Hyperhidrosis
Excessive Armpit Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) – Effective Treatment through Suction Curettage
Surgical Sweat Gland Reduction with Dr. Matthias Spiegl in Salzburg & Tullnerfeld
Excessive sweating under the armpits – also known as axillary hyperhidrosis – can significantly impair daily life. Wet clothing, visible sweat stains, and the constant need to conceal often lead to discomfort and insecurity in everyday situations.
If conventional measures such as deodorants, creams, or injections are not sufficiently helpful, Suction Curettage of the Sweat Glands can be an effective and long-lasting solution.
Dr. med. Matthias Spiegl, Specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, performs this treatment in Salzburg and Tullnerfeld with great care and precise technique.
Although he is not specialized in Hyperhidrosis, he has comprehensive surgical experience and offers this method as a proven option for sweat reduction.
What is Understood by Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is an excessive production of sweat that exceeds the normal level of body temperature regulation. The armpits are particularly affected, where sweating occurs even at rest or in the cold.
Typical complaints are:
- permanently moist armpits
- visible sweat stains on clothing
- unpleasant body odor
- feelings of shame or insecurity in everyday life
In the case of axillary hyperhidrosis, the surgical removal of a large part of the sweat glands can achieve a permanent reduction in sweat production.
Suction Curettage – Permanent Sweat Gland Reduction
Suction Curettage is a proven, minimally invasive procedure that mechanically reduces or removes the sweat glands in the armpit. It combines the principle of liposuction with a fine scraping (curettage).
Advantages of Suction Curettage:
- Long-lasting effect – sweat production is permanently reduced
- No visible scars
- Outpatient procedure
- Short recovery time
- Low recurrence rate
Dr. Spiegl proceeds with particular gentleness and precision to protect the tissue and maintain a natural skin appearance.
