Project Description
There are some simple things you can do to improve symptoms of excessive sweating. Some excessive sweating can be kept under control with antiperspirant, which contains aluminum chloride to clog the sweat glands. Armpit shields can also be worn to protect your clothing from perspiration. Avoiding synthetic fibers such as nylon can also diminish sweating, since natural fibers allow skin to breathe. Wearing socks that absorb sweat and allow the feet to breathe is another helpful tip. Surgery has also been used to cut the nerves leading to sweat glands, but this is invasive and requires downtime.
Today the most promising treatment is Botox, which shows outstanding results with no downtime. The procedure only takes about ten minutes and is completely safe. At Kwan Dermatology, we can assist you in treating your excessive sweating with Botox or other available treatments. If you are experiencing excessive sweating, please contact us to set up a consultation with one of our specialists to determine the best treatment for your condition.
