Biosense Clinical Team Helps Answer the Question, "Can I Sweat Less?"

Hyperhidrosis

“Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is currently affecting about 3% of our population according to the Canadian and American data.” says Biosense Clinical Team. According to www.dermatology.ca, definition of Hyperhidrosis is a disorder that describes a person who sweats more than the body would normally need to maintain optimal temperature. “It causes embarrassment and affects a person’s social life. We receive phone calls and emails from clients in regards to treatment options to cope with this situation.” says the Clinical Team.  There are two types of hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis affects areas like underarms, hands, feet, and face and cause is unknown. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by other underlying medical condition or medication. “In terms of topical treatment options, topical antiperspirants are usually the typical ones. Aluminum salt containing products work by obstructing sweat glands and prevent sweating. Potential side effects including skin irritation may occur. We suggest clients to ensure affected area is completely dry before application. Apply at bedtime and wash off in the morning.” Says Biosense Clinical Team. “Glycopyrrolate topical application is another treatment option that has also been proven clinically. It can penetrate the skin to block the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands, resulting in a reduction of sweat secretion. Clinical studies show good tolerance with minimal side effects. Common side effect is dry mouth.” says Biosense Clinical Team. “Clients are encouraged to check with and follow up with their medical practitioner for other options.”
