| Surgery – ETS |
Invasive - Has a reported 99% success rate to stop palm sweating. |
Surgery almost always results in compensatory sweating, causing possible
severe sweating in other parts of the body (back, thighs, head, feet etc), among other
potential side-effects. |

| Botox Injections |
Invasive injections. High levels of dryness usually achieved. Effects can
last from 4 to 12 months. |
Palm injections can be very painful. There is a possibility of nerve
poison, and sweating will return eventually. It is also very expensive and the body can
build up immunity to its effects. |

No sideeffects, no effects |
|
| Aluminium chloride |
Non-invasive, stong antiperspirant, Effects can last for up to two weeks,

Aluminium ingredients (some say it triggers Alzheimer). Ingredients can
cause skin irritation or inflammation. It does not work for everyone (around 80% success
rate) and is often ineffective for palm sweating. |

Conclusion:
Unfortunately there is no permanent cure for Hyperhidrosis; the success of each
individual treatment varies from patient to patient.
Iontophoresis has only recently begun to gain popularity for the treatment of
excessive sweating, but it is proving to be a reliable, cheaper alternative to Botox
injection, Antiperspirant and ETS surgery, without the risk of unrereversible side
effects.
