Excessive sweating, medically known as Hyperhidrosis, is a condition where the body sweats more than is necessary to regulate body temperature. This can manifest as constantly damp armpits, perpetually wet palms and soles, or profuse facial sweating, often without any clear trigger. Beyond the physical discomfort, hyperhidrosis can lead to significant social anxiety, embarrassment, stained clothing, and a profound impact on daily activities and overall quality of life.
At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we understand the distress that hyperhidrosis can cause. Our expert dermatologists offer comprehensive and personalized Hyperhidrosis Treatment plans designed to effectively control excessive sweating, restore your comfort, and help you regain confidence in social and professional settings. You don't have to live with the constant worry of excessive sweat.
You might benefit from our specialized treatments if you experience:
Excessive underarm sweating (Axillary Hyperhidrosis): Constantly wet armpits, visible sweat marks on clothing.
Sweaty palms (Palmar Hyperhidrosis): Hands that are frequently damp, making tasks like shaking hands, writing, or handling papers difficult.
Sweaty feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis): Persistently wet soles, leading to discomfort, odor, and increased risk of fungal infections.
Excessive facial sweating or head sweating: Sweating profusely on the face or scalp.
Sweating that interferes with daily activities, work, social interactions, or personal relationships.
Sweating that occurs even when you're not hot or exercising.
Unresponsiveness to regular antiperspirants.
Hyperhidrosis is primarily categorized into two types:
Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: This is the most common form. It typically begins in childhood or adolescence and affects specific areas like the armpits, palms, soles, or face/head. The exact cause is unknown, but it's believed to be due to overactive sweat glands, often without any underlying medical condition. It tends to run in families.
Secondary Generalized Hyperhidrosis: This type of excessive sweating occurs all over the body or in broader areas and is usually caused by an underlying medical condition (e.g., thyroid problems, diabetes, menopause, certain cancers, infections) or as a side effect of medication. Our dermatologists can help identify if this is the case and refer you for appropriate medical evaluation.
At AdvanCell, your journey to controlled sweating begins with a thorough and compassionate consultation. Our expert dermatologists will conduct a detailed assessment, understand your sweating patterns, severity, and medical history, and rule out any underlying secondary causes. Based on this, we will develop a personalized treatment strategy that is tailored to your specific type of hyperhidrosis and areas of concern, ensuring the most effective and safe outcome.
We offer a range of clinically proven, non-surgical treatments to manage hyperhidrosis effectively:
Medical-Grade Topical Antiperspirants:
Mechanism: These are often the first line of treatment. They contain higher concentrations of aluminum chloride than over-the-counter products, which temporarily block sweat ducts.
Benefits: Can be very effective for mild to moderate axillary hyperhidrosis. Our dermatologists can guide you on proper application for best results.
Botox Injections (Botulinum Toxin Injections):
Mechanism: This highly effective treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands. The effect lasts for several months.
Ideal for: Primarily for severe axillary hyperhidrosis (underarms), but also highly effective for palmar (hands) and plantar (feet) hyperhidrosis.
Process: Our dermatologists precisely inject small amounts of Botox into the affected area using very fine needles. The procedure is quick, and discomfort is minimized with topical anesthesia or ice.
Benefits: Significant and long-lasting reduction in sweating, often by 80-90%, with results appearing within days to two weeks.
Oral Medications (Anticholinergics):
Mechanism: These medications work systemically by blocking the chemical messenger (acetylcholine) that stimulates sweat glands throughout the body.
Consideration: Prescribed by our dermatologists for more widespread sweating or when other treatments are insufficient. Requires careful consideration due to potential side effects (e.g., dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation).
Iontophoresis:
Mechanism: Involves immersing the hands or feet in shallow trays of water while a mild electrical current is passed through the water. This temporarily blocks sweat ducts.
Ideal for: Primarily for palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis. Requires regular, consistent sessions, often at home with a device.
Benefits: Non-invasive, medication-free, can be very effective for hands and feet.
Significant Reduction in Sweating: Achieve dryness and comfort in affected areas.
Improved Confidence & Self-Esteem: Eliminate the worry and embarrassment associated with excessive sweating.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Enjoy daily activities, social interactions, and professional life without hindrance.
Less Clothing Damage: Protect your clothes from sweat stains.
Non-Surgical Solutions: Avoid invasive procedures with minimal to no downtime.
