Everyone sweats—it’s how the body regulates temperature. But for some people, sweating becomes excessive, uncontrollable, and embarrassing, even in cool environments or during rest. This condition, called hyperhidrosis, affects both men and women and can interfere with daily activities, confidence, and quality of life.

At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we understand that living with excessive sweating can be uncomfortable and emotionally draining. Fortunately, modern non-surgical treatments now make it possible to manage sweating effectively without the need for invasive procedures.

Why Choose Non-Surgical Treatments?

In the past, surgery was often considered the only permanent solution for severe sweating. However, surgical procedures—such as removing sweat glands or cutting nerves—carry potential risks and longer recovery times.

Non-surgical options, on the other hand, are:

• Safe and minimally invasive
• Performed in a clinic setting with no downtime
• Highly effective at reducing sweating in specific areas
• Customizable to suit each patient’s needs

At DRHC Dubai, our dermatology specialists use the latest non-surgical technologies to help patients achieve long-term comfort and confidence.

Comparing Non-Surgical Sweating Treatments

1. Botox Injections

How it works: Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands. It’s especially effective for the underarms, palms, feet, and face.

Benefits:

• Quick treatment—usually completed in 20–30 minutes
• Noticeable results within a few days
• Lasts around 6 to 9 months
• No downtime—patients can resume normal activities immediately

Ideal for: Those seeking a fast, reliable, and non-permanent option for targeted areas of excessive sweating.

2. MiraDry Treatment

How it works: MiraDry uses controlled microwave energy to eliminate the sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. These glands do not regenerate, providing a long-lasting reduction in both sweat and odor.

Benefits:

• Permanent results in most cases
• Non-surgical and needle-free
• Minimal discomfort during treatment
• No need for repeat sessions once results are achieved

Ideal for: Patients seeking a permanent, non-invasive solution for underarm sweating and odor.

3. Topical or Prescription Treatments

How they work: Certain prescription creams or roll-ons may help reduce sweating by temporarily blocking sweat ducts.

Benefits:

• Easy to apply at home
• Useful for mild sweating

Limitations:

• Often less effective for moderate to severe hyperhidrosis
• May cause skin irritation with long-term use

Ideal for: Individuals with mild symptoms or those who prefer a simple first-line approach.
