What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that occurs even in cool temperatures or without physical exertion. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the underarms, palms, feet, and face. It can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort, making everyday activities challenging.

Our Hyperhidrosis Treatments

1. Botox Injections

Botox is a well-known treatment for excessive sweating, particularly in the underarms. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the affected areas, blocking the nerves that trigger sweat production. Results typically last several months, and many patients experience a significant reduction in sweating after just one treatment.

2. miraDry

miraDry is a revolutionary, non-invasive procedure designed specifically for treating underarm sweating. This treatment uses microwave technology to target and eliminate sweat glands permanently. The procedure is quick, usually lasting about an hour, and requires little downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities almost immediately.

3. Prescription Antiperspirants

For mild cases of hyperhidrosis, prescription-strength antiperspirants may be recommended. These products contain higher concentrations of aluminum chloride, which effectively reduces sweating.

During your initial consultation at Metroderm DC:

• Our dermatologists will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your sweating patterns and medical history.
• We will discuss the various treatment options available and help you select the one that best fits your needs.

Preparation and Aftercare

To prepare for your hyperhidrosis treatment:
