Hyperhidrosis / ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® Treatment

Hyperhidrosis / ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â®

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating. Though most commonly affecting the underarms, hyperhidrosis can also cause excessive sweating of the hands and feet. This condition can affect one’s self-confidence and cause embarrassment. Underarm sweating can lead to odor and sweat stains on clothing, as well as the need to frequently apply antiperspirant, which may result in deodorant stains. Patients affected by hyperhidrosis may sweat excessively due to temperature, emotions, and physical exertion. However, some patients may sweat regardless of these factors. There are numerous treatments available to help address axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating), including µþ´Ç³Ù´Ç³æ®, laser therapy, and ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® treatment.

²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® is an innovative non-surgical treatment designed to address axillary hyperhidrosis. ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® is FDA approved to reduce underarm sweat by targeting sweat and odor-causing glands under the arms. By undergoing ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â®, patients can also reduce the need to apply deodorant or antiperspirant. Dermatology, Laser and Surgery of Flatiron is proud to offer this excessive sweating treatment for New York City patients suffering from axillary hyperhidrosis.

What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition that causes an abnormal amount of sweating to occur. Hyperhidrosis can affect the underarms, palms, and feet. Physical activities, temperature, stress, or nervousness are some factors that can trigger excessive sweating. Some hyperhidrosis patients experience sweating even when these triggers are absent.

What Treatments Are Available For Hyperhidrosis?

²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â®

²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® is a unique FDA approved treatment for underarm sweating. This procedure delivers miraWaveâ„¢ energy to sweat glands and odor-causing glands under the arms, effectively destroying them. ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® is completely non-surgical and can achieve long-lasting results.

µþ´Ç³Ù´Ç³æ®

µþ´Ç³Ù´Ç³æ® is FDA approved to reduce excessive underarm sweating. µþ´Ç³Ù´Ç³æ® is injected into the target area to temporarily stop sweat glands by blocking nerve signals that produce sweat.

Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is another solution to treating the effects of axillary hyperhidrosis. These lasers can destroy sweat and odor-causing glands using laser energy.

²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® Treatment At A Glance:

²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® uses a specialized handpiece to target both sweat-causing glands (known as eccrine glands) and odor-causing glands (known as apocrine glands). During your underarm sweat treatment, the ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® handpiece will use suctioning to bring your sweat and odor glands closer to the surface of your skin. The ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® console then sends miraWaveâ„¢ energy to the targeted glands. Heat from the ²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¶Ù°ù²â® device destroys unwanted eccrine and apocrine glands, reducing sweat and odor.
