If you’re sweating through shirts faster than you can buy them or avoiding handshakes when meeting with friends, it might be time to consider that it’s not you: it’s your overactive sweat glands.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, affects countless people, creating frustration and disruption in day-to-day life. At Total Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, we offer proven solutions for excessive sweating treatment in Fargo, including wrinkle relaxers and the game-changing treatment, MiraDry.
If sweat crashes your workdays, downtime, or first dates, we’ll help you take control, and maybe ditch that backup shirt.
The Real Impact of Excessive Sweating
Sweating is your body’s natural way to cool down and regulate your internal temperature. It’s an automatic response to certain conditions, like warm weather, exercise, stress, and strong emotions, like fear or anger.
However, sometimes our body starts sweating and just won’t stop, even when there’s no real reason for sweat. This condition, hyperhidrosis, is typically characterized by excessive sweating in 1 or 2 different parts of the body.
Though sweat might not seem like a big deal, sweating all the time without cause can affect your quality of life. It can make you feel stressed, anxious, and even depressed.
When you have hyperhidrosis in your hands, you might be nervous to shake someone’s hand or might find it difficult to use a computer properly. All of those effects take a toll on your mental well-being.
Thankfully, Total Skin offers treatments that help reduce the sweating caused by hyperhidrosis.
Wrinkle Relaxers for Sweat Control
Though popular for their aesthetic uses, wrinkle relaxers like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are also used to control excessive sweating. The treatment involves injecting the relaxer into the areas affected by hyperhidrosis, which often include the underarms, palms, or feet.
These injections block nerve signals to sweat glands, helping reduce excessive sweating in targeted areas for months at a time. This leads to a noticeable reduction in sweating. Studies have shown that these injections can result in an 82% to 87% decrease in sweating.
A single treatment can provide relief for up to 6 months. Maintenance sessions are available if symptoms begin to return.
MiraDry for Permanent Underarm Relief
MiraDry is an FDA-cleared hyperhidrosis treatment that works to permanently reduce underarm sweat and odor by eliminating sweat glands. This advanced treatment uses electromagnetic energy to target and destroy sweat glands in the underarms.
We use a hand-held device to deliver precise and controlled electromagnetic energy beneath the underarm skin to specific areas with localized sweat glands. The result is “thermolysis,” or decomposition by heat, of the targeted sweat glands.
This offers a long-lasting, nonsurgical solution for hyperhidrosis in the armpits, with no incisions or downtime required.
It’s Time to Stop Sweating the Small Stuff
Excessive sweating doesn’t have to be something you “just live with” or work your life around. Whether you’re drawn to the quick relief of wrinkle relaxers or the lasting impact of MiraDry, our team at Total Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics will guide you towards a solution that truly works for you.
