The treatment is FDA/Health Canada approved for severe underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis). We also treat other common areas, such as the palms, soles of the feet, and forehead on an "off-label" basis, following established expert protocols.
-
You should start noticing a reduction in sweating within 2 to 4 days after the treatment, with the full, complete drying effect typically achieved within 2 weeks.
-
The duration varies by individual and area, but relief from underarm sweating typically lasts between 6 to 12 months. Treatments for the palms and feet may require more frequent touch-ups (e.g., every 6 months).
-
There is virtually no downtime. You can return to work immediately. We recommend avoiding intensive exercise, saunas, and hot showers for the first 24 hours post-treatment.
-
Yes, absolutely. Only a small fraction of the body's sweat glands are affected, which has no impact on the body’s overall ability to cool itself. Compensatory sweating (sweating more elsewhere) is not a concern with this treatment.
-
With the use of topical numbing and a precise technique using the finest needles, the discomfort is minimal, often described as a slight pinprick.
