Excessive Sweating
Sweating is a normal bodily function needed to regulate temperature. Some people, however, suffer from excessive sweating beyond what’s required for thermal regulation. This condition is called hyperhidrosis.
The underlying cause is the overactivity of the sweat glands. Primary hyperhidrosis causes excessive sweating for no apparent reason. It most commonly affects the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face.
Excessive underarm sweating can be embarrassing, causing visible wetness and odors. It may also trigger skin irritation, discoloration and infections. Those affected may be anxious about social activities and physical contact.
Several factors that trigger increased underarm sweating include stress, hormonal changes, certain foods and medications, obesity, and hot humid climates. Heredity also plays a role, as hyperhidrosis often runs in families.
Excessive Sweating Treatment
Excess sweating usually begins in childhood or adolescence. Without treatment, it tends to persist and affect quality of life. Thankfully, modern medical therapies like BTX and microneedling RF can provide lasting relief by controlling overactive sweat glands.
Underarm BTX
Injections of botulinum toxin (BTX) temporarily block the nerve signals to sweat glands in the armpits. This dramatically reduces underarm sweating for 6-9 months.
Microneedling RF
Morpheus or Secret RF uses thermal radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered via microneedling to heat and destroy underarm sweat glands. This provides lasting sweat reduction with minimal downtime.
FAQ For Excessive Sweating Treatment
What's the best treatment for excessive underarm sweating?
The two leading options are BTX injections or microneedling RF. BTX temporarily blocks sweat signals for 6-9 months. Secret RF destroys glands more permanently but requires 3-5 sessions.
Are underarm sweating treatments permanent?
Unfortunately, no treatment eliminates sweating 100% permanently. Microneedling RF can provide 1-2 years reduction before glands regenerate. BTX lasts 6-9 months.
Are excessive sweating treatments painful?
BTX injections involve minimal discomfort as the treatment area will be iced before starting. Microneedling RF involves some pins and needles sensation during the procedure.
How many sessions are needed?
BTX requires repeat sessions every 6-9 months. For microneedling RF, most patients need 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal long-term sweat reduction.
