Overview
Treatment options available to patients with primary hyperhidrosis
can be categorized as non-surgical (topical antiperspirants,
iontophoresis, systemic medication) or surgical (endoscopic
thoracic sympathectomy, excision of axillary tissue).[9]
Botulinum toxin injection, which can be said to be “minimally
invasive,”[99]
has become a therapy for patients who fail to respond to more-conservative treatment prior to resorting to surgery.[29,99]
The therapeutic alternatives also differ by duration of
efficacy, side effects, and response rate in the various anatomic
areas treated.[9,29,97]
