhidrosis, secondary hyperhidrosis can affect the entire body and may occur during sleep.
Best Non-Surgical Treatments for Hyperhidrosis at Dermalase
Hyperhidrosis is a manageable condition with various treatment options tailored to individual needs. While mild cases can often be controlled with topical treatments and lifestyle changes, severe cases may require medical or surgical intervention. Consulting a healthcare professional can help determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient. At Dermalase, we conduct a detailed evaluation to determine the cause of excessive sweating and suggest the best treatment options for long-lasting relief. Treatment for hyperhidrosis depends on the severity of symptoms and the underlying cause. Available options at Dermalae include:
Botox for Sweating – The Gold Standard Treatment
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) injections for hyperhidrosis are an FDA-approved treatment to block the nerve signals responsible for excessive sweating. Dr. Shumaila Khan is a leading expert in using Botox for hyperhidrosis, ensuring safe and effective results.
- Quick, Non-Surgical Procedure
- Reduces Sweat Production for up to six months
- Safe for Underarms, Hands, Feet & Face
- Effective for underarm, hand, and foot sweating.
- Effects last for several months and require repeated treatments.
- Minimal Downtime & Long-Lasting Results
How Does Botox Work for Hyperhidrosis?
- Botox injections block nerve signals that trigger sweat production.
- The treatment takes only 20-30 minutes.
- Sweating reduces within a few days, with full effects in 1-2 weeks.
Botox for excessive sweating is one of the most effective and widely used treatments for hyperhidrosis.
Topical & Prescription Medications for Hyperhidrosis
For mild to moderate hyperhidrosis, topical treatments and prescription medications can help:
- Antiperspirants with Aluminum Chloride – Help block sweat ducts , commonly used for mild to moderate hyperhidrosis.
- Prescription Creams and wipes- These contain glycopyrrolate, which helps reduce excessive sweating, particularly for facial, scalp and underarm hyperhidrosis.
- Oral Medications – Medications like oxybutynin and glycopyrrolate help block nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands.
- Beta-Blockers and Benzodiazepines: Used for stress-induced sweating by reducing anxiety and nervous system overactivity.
While these treatments can help manage mild hyperhidrosis, they may not be effective for severe cases. For long-term relief, Botox injections are the gold standard.
Iontophoresis
- Involves passing a mild electrical current through water while the affected body parts (hands or feet) are submerged.
- Helps temporarily disable sweat glands.
- Regular sessions are required for sustained results.
Microwave Therapy (miraDry)
- Uses microwave energy to destroy sweat glands permanently.
- Mostly used for underarm hyperhidrosis.
- May require multiple sessions.

- Avoid Spicy Foods & Caffeine – Can trigger excessive sweating
- Manage Stress – Practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation
