Sweating at the gym feels great. Sweating on a date or at the office? Not so much. While it’s perfectly normal to get drenched when pumping iron or even at a steamy summer barbecue, having pit stains during a romantic dinner or sopping palms when shaking hands can be humiliating. And if you’re one of the 8 million Americans with a medical condition known as hyperhidrosis, you sweat four or five times more than normal. Try these six tips to get control of your sweating so you can stay dry for your next big date or presentation.

6 Ways to Stop Excessive Sweating

Consider Surgical Options

If antiperspirants aren’t able to stop the floodgates, you could ask your doctor about getting Botox injections, which were FDA-approved in 2004 for treating hyperhidrosis. Another treatment known as the miraDry Procedure recently received FDA approval, and a handful of doctors are beginning to offer it across the country. “The miraDry Procedure eliminates sweat glands in the underarm safely and non-invasively, so people can expect lasting results and stop excessive underarm sweat from interfering with their lives," says Jeffrey Klein, MD, a dermatologic surgeon practicing in San Juan Capistrano and Newport Beach in Orange County, California. You can get the one- to two-hour treatment at a dermatologist’s office. The results are long-lasting since sweat glands don’t regenerate, but it calls for two treatments to reap maximum benefits.
