Excessive sweating treatment 

Today a number of different treatment methods are available for excessive sweating.
 
Antiperspirants
Antiperspirants are the most common form of treatment for people who suffer from excessive sweating. They decrease the production of perspiration in the sweat glands. The duration of effect depends on the efficacy of the product.

Iontoforesis
Iontoforesis is a process where an ion current is run through the hands and feet, immersed in a bowl of water. The effect of reduced perspiration is most likely caused by the fact that the channels of the sweat glands become clogged with keratin during the treatment. The treatment needs to be repeated with regular intervals.

Botox
Botox (Botulinum toxin A) temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulates the sweat glands. The effect normally lasts several months.  

Surgery
Surgical removal of the sweat glands is only performed in very severe cases. It is usually performed in the armpits, but also severe hand and foot perspiration can be stopped surgically.
