Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Singapore

What causes hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating?

Sweating is a natural way for the body to cool down. However, in some cases, the sweat glands do not stop sweating even if there's no reason for them to. This is called hyperhidrosis.

Hyperhidrosis can be caused by different factors. It can be inherited, or you can get it from some health conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, anxiety disorders, or menopause.

Treatments for hyperhidrosis in Singapore

If there is an underlying cause to hyperhidrosis, the contributing health condition will be treated first. But for overactive sweat glands, treatment focuses on controlling how much a person sweats.

Botox is an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. These injections block the nerves that trigger the nerve signals responsible for sweating, stopping the sweat glands from producing too much sweat. Botox has been shown to result in an 82-87% decrease in sweating, and can even be used for sweaty palms.

Is there a permanent cure for hyperhidrosis?

Some people with hyperhidrosis are lucky and their condition goes away on its own. But for most people with excessive sweating, it is not likely that the problem will go away without treatment.

There are different treatments available, but they vary in their permanence. Botox usually needs to be done again every 6 months, while more permanent treatments like Sympathectomies usually require a Neurosurgery consult.
