Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating) Treatment in Bangkok

Hyperhidrosis treatment in the Bangkok area

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond what the body needs to cool itself, most often affecting the underarms, palms, soles and face. It can soak clothing, make handshakes and writing awkward, and affect confidence and daily life — and Thailand's heat makes it worse. The good news is that it can be controlled. At Siam Dermatology in the Greater Bangkok area, hyperhidrosis is treated by board-certified dermatologists.

Why see a dermatologist

Most hyperhidrosis is primary — it has no underlying disease — but sometimes excessive sweating signals a thyroid or other medical issue, so a dermatologist assesses the pattern and history first. They then match the treatment to where you sweat and how severe it is, which is far more effective than guessing with over-the-counter products alone.

How hyperhidrosis is treated

Treatment is stepped to severity. Strong prescription antiperspirants are first-line for many people. Botulinum toxin injections are very effective for the underarms, palms and soles, reducing sweating for several months per treatment. Oral medication and other options exist for selected cases. Your dermatologist will explain the choices and what to expect from each.

Botulinum toxin for sweating

Botulinum toxin is a well-established treatment for excessive underarm, palm and sole sweating. It works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, and the effect typically lasts several months before it can be repeated. It is a quick in-clinic procedure performed by a specialist.
