Answer: Treating Scalp Hyperhidrosis with Genius. Steven F. Weiner, MD I would treat the scalp with RFM, the Genius, to treat hyperhidrosis. I will give long-term improvements and my also help with hair growth. The RF causes destruction of the eccrine and apocrine glands, which cause the sweating. It might take 2-3 treatments. Minimal downtime with this except for swelling.

Answer: Excess Sweating of the Scalp This of localized excess sweating is called Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis. We have had good results using Botox injections for many of our affected patients with this type. You should seek out and experienced Dermatologist who is trained in this treatment technique. These results usually last 4-6 months in this location. I hope this is helpful.Steven Greene MD, Advanced Dermatology and Laser Institute of Seattle

Answer: Botox vs lotions. Craniofacial HH responds best to BOTOX injections. The amount needed is proportional to the area. Injections take 5 minutes to perform and last 3-5 months. Another option is glypyrollate lotion 2-5%- this can work well in 10-20% of patients. Speak to your dermatologist about other options including short course oxybutin, or p. bromide. Dr Davin Lim.
