What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a condition in which an abnormally large amount of sweat is secreted, far exceeding what is required for normal heat balance. It can sometimes exceed up to 40 times the normal amount. It can cause considerable emotional stress, making the patient’s personal, work and social life difficult, even leading to avoidance of activities such as shaking hands. A quantitative definition of hyperhidrosis is the secretion of more than 50 mg of sweat per minute.
Hyperhidrosis is caused by an overactivity of the eccrine glands, mainly in the armpits, hands, and feet. The most frequent form is ideopathic.

What are the treatments for hyperhidrosis?
Traditional therapies used to treat hyperhidrosis are multiple, but often prove unhelpful and unrewarding. Treatment should aim to improve the patient’s social discomfort.
The newest treatment that has become established in recent years for severe focal hyperhidrosis is cutaneous chemical denervation. It offers a safe alternative to surgical treatments and is another option for hyperhidrosis resistant to topical treatments.
By acting on motor neurons, it blocks the secretion of acetylcholine to peripheral cholinergic synapses and blocks neurotransmission. Inhibiting the release of acetylcholine blocks the innervation of the eccrine glands and decreases sweating.

Application of treatment for hyperhidrosis
The onset of the anhidrotic effect begins to be noticed 24-48h after treatment and the maximum response is reached after 7 days.
The average duration of the anhidrotic effect is 4-6 months, although the efficacy of the second treatment after 6 months is usually greater due to a cumulative effect.
