Treatment of hyperhydrosis

A device for the treatment of hyperhydrosis by application of electric current to a palm of a human subject, which comprises:

• a) a glove comprising a first electrode adapted for contacting said palm;
• b) a second electrode adapted for location on the forearm adjacent said palm of said human subject;
• and
• c) a power delivery unit in electrical communication with said first and second electrodes, wherein said power deliver unit provides a customized dose of electricity to said palm, wherein said customized dose of electricity comprises one or more cycles of a gradually increasing amount of electricity, followed by a first period of constant electricity, followed by a gradually decreasing amount of electricity, followed by a second period of constant electricity.

A device for the treatment of hyperhydrosis by application of electric current to a sole of a foot of a human subject, which comprises:

• a) a sock or shoe comprising a first electrode adapted for contacting said sole;
• b) a second electrode adapted for location on the leg adjacent said foot of said human subject;
• and
• c) a power delivery unit in electrical communication with said first and second electrodes, wherein said power deliver unit provides a customized dose of electricity to said sole, wherein said customized dose of electricity comprises one or more cycles of a gradually increasing amount of electricity, followed by a first period of constant electricity, followed by a gradually decreasing amount of electricity, followed by a second period of constant electricity.

A method of treating hyperhydrosis by application of electric current to a treatment area of the skin, which comprises

• a) contacting said treatment area a first electrode contained in a garment;
• b) contacting the treatment area or skin proximal to the treatment area with a second electrode, said first and second electrodes being in electrical communication with a power delivery unit;
• and
• c) providing a customized dose of electricity to said skin using said power delivery unit, wherein said customized dose of electricity comprises one or more cycles of a gradually increasing amount of electricity, followed by a first period of constant electricity, followed by a gradually decreasing amount of electricity, followed by a second period of constant electricity.
