Vivace RF Microneedling for Excessive Sweating

This microneedling treatment is one of the latest and best options available for treating excessive sweating. Radiofrequency microneedling is highly preferred for its amazing anti-aging and rejuvenating results. It is also used for the destruction of the sweat glands due to the thermal tissue reaction that can be created with radiofrequency microneedling. This painless, in-office procedure involves only local numbing of the underarm and 20-minute sessions with no downtime and no recovery. This results in a decrease of functional sweat glands, ending the embarrassment of excessive sweating.

What is Hyperhidrosis or Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a debilitating issue for some people. Sufferers are unable to wear particular clothes because the problem of excessive sweating is so obvious and embarrassing. They must bring a change of clothes to work because the hyperhidrosis is so bad that they cannot wait until the end of the day to change into dry clothes.

How Can Hyperhidrosis Be Treated?

Hyperhidrosis is a clinical issue that can be treated. Traditional approaches available include prescription drugs like Robinul, clinical strength antiperspirants, and topical aluminum chloride.

Botox and Dysport are options for treating hyperhidrosis of the underarms, but this is a costly option and requires regular re-treatment to be effective. We use this option to treat only the hyperhidrosis of the palms and feet because our preferred treatment Vivace RF Microneedling is not appropriate for these areas.

MiraDry, a device, has been used to more permanently eliminate the issue of excessive sweating of the underarms. However, it is not always effective, and the cost is prohibitive to the patients and to potential providers.

How Many Vivace RF Microneedling Treatments Are Needed to Treat Hyperhidrosis?

Patients may require up to three procedures to achieve complete sweat resolution. Some patients will have desired result with only one treatment. This varies based on individual factors and cannot be precisely determined. Patient response to the 3 treatment series is excellent, though, so we highly recommend treatment.
