It's no sweat!

Published on June 9, 2009

What treatments are available for excessive sweating?

A Botox injection would most likely help. Botox works by blocking the release of the chemical responsible for stimulating the sweat glands. The treatment lasts approximately six to eight months and you would need to repeat injection when excessive sweating returns, as the nerves start working normally again.

SmartLipo is another, minimally invasive produce and uses a tiny laser to destroy sweat glands.

Is it true that I need sunscreen even in the shade and while driving in a car?

Absolutely. While shade may reduce UV exposure anywhere from 50 to 90 per cent, I've seen patients who have became dark or developed brown spots from the reflection of snow, sand, water and even the sidewalk. So, if you're going to be outdoors, whether in direct sun or in the shade, you should wear at least an SPF 30 and reapply it every three to four hours.

While most windshields block sunburn-causing UVB rays, they don't block UVA rays, which cause ageing and skin cancer. If you are a commuting during peak sun hours everyday, I suggest getting your car windows tinted with the strongest available UVA filter. And besides wearing sunscreen, you might also cover your face with a mask, scarf and sunglasses.
