Treatment Overview

Treatment options available to patients with primary hyperhidrosis can be categorized as non-surgical (topical antiperspirants, iontophoresis, systemic medication) or surgical (endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, excision of axillary tissue).[9] Botulinum toxin injection, which can be said to be “minimally invasive,”[99] has become a therapy for patients who fail to respond to more-conservative treatment prior to resorting to surgery.[29,99] The therapeutic alternatives also differ by duration of efficacy, side effects, and response rate in the various anatomic areas treated.[9,29,97]
