Dr. Baumgartner, Board Certified by both the American Board of surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, is a recipient of "AMERICA'S TOP SURGEONS" award and is the foremost leader in his field. Dr. Baumgartner utilizes the most advanced, minimally invasive endoscopic techniques using micro incisions that reduce muscle and tissue disruption. This procedure involves little bleeding which contributes to less post-operative pain and reduced recovery time with minimal to no scarring. Patients enjoy quality results, immediately!. Sweaty palms is a condition referred to as Palmar Hyperhidrosis . This medical condition is caused by hyperactive sympathetic nervous activity over sweat glands of the hands.

This procedure can now be performed safely as an outpatient, same day basis.

42. Botulinum Toxin For Hyperhidrosis Botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis. Clinical bottom line. 1996; 17112. Table 1 Randomised, double blind trials of botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis. Reference. http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/neurol/hyperhid.html

@import "../../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation Botulinum toxin for hyperhidrosis Clinical bottom line On the basis of limited information from four randomised studies, botulinum toxin appears to be effective for hyperhidrosis Several strains of botulinum toxin exist, the most commonly used in medicine are botulinum toxin A and B. Botulinum toxin A is commercially manufactured as Botox and Dysport. These are different agents, with one mouse unit of botox being approximately equivalent to three mouse units of dysport. The toxin is licensed as a treatment for a number of indications, mainly dystonias and spasm, but is also commonly used for cosmetic reasons to reduce the effects of ageing. When injected into muscle the toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This reduces muscle tone, which alleviates symptoms. It has been assumed that botulinum toxin will also inhibit other cholinergic mechanisms, such as sweat production. Hyperhidrosis is a rare condition in which large quantities of water and electrolytes are exuded from the body. In severe cases, hands and feet may drip with secretions. The condition has a considerable emotional and social burden. When other treatments have failed, surgical intervention is possible but the risk of compensatory sweating in other areas exists. Another possibility is to use botulinum toxin. Search PubMed was searched for randomised, double blind, controlled trials of botulinum toxin for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Free text terms included 'botulinum toxin', 'botox', 'dysport' and 'hyperhidrosis'.

It turns out that a surprising number of people share the embarrassing problem of hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. And researchers now report that the disorder is genetic. "Traditionally, this syndrome was thought of as stress-related and has not been taken seriously by the medical community," says lead researcher Samuel S. Ahn, MD, a professor in UCLA's division of vascular surgery. "This is one of the first studies helping to support that 'sweaty palms' is a real physiological disorder that can be passed from generation to generation." With colleagues from UCLA's department of human genetics, Ahn discovered that as much as 5% of the population much higher than the suspected 1% suffer from some form of hyperhidrosis.

Hyperhidrosis Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy Procedure Process ... Success Stories Hyperhidrosis Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which a person experiences excessive sweating in their hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), underarms (axillary), face and/or feet (plantar). Everyone perspires more when they get nervous or excited or when they exercise, but people with hyperhidrosis perspire excessively, often for no apparent reason. The sympathetic nervous system, which controls involuntary responses such as sweating, blushing, and salivation, simply fails to regulate sweating in the body’s extremities. Consequently, people with hyperhidrosis often experience sweating so severe that it becomes a source of embarrassment, making them reluctant to shake or touch hands. It also can interfere with everyday activities such as writing, driving, taking tests, making presentations or even holding or grasping objects. The severity of the condition varies from person to person, but in most cases the sweating proves problematic both socially and professionally. The prevalence of hyperhidrosis is not well-documented, but it is estimated to affect up to one percent of the U.S. population. People with hyperhidrosis tend to have a family member with symptoms as well.

Encyclopedia Index H Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index H Hyperhidrosis Definition A disorder marked by excessive sweating. It usually begins at puberty and affects the palms, soles, and armpits. Description Sweating is the body's way of cooling itself and is a normal response to a hot environment or intense exercise . However, excessive sweating unrelated to these conditions can be a problem for some people. Those with constantly moist hands may feel uncomfortable shaking hands or touching, while others with sweaty armpits and feet may have to contend with the unpleasant odor that results from the bacterial breakdown of sweat and cellular debris (bromhidrosis). People with hyperhidrosis often must change their clothes at least once a day, and their shoes can be ruined by the excess moisture. Hyperhidrosis may also contribute to such skin diseases as athlete's foot (tinea pedis) and contact dermatitis Causes and symptoms Conditions or situations that can trigger hyperhidrosis are varied. They include stressful situations, eating spicy foods, consuming alcohol, the presence of underlying disorders (e.g. tuberculosis malaria , lymphoma, and diabetes), menopause , hormonal imbalances, and the use of certain drugs. Physicians believe that hyperhidrosis can be linked to a breakdown in communication between the brain and the mechanisms that activate sweating. In addition, a genetic link may also exist: about 40% of people with the condition have a family history of it.
