How to Stop Excessive Sweating

According to research, millions of people are impacted by a condition known as hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. This condition is more than just a minor inconvenience- it can impact your confidence, stain your clothing, and make social interactions uncomfortable. If you have found that you constantly have to freshen your deodorant, avoid certain fabrics, or feeling self-conscious about sweat marks and odor, you’re not alone.

The team at Flying Horse Medical Center understands how frustrating this condition can be- and we offer solutions that provide real, lasting results. One of the most effective treatments on the market today is miraDry®- a revolutionary procedure that permanently eliminates underarm sweating.

Why do Some People Sweat More than Others?

Sweating is a natural bodily function that regulates temperature. However, some individuals experience overactive sweat glands, which means they produce more sweat than necessary. Hyperhidrosis can occur even if you’re not hot or physically active, often impacting the hands, feet, face, and underarms.

While certain medical conditions, genetics, or stress can contribute to this condition, many times, it occurs without a clear underlying cause. For patients who struggle with persistent underarm sweat, traditional remedies such as antiperspirants or prescription medications may not offer sufficient relief.

Treatment Options for Hyperhidrosis

Typically, managing excessive sweating involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medical treatments. Some of the most common approaches include:

• Clinical-strength antiperspirant: often the first line of defense- but can cause skin irritation and may not work for severe cases.
• Oral medications: some prescriptions can help reduce sweating- but often have side effects including blurry vision, dry mouth, and dizziness.
• Botox injections: can temporarily block sweat gland signals, but requires re-treatment every 4 to 6 months.
• Iontophoresis: uses electrical currents to reduce sweating- primarily on the hands and feet- but requires ongoing maintenance.

If you’re suffering from hyperhidrosis and are looking for a permanent, non-invasive option, consider miraDry®.

What Makes miraDry® Different?

Unlike other treatment options that require multiple sessions or ongoing maintenance, miraDry® offers permanent results in as little as one session. This FDA-cleared procedure uses thermal energy to eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarms. Since these glands do not regenerate, the results last a lifetime.

Key benefits of miraDry® include:

• Immediate, lasting results: many patients have a dramatic reduction in sweating right away.
• Non-surgical, minimally invasive: no incisions, stitches, or long recovery periods.
• Little to no downtime: most patients can go back to normal activities the same day.
• Reduction of underarm odor and hair: bonus benefit of the treatment- no hair!

What to Expect with miraDry®

The miraDry® procedure is quick and painless, typically lasting about an hour. Before we get started, a local anesthetic will be applied to the underarm. The device then delivers controlled thermal energy, safely eliminating sweat and odor glands.

After treatment, you may experience some mild swelling and tenderness- but most patients are able to return to their usual activities the same day. Unlike other temporary treatments, such as Botox injections, this treatment is a one-time investment in your confidence and comfort.
