Excessive Underarm Sweating

Excessive Underarm Sweating can be treated with Vaser for Hyperhidrosis

If you suffer from excessive underarm sweating you are not alone. While sweating is normal and necessary to keep the body cool, excessive sweating in public can be an uncomfortable nuisance.. Severe underarm sweating, or axillary hyperhidrosis can affect how you dress and what activities you feel comfortable doing.

Hyperhidrosis is an embarrassing medical condition with major social, work, and emotional consequences that is difficult to treat. Usually antiperspirants are the first-line treatments for hyperhidrosis, but these frequently fail. Botox can curb excessive underarm sweating, but treatments are expensive ($1,000 to $1,500 per session) and need to be performed several time a year. At Reflections excessive underarm sweating can be permanently reduced with just one in-office Vaser ultrasound treatment to each underarm area.

The Vaser Hyperhidrosis treatment is a gentle, minimally-invasive surgical procedure that takes about one hour to perform under local anesthesia in the office. First a small amount of local tumescent anesthesia is infused through a tiny incision in the skin of the armpit. Then a thin wand is passed just under the skin, to deliver a special frequency of ultrasonic VASER energy to damage and kill the sweat glands without damaging the surrounding tissue. Only one stitch is needed to close the incision in each axilla or armpit so scarring is minimal. Patients can go home immediately after the procedure and resume normal activities within 24 hours. Most patients experience reduced sweating within one week of the Vaser
Hyperhidrosis procedure!
