Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be a condition that profoundly affects the quality of life and emotional well-being of those who suffer from it.
In Panama, Dr. Diana Tejada and her team at Dermomédica are dedicated to providing advanced and effective treatments for this condition, allowing patients to regain confidence and comfort in their everyday lives.
What is Hyperhidrosis or Excessive Sweating?
Hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature.
It can affect various areas of the body, including the hands, feet, armpits, and face, occurring even in resting conditions or cool temperatures.
Types of Hyperhidrosis
- Primary: Unrelated to other medical conditions, it often focuses on specific areas and may have a genetic component.
- High school: Result of an underlying medical condition or the use of certain medications.
Causes and Triggers
Primary hyperhidrosis can be caused by genetic factors, while secondary hyperhidrosis is associated with conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, or infections.
Stress and certain medications can also exacerbate sweating.
How Is Hyperhidrosis Treated?
At Dermomédica you will find a range of personalized treatments, selected according to the severity of the condition and the areas affected.
Topical Therapies & Medications
Antiperspirants with high concentrations of aluminum chloride may be prescribed for localized areas or oral medications that inhibit widespread sweating.
These options are often the first step in treatment.
Botulinum Toxin Therapy
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is one of the most effective and fast-acting treatments for hyperhidrosis, especially in the armpits.
This is a procedure in which small doses are injected into the affected area, temporarily blocking the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.
This treatment can provide relief for several months and can be repeated as needed.
Surgical Procedures
For severe cases of hyperhidrosis, especially when it is located in the hands or armpits, thoracic sympathectomy, a procedure that disrupts the nerve signals that cause excessive sweating, may be considered.
At Dermomédica, we understand the challenges our patients with hyperhidrosis face. Our team is committed to providing compassionate care and personalized solutions to significantly improve the quality of life for those suffering from excessive sweating.
