Recently, based upon new research, Dr. Garza modified the technique so that it is now specifically tailored to treat the different areas affected by Hyperhidrosis. The new technique has been shown to reduce or eliminate the incidence of severe Compensatory Sweating specifically in patients with Hands or Hands and Underarms. It has also been found to be more specific and effective for Underarm Sweating than the previous procedures . Conservative non-surgical medical treatments are often helpful for mild and moderate cases of hyperhidrosis. They are usually ineffective in cases of severe intractable hyperhidrosis.
Most surgeons cut or destroy a specific nerve called the Sympathetic nerve trunk or ganglion.
Dr. Garza performs the procedure by applying Titanium Clips across the specific nerve trunk that controls the sweat or blush response. Most insurance companies allow for the procedure. The procedure was recently updated to reduce or eliminate the potential side effect of Compensatory Sweating. The effect is immediate. The clips stop the transmission of signals across the nerve trunks and have the same effect as cutting or destroying the nerve.
