HYPERHYDROSIS

STOP EXCESS SWEATING

Hyperhidrosis means excessive sweating. In most people, it occurs symmetrically on specific areas of the body, such as the underarms, hands, feet or head. Hyperhidrosis can cause a great degree of emotional embarrassment and may affect the quality of a person’s life.

There are a variety of effective over the counter antiperspirants. A stronger formulation of the most common ingredient, aluminum chloride, is also available by prescription. For patients who do not respond to antiperspirants, Botox can be injected into the underarms, hands or feet to decrease the sweating. The effects of botox may last 3 to 6 months, at which time retreatment is necessary. For a more permanent solution, Vital Dermatology NJ offers the MiraDry™ procedure in which proprietary miraWave energy targets and destroys sweat and odor glands in your underarm.

ROSACEA

Rosacea is a common skin disease that causes redness and red pimple-like breakouts on the face. It begins with a tendency toward “flushing and blushing” and may then progress to a persistent redness of the central face.

PSORIASIS

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder characterized by raised lesions with silvery scale that most often occur on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back. It can range from a very mild, hardly noticeable rash to a severe eruption that covers large areas of the body.

PATCH TESTING

Patch testing is used for patients with dermatitis to find out whether substances coming into contact with the skin are causing or aggravating their condition.
