Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excess sweating, above and beyond what is needed for healthy temperature regulation in the body. This condition can affect any part of the body, but is most often found to affect the palms of the hands, soles of the feet or the armpits. The condition most often arises in childhood or adolescence and can be socially crippling to those who suffer with it. It can be difficult to meet a new person and shake hands when your palms are dripping with sweat. Though there are many treatment options for Hyperhidrosis in Naperville, liposuction treatment has proven to be the most successful.
How Can Liposuction Treat Hyperhidrosis?
One of the major causes of Hyperhidrosis is the eccrine sweat glands. These glands begin sending water to the surface of your skin when your body temperature rises. In people with Hyperhidrosis, excess amounts of water are sent and often when the body is not even warm. Instead of going under the knife to remove these sweat glands, subcutaneous liposuction can be performed. This procedure removes as much as a third of the eccrine sweat glands in certain areas of the body. Though these glands are removed, there are still plenty of eccrine glands to effectively keep your body at a safe temperature. By removing these glands, excess sweating is brought under control, so you never have to worry about embarrassing wetness and odor.
Through this surgery, sweating in the armpits, hands and feet can be reduced by as much as ninety percent. This procedure is done under a local anesthetic and normally only takes one treatment. This safe procedure for Hyperhidrosis in Naperville has a high success rate and is not an invasive treatment. This type of liposuction is performed in much the same way as the type that removes fat cells. The main difference is, the cannula is used near the top of the skin, so the eccrine sweat glands are removed.
