What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating, especially under the arms. Sweating is an important process because it keeps your body cool. However, sweating too much can cause embarrassment, stress, and potentially social withdrawal. If you experience sweating in situations that don’t call for it, finding treatment can be a challenge. Our team at Skin Wellness Center is ready to provide you with an effective solution.
Why does it occur?
Your body produces sweat to keep itself at a sustainable temperature. But in some cases, sweat glands can go into overdrive and produce much more sweat than you need. A hereditary disorder is the main thing responsible for this phenomenon. In this disorder, nerves that signal your sweat glands to turn on and off do not function properly.
This causes you to sweat even when you don’t need to cool down. Hyperhidrosis can also be a symptom of an infection, diabetes, or hormonal changes like menopause.
How is hyperhidrosis treated?
The miraDry treatment process is straightforward and the entire visit can be done in about an hour. The procedure targets sweat and odor glands below the skin’s surface. When these glands absorb the miraWave™ energy, they heat up in a controlled manner. This heating induces thermolysis or controlled deterioration. Both sweat and odor glands respond similarly to the gentle energy delivered during treatment, facilitating immediate and lasting improvement.
The treatment is clinically proven to have an average of 82% sweat reduction and 89% odor reduction.
