Non-Invasive Device-Based Treatments for Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis, a condition marked by excessive sweating beyond what is needed for thermoregulation, can be challenging for patients and healthcare providers alike. With growing demand for safe and effective solutions, the hyperhidrosis treatment market is witnessing a surge in non-invasive device-based innovations. These approaches aim to reduce sweat gland activity without surgery, anesthesia, or extended downtime.
One of the most notable device-based treatments is iontophoresis, which delivers a low-intensity electrical current through water to block sweat gland activity temporarily. This therapy is widely used for palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis and can be administered at home using portable devices. Results are typically noticeable after several sessions, with maintenance treatments required for long-term control.
Microwave thermolysis systems—while technically energy-based rather than strictly mechanical—are increasingly categorized under non-invasive modalities due to their outpatient, incision-free nature. They target sweat glands in the underarms with thermal energy, destroying them permanently while…
