Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Dubai:

Hyperhidrosis treatments are intended to target the root cause of sweating. If no cause is found, the experts will target sweat-producing muscles and nerves to block their signals. Different treatment options are available. First of all, antiperspirants and medications are suggested; if they do not work effectively, then clinical therapies like Botox and laser are carried out for long-lasting results. 

How Dubai Climate Worsens Hyperhidrosis:

The high heat and humidity in Dubai interfere with the natural cooling mechanism of the body and worsen hyperhidrosis. The high humidity in the air does not evaporate your sweat, and as a result, your body temperature continues to rise. In response, the body’s glands produce more sweat and increase the amount of perspiration. Moreover, high temperatures directly trigger sweating and make you uncomfortable. 

Difference Between Hyperhidrosis and Normal Sweating:

Sweating is a natural cooling mechanism of the body that occurs during heat, exercise, or stress and stops when the trigger is gone. Hyperhidrosis is a biological disorder that causes unpredictable sweating without any physical activity and can occur at any time, even in cold weather. It results in visible sweat stains that lead to anxiety and nervousness. 

Affected Areas:

The most commonly affected areas of hyperhidrosis that require immediate treatment are: 

• Underarms: Lead to body smell and spots on clothes.
• Sweaty palms: Make simple tasks difficult and disrupt professionalism.
• Foot: Damages footwear and causes infections.  
• Forehead: Causes makeup to run and make pimples. 
• Scalp: Triggers itching and ruins hair composition

Updated Price List of Sweating Treatments in 2025:

Hyperhidrosis treatment cost differs for different types of treatments. The cost of Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis starts from 1999 AED and varies accordingly. 

Factors affecting cost 

• Type of treatment

Who needs Hyperhidrosis treatment?

Candidates suffering from the following conditions should immediately consult a doctor:

Case 1: Social embarrassment in shaking hands and participating in activities. 

Case 2: Difficulty in using the keyboard, working with tools, or writing with a pen.

Case 3: Skin irritation, chafing, and fungal infections with a smell. 

Note: Individuals with neuromuscular disorders, secondary hyperhidrosis, and active skin infections should avoid this treatment. 

How is hyperhidrosis diagnosed?

Starch iodine test: The expert will apply iodine solution and sprinkle some starch after it dries. In case of sweating, the solution will turn blue. 

Paper test: Paper is applied to a specific area, and then it is weighed after some time to measure sweat.

Why Summer is the Peak Time for Hyperhidrosis Treatment?

Hyperhidrosis can be triggered all year round, but during the summer, the symptoms get worse due to high temperatures. For a majority of individuals, antiperspirants and other remedies failed to work, so they seek medical treatments like Botox to block their sweat production for a few months. A single session of Botox will give relief during the hottest months of the year. 

Top Hyperhidrosis Solutions at Dynamic Life Clinics:

Antiperspirants: 

Prescription-strength antiperspirants are the first line of defense that contain higher concentrations of aluminum chloride. They are applied to dry skin, and the aluminum plugs the sweat ducts to reduce sweat for a certain amount of time. 

Botox Injection: 

Botox is the most effective treatment option that blocks the sweat-stimulating nerve signals. Measured units of Botox are injected into the affected areas that will control sweating for 6 to 7 months. 

Laser Treatment: 

Laser therapy uses controlled energy to destroy sweat and odor glands in the specific area. Its alternative is Miradry (microwave therapy), which destroys sweat production using microwave energy. 

ETS Surgery: 

Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy is a surgical technique for severe hyperhidrosis cases in which the surgeon clips the sympathetic nerves in the chest that cause sweating. Surgery can have some risks, like compensatory sweating. 

Recovery Time of Different Treatments:

• Antiperspirants: There is no recovery, but make sure to use the product on dry skin and keep it relaxed. 
• Botox: There is a minimum downtime of 24 hours, during which make sure to protect the injection site and avoid putting pressure on it. 
• Laser: The treated area will fully get better in a week, but you can return to your normal activities after one day. 
• Surgery: After surgery, you will recover in a few weeks. Make sure to strictly comply with your surgeon’s recommendations. 

After care for Sweat Free Healing:

• Avoid extreme physical activities for the first two days. 
• Use ice packs to manage swelling and soothe the area.
• Do not shave your treated area for a few days.
• Gently clean your body with mild soap and water.
• Use prescribed topical medications on time. 
• Use attire to safeguard your skin from the sun. 

Lifestyle tips to manage Sweating:

• Wear loose-fitted and light materials like cotton. 
• Use sweat-wicking base clothes. 
• Skip deodorants and use antiperspirants. 
• Stay hydrated to regulate body temperature. 
• Limit food items that can trigger your sweat production.
• Stay relaxed and do not get nervous.  

Alternatives Sweat Solutions:
