What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate the body’s temperature. In individuals with hyperhidrosis, sweating occurs too frequently and in amounts significantly greater than required for temperature regulation, leading to a formal diagnosis. Most commonly, these affected regions are the underarms or the palms of the hands. While the rest of the body may remain dry, these select areas can literally drip with sweat, creating noticeable and often embarrassing situations.

Benefits of Hyperhidrosis Treatments
Hyperhidrosis can profoundly interfere with everyday activities; for instance, underarm sweat often soaks through clothes, causing obvious sweat marks, while sweaty palms can create the unwelcome appearance of nervousness or a lack of confidence in both professional and social settings. Treatments for excessive sweating at MOY MD offer a variety of benefits, significantly improving quality of life for those affected by hyperhidrosis. Our comprehensive approach aims to reduce sweat production and alleviate the associated discomfort and embarrassment.
Topical Treatment Options for Hyperhidrosis
At MOY MD, our board-certified and fellowship-trained dermatologists offer a range of effective treatment options for hyperhidrosis, tailored to significantly reduce excessive sweating and restore your comfort. We focus on providing personalized care to find the most suitable solution for your specific needs.
Topical prescription-strength antiperspirants are often the initial approach for managing excessive sweating of the underarms, hands, and feet. These are the least invasive treatment option and are frequently recommended as a first step. They work by temporarily blocking sweat ducts, thereby reducing the amount of sweat released. If these topical solutions do not provide sufficient relief, our specialists will discuss and recommend more advanced treatment modalities.
Qbrexza is a modern topical medication, delivered via a convenient cloth, specifically approved for axillary (armpit) hyperhidrosis in patients aged 9 years and older. Applied once daily under each arm, Qbrexza contains an anticholinergic medication that directly acts on the sweat glands to decrease sweat production. This method offers a simple, targeted way to manage underarm sweating.
Botox and Dysport Injections for Hyperhidrosis
Botox and Dysport injections represent highly effective and popular methods for controlling localized hyperhidrosis, particularly in challenging areas such as the underarms and palms. These neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that instruct sweat glands to produce sweat. When the glands cease receiving these signals, sweat production in the targeted areas is dramatically reduced, helping your skin stay dry. Importantly, sweat production continues normally in untreated regions of the skin, maintaining overall body temperature regulation.
To ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, the skin is typically numbed and cooled with ice prior to the injections. For most patients, a single session of Botox or Dysport injections is sufficient to achieve significant results, with the reduction in sweating typically lasting between 6 and 9 months before gradually returning. This provides a long-lasting and highly convenient solution for many individuals seeking relief from excessive sweating.
