Perspiratory glands removal

New help for excessive sweating

Persipatory glands suction

During summer, many people are not excited about the warmth, because they suffer from excessive underarm perspiration and can hardly wear light or one-colour clothes, since dark wet spots emerge. Sweating is a normal reaction, since this way, the temperature is balanced.

Only when this sweating is extremely increased, then constantly wet skin is perceived as a nuisance to the person concerned. When deos and other sweat stopping or desiccativemeasures are ineffective, there is a possibilty to block persipatory glands through small infections with the poison for nerves, botulinum toxin, or to remove the whole sweating skin surgically. In addition to high costs, there are following disadvantages: short duration of botulinum toxin effect or a big often disturbing scar after the surgical removal.
For a while, there has been an alternative without these disadvantages. With the help of a so-called persipatory gland suction, it can be reduced without having to remove large areas of the skin.

A so-called suction curretage, during which persipatory glands under arms are removed by suction, has been carried out only for a couple of years and only in some centers. The operation technique with the help of a sharp instrument, used before, always showed complications or relatively high recurrance rate, so that a new intervention had to be performed. When using canulae, the way they are used during vibration modelling, the success rates were not satisfactory either.
Through improving and developing the technique and through introduction of a new special cannule the success rate increased significantly.The possible complications are minimal, these are usually small hematomas and hardenings in the underarm area, which disappear after a short while.
The minimal- invasive intervention is carried out under so-called tumescent – local anaesthesia. It is an ambulant operation. Only two small incisions, appr. 2 mm in size, under the armpit and over it, are needed as an access to the operation area. In addition to that, the perspiratory glands are removed by suction after maceration of the tissue by means of tumescent solution. The small surgical accesses are closed with a clip plaster, a pressure bandage is put over it. The after-operative swelling disappears after a few days.
As a rule, patients can start working normally directly after the intervention. We have had patients who went directly to work from the hospital. Still it is recommended to take a 1 or 2 days off after the operation.
Directly after the operation the armpit is dry, the persipatory glands have been already removed by suction. They cannot appear again. There will be no compensatory sweat oversecretion on other body spots. Solely neurosupply of the still remaining persipatory glands can regenerate; therefore, a very light persipatory gland secretion is possible.
