Living with hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be incredibly challenging. Whether it's the constant worry about visible sweat stains, the discomfort of perpetually damp skin, or the need to change clothes frequently, hyperhidrosis impacts various aspects of daily life. It can make social interactions, professional engagements, and even simple tasks like holding a pen or shaking hands a source of anxiety.
It's important to remember that hyperhidrosis is a medical condition, not a personal failure. Many people suffer in silence, trying to manage the symptoms with over-the-counter products that often provide little relief. But you don't have to face this alone. There are effective procedures and treatments available that can significantly reduce or even eliminate excessive sweating, helping you live more comfortably and confidently.
Dr. Bertolino at Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics offers Vaser as a treatment option for excessive sweating in Buffalo and Williamsville, NY.
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that occurs when a person’s nerve signals trigger their sweat glands to be overactive. When this happens, the palms, underarms, face, and soles of the feet become overly sweaty.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis has no definitive cause, but it is genetic. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by specific medical conditions, such as diabetes or thyroid issues. It’s also possible for women going through menopause and people with nervous system problems to experience secondary hyperhidrosis.
Vaser Treatment for Hyperhidrosis
Vaser (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) is an innovative treatment option for hyperhidrosis, offering a targeted and minimally invasive solution for excessive sweating. This advanced technology uses ultrasound energy to break down sweat glands in the targeted areas, significantly reducing or eliminating excessive sweat production. We then simply lipo the armpit and suction the sweat glands out.
You will only need one treatment – the results are permanent!
Frequently Asked Questions
Pain is minimal. Some patients may require minimal oral sedation.
Yes, Vaser can cause some side effects. You might experience some swelling and bruising at the treatment site, numbness or altered sensation, small scars at the incision sites, and changes in skin color, such as hyperpigmentation. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. Although rare, there is a slight risk of infection or burns, but following post-procedure care instructions can help minimize these risks. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact Dr. Bertolino right away.
Yes, Botox is a safe treatment for hyperhidrosis. If you opt for Botox injections, it can help block the nerves responsible for triggering the excessive sweating. You will, however, require multiple injections.
Using Botox or Dysport as an underarm injection is expensive and only lasts three to four months. Vaser is permanent.
Vaser is a safe, minimally invasive way to remove sweat glands lodged in the axillary fat.
