Hyperhidrosis is also known as excessive sweating, it is a condition that usually occurs most commonly in the palms of hands, soles of feet, scalp, face, and underarms, however, it can also occur in other parts of the body such as the back, in the groin area and/or underneath the breasts. This disorder can impact you on a daily basis, interfering with regular activities and causing you embarrassment. Most of the time there is no underlying health condition. This type of excessive sweating is referred to as primary hyperhidrosis and occurs when the nerves responsible for triggering your sweat glands become overactive. Luckily, there are options to help stop and maintain this condition. Our lead medical aesthetician, Cuc was born with this disorder and have been living with severe excessive sweating on both of her palms and feet since infancy. She is very knowledgable and can provide you with her take on living with this condition and Fractional RF treatment for excessive underarm sweating.
Fraction RF decreases underarm sweat using radiofrequency energy combined with microneedling. This procedure targets and reduces the size of sweat glands, it doesn’t completely destroy the sweat glands but can significantly improve the excessive sweating. The treatment involves topical numbing agent being applied on the axillary region for 45 minutes, followed by 30-45 minute procedure of Fractional RF – the Fraction RF is moved across the armpits as the microneedles penetrate the skin at different depths and deliver bursts of radiofrequency energy.
