I have severe hyperhydrosis of my face and head. I sit in an air-conditioned classroom and I can feel droplets of sweat "squirting" from my pores. I cannot function as a teacher when sweat is running off my face like a fountain. I take Clondine, a blood-pressure medication given by my dermatologist. She had heard it might help. It just takes all of the moisture from my system and I get dry mouth, but I still sweat. This has been going on for over 10 years. My hair is always wet at school. Help!
Answer: Botox for face/scalp hyperhydrosis Thank you for your question. Botox can be very effective for sweating of the scalp and face. The results are highly dose and technique dependent. I would recommend that you visit with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who has experience in treating hyperhidrosis with Botox.

Answer: Head sweating... Thanks Kirby.Thanks for your question. Cranial hyperhydrosis is problematic especially in the midwest. It is not uncommon for patients to get side effects from medicines as in your case. I think you can treat your cranial sweating with a local/regional therapy.I suggest you consider Dysport or Botox as it is effective in reducing sweat in this part of the body. Side effects and complications are low for these procedures. They have to be repeated several times per year, with most patients seeing a reduction in sweat for 4 to 60 months.

Answer: Miradry for underarm hyperhidrosis I have co-authored a book on Miradry and continue to see very positive improvements in patient outcome. I am aware of several non-underarm research projects for Miradry-like technology. I would be patient for those to be FDA approved. In the meantime, I would suggest Botox injections.

Answer: Botox to scalp The miraDry® system eliminates the underarm sweat glands, and the sweat glands don’t grow back after treatment. This results in a dramatic and lasting reduction of embarrassing underarm sweat. In a clinical study, patients experienced an average of 82% reduction in underarm sweat. You should notice a reduction in sweat immediately after a single miraDry® treatment. As with any medical procedure, results will vary by person. 80% of our patients need only one treatment. Secondary effects include underarm hair and odor reduction. Ask your physician if this procedure is right for you.Right now, miraDry is only approved for the underarms.Botox to the scalp may help.
