Provided herein are the novel uses of apparatuses delivering electromagnetic energy through an external skin surface to an underlying sweat glands containing tissue site for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Electromagnetic energy delivery means are provided and include an interface surface configured to conform to the exterior skin layer surface. Electrode means are coupled to the electromagnetic energy delivery means and configured to transfer electromagnetic energy through the interface surface and the skin layer surface to the underlying sweat glands containing tissue site.
