Excess Sweating
There is nearly nothing quite as embarrassing or frustrating as excessive sweat. Those of us who regularly deal with it know that it can become an issue in virtually every social setting. Something as simple as stepping outside for a brief moment in the sun can turn into a damp catastrophe as sweat riddles our hands, feet, back, chest, groin, head, face, nose or, probably the worst offender, the underarms.
Unfortunately, all of the athlete- or prescription-grade deodorant in the world doesn’t always work against excess sweating from occurring. In those cases, many people turn to minimally invasive or noninvasive procedures to stop sweat at the source.
Sweating is a bodily function regulated by our hormones. When we are overheated, active or emotional, our bodies activate sweat glands. In some cases, someone’s nerves may overreact — when this happens consistently, that person is diagnosed with a condition known as hyperhidrosis. People with hyperhidrosis often have to take extra steps during social and casual outings to not become embarrassed about noticeable sweat marks.
How to Get Rid of Excess Sweat
miraDry — Boasting an efficacy rate of 100% after 24 months of treatment, miraDry uses unique, noninvasive microwave technology to deliver precise pulses of energy directly into the dermal-fat interface. This process destroys sweat glands alongside hair follicles and odor glands and is clinically proven to have an efficacy rate of 82% at 12 months of treatment. The process is virtually painless since it is coupled with a state-of-the-art cooling plate.
Botox — Primarily known for its ability to smooth wrinkles or stop migraines, Botox is actually approved for the treatment of hyperhidrosis as well. It can treat a host of areas suffering from excessive sweat, such as the hands, feet, chest, back, head, groin, face and nose. Since Botox is one of the most popular minimally invasive treatments in the aesthetic market, it is highly reliable and consistent, especially when performed by a specialist like those at our office.
