What to do with excessive armpit (axillary) sweating?
For those patients whose main problem is excessive armpit sweating (Medically known as Axillary Hyperhidrosis) ETS is not the right solution. For those patients the local procedure known as suction curretage is the best approach. With this procedure scraping or suctioning of the sweat gland in the armpit region should be done as the first approach only if conservative measures such as Drysol or Botox failed. The advantage of the suction curretage over ETS is that the success rate is higher, there are almost no generalized side effects such as compensatory sweating and thermo-regulation problems are not a side effect. The operation is done under general anesthesia, it takes about an hour and it involves two small cuts in each armpit. This procedure is offered by hyperhidrosis expert Dr. Reisfeld in Los Angeles.
