Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month 2018: Here’s What We Achieved
The second annual Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month (HhAM) in November 2018 may be over but the groundwork we’ve laid, with your help, is going to help make a difference for years to come. Check out our HhAM infographic for all the deets. We’re looking forward to continuing to improve hyperhidrosis awareness, education, research, and advocacy during every month of the year to come!
For the first time since 2004 when Botox® was FDA-approved for the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis and 2011 when the miraDry® medical device was FDA-cleared, the regulatory body has sanctioned a new treatment for excessive sweating. Medicine-infused Qbrexza™ “cloths” (from the biopharmaceutical company Dermira, Inc.) deliver an anticholinergic formulation to the sweat glands of the underarms to inhibit sweat production. Find out whether this is a good option for you!
If you or a loved one lives with excessive sweating, The Voice of the Hyperhidrosis Sufferer is your report. Your participation, feedback and support surrounding the International Hyperhidrosis Society's Patient-Focused Drug Development Meeting on Hyperhidrosis helped to make it possible and it reflects the experiences and insights of true experts – the people like you who live with and suffer with hyperhidrosis. It’s time now to take this report and share it – to demand change in care, awareness, and treatments.
From 1951 to the present, the International Hyperhidrosis Society has the most comprehensive collection of sweat-related research papers around – so you can learn what the scientists know, and don’t know, about Hh. Learn more about the importance of our Know Sweat Published Literature content and how you can use it to be more Hh-informed.
miraDry is a non-surgical treatment for underarm sweating. Studies have shown that, for underarms, miraDry can provide 82% reduction in sweating – permanently! Today, with the chance to win treatment, miraDry’s new comfort-enhancing protocol, and debut patient education events, there’s more to miraDry than ever before.
A newly-published research article in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology shows that hyperhidrosis patients wait YEARS (3 to 10 years, in fact) before seeking treatment and that some of the most commonly recommended treatments provide the least satisfaction. Read the full blog to discover all the key findings. Thank-you International Hyperhidrosis Society community for participating in this eye-opening study.
