Effective hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treatments in New Orleans dermatology practice

By

It is not unusual for everyone to sweat. Sweating helps to cool the body down. However, there are times when patients in the New Orleans area feel as though their body goes into overdrive and excessive sweating becomes the norm. Excessive sweating is a condition that is better known as hyperhidrosis and affects millions of Americans.

Hyperhidrosis is a term used when diagnosis of excessive sweating is made. Excessive sweating is something that patients cannot control. Those diagnosed with the condition are individuals who continue to sweat daily even when not exerting energy or feeling warm. They may be unable to control their sweating with standard over-the-counter antiperspirants. Another common problem with hyperhidrosis is staining of clothing. Patients with excessive sweating find over time that their wardrobe consists of dark, breathable fabrics because of their condition.

Patients with hyperhidrosis should not be embarrassed about seeking a solution through a board certified dermatologist; such as Dr. Mary Lupo of the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology. Dr. Mary Lupo can provide proper diagnosis and treatments for patients who are suffering from hyperhidrosis.

Treatment of hyperhidrosis will vary greatly depending on the severity of the condition and the location. They may include solutions like:
  • Botox injections – injections of this neuromodulator can reduce the nerve triggers that result in sweat in the underarm area, offering results for many months before reinjection is needed.
  • Prescription drugs – medications may be used to get the sweat gland production under control from the inside out
  • Prescription antiperspirants – over-the-counter antiperspirants may not be strong enough to provide effective results, during which Dr. Mary Lupo may provide prescription-strength solutions
  • Topical creams – topical creams may be applied in the area of concern to reduce sweating
  • Iontophoresis – treatment with electric pulses can disable the sweat glands in the area and reduce overall perspiration
  • Surgery – as a last resort, patients with severe cases of hyperhidrosis may benefit from permanent surgery to remove sweat glands
Patients located in the area of New Orleans, LA who experience excessive sweating are encouraged to get a proper diagnosis and discuss with a board certified dermatologist the advantages of treatment. Dr. Mary Lupo is proud to assist men and women with hyperhidrosis treatment and help improve their overall quality of life.

Review From Anne R.
Dr. Mary Lupo and her staff performed Fraxel laser on my face and I had incredible results. The service, which is the brand Fraxel, isn't the least expensive in the city, but when done correctly by a professional like Dr. Lupo, the money is well spent. For me, I had issues with age spots and melasma, which were significantly diminished in one treatment--as well as fine lines around my eyes. My face looked young and bouncy and bright. For Dr. Lupo, this is a craft and she spends time with her patients, giving them the best results possible. I'd highly recommend her and this service to anyone.
