MANAGE EXCESSIVE SWEATING
WITH GLOWWIS HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT OPTIONS
At Glowwis, we provide two types of treatment to address Hyperhidrosis. Each patient will be assessed by our MOH-certified doctor, Dr. Sam Pradeep to ensure the best approach and most suitable treatment according to their goals and conditions.
NEUROTOXIN (BOTOX)
Neurotoxin (Botox) is an effective treatment to manage hyperhidrosis, particularly in areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. The mechanism of action involves the temporary blocking of nerve signals to the sweat glands, reducing their activity and subsequently decreasing sweat production. Our doctor will carefully administer the Botox injections in the targeted regions. Once injected, Botox temporarily paralyses the nerves that control sweat production. This effect is reversible and wears off over time as the nerve endings regenerate.
GOLD PLATED MICRO NEEDLE RF
Gold Plated Micro Needle RF treatment encourages skin rejuvenation and tightening. Within the treated areas, heat is produced by the radiofrequency energy. The heat released during this process impacts your sweat glands by making them less active. Skin tightening may also be facilitated by the procedure's effects on collagen production.

General Habits to prevent Hyperhidrosis
USE ANTIPERSPIRANTS
Using prescription antiperspirants on affected areas helps to reduce excessive sweating as these products normally contain aluminum chloride to control sweat.
WEAR BREATHABLE FABRICS
Wear loose, breathable fabrics made of natural materials like cotton. These materials allow air circulation and can help keep the body cooler.
KEEP THE BODY COOL
To regulate the body temperature, it is best to stay in a cooler environment with fans and air conditioning and avoid going out in hot and humid weather.
LIMIT SPICY FOODS AND CAFFEINE
Some individuals find that avoiding or limiting the consumption of spicy foods and caffeine can help reduce excessive sweating. These substances can act as triggers for some people.
MANAGE STRESS
Breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga are great ways to manage stress. Doing so will help keep stress levels under control which also helps in preventing Hyperhidrosis.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
To avoid increased perspiration, maintain a healthy weight by consuming a nutritious, balanced diet and exercising regularly.
How to Treat Hyperhidrosis
The treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the areas affected. Dr. Sam recommends these approaches to manage the issue:
1
TOPICAL TREATMENTS
Topical medications, such as glycopyrrolate, can be applied to the skin to reduce sweating. These may be available in the form of wipes or creams.
2
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Sweating can be reduced by maintaining a healthy weight and making lifestyle adjustments like wearing breathable clothing and practicing stress management.
3
CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL
A consultation with a professional will help to determine the causes and best approaches to treat Hyperhidrosis.

FAQs
How is hyperhidrosis diagnosed?
A qualified healthcare provider can identify hyperhidrosis by reviewing the patient's medical history, performing a physical examination, and, in certain situations, running further tests such as the thermoregulatory sweat test or the starch-iodine test.
Is hyperhidrosis a serious medical condition?
While hyperhidrosis itself is not life-threatening, it can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. It may lead to social and emotional challenges, and in some cases, it can contribute to skin issues.
Can hyperhidrosis treatment completely eliminate sweating?
While hyperhidrosis treatments can significantly reduce sweating, complete elimination of sweating is generally not the goal. The aim is to manage and normalise sweating to a more comfortable level.
Is hyperhidrosis treatment permanent?
The effectiveness and duration of hyperhidrosis treatments vary. While some treatments provide long-lasting results, others, such as Botox injections, may require periodic retreatment.
