If you have excessive underarm sweating there is help and Mountain Radiance can help you feel better.
Do I have severe underarm sweating?
We all sweat, but where does a little sweat become a big deal? Ask yourself a few simple questions:
- How many times per day do you change clothes?
- Do you carry powders or towels to manage your sweat throughout the day?
- Have you used prescription antiperspirants?
- How many hours do you spend worrying about underarm sweating?
Severe underarm sweating is known as hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is sweating more than normal – sometimes 4 to 5 times as much as normal.
The medical professionals at Mountain Radiance can diagnose severe underarm sweating (Hyperhidrosis) and recommend treatment solutions. This is an informed decision between you and the doctor.
Medical Treatment of Hyperhidrosis
There are many treatments for hyperhidrosis, including antiperspirants, Botox®, and surgery.
Botox is now FDA approved for the treatment of hyperhidrosis and has been used on thousands of patients safely and successfully. With treatment applied to the skin using very, very small injections up to 80% of patients experience at least 50% sweat reduction that can last up to 9 months
How does it work?
Sweat glands excrete sweat to cool the body, but sometimes the sweat gland is over productive. That’s where Botox comes in.
Botox is injected into the underarm where sweating occurs. The Botox medicine blocks the production of sweat by the sweat gland. This is temporary and can provide over 6 months of relief, all from a short 10-15 minute procedure at Mountain Radiance.
In clinical trials, Botox patients received a significant reduction in underarm sweat!
