If you're a patient looking for care, please visit our hyperhidrosis services page.
This page is intended for referring physicians, including primary care providers and dermatologists, seeking specialized care or surgical options for patients with hyperhidrosis.
Rush’s dermatologists, surgeons and other providers take a collaborative approach to treating hyperhidrosis.
When other treatments fail, Rush’s board-certified vascular surgeons offer endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that can stop excessive sweating. U.S. News & World Report ranks Rush University Medical Center as one of the top hospitals for pulmonary and lung surgery in the nation.
If excessive sweating is interfering with patients’ activities, Rush experts can help. If antiperspirants and medication aren’t offering relief, Rush doctors can provide other interventions, including Botox injections and iontophoresis.
For patients considering surgical treatment for hyperhidrosis, Rush provides minimally invasive endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. Patients with severe excessive sweating who have tried other treatment options may be a candidate for this surgery.
Trusted experts: Rush thoracic surgeons perform hundreds of surgeries each year. Our surgeons are experienced in using the latest minimally invasive techniques. Rush University Medical Center performs more video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries than any other hospital in Illinois.
Collaborative approach: Dermatologists, surgeons and other providers will work together to develop a treatment plan personalized to each patient.
Convenient care: Rush provides dermatology care in multiple Chicago locations, Aurora, Oak Park and Oak Brook. If patients have a procedure in Chicago, they can schedule follow-up care at another location if it is more convenient.
