Excessive Sweating - Hyperhidrosis

‘Hyper’ – means excessive, ‘hidrosis’ – means sweating.

RF micro-needling give better outcomes and longer lasting results compared to over the counter preparations such as antiperspirants and deodorants.

What about the results?

You will notice sweat reduction within a few days and this reduction improves further over the following days and weeks.

Because abnormally active sweat glands are removed the results from this treatment are very long lasting and possibly permanent particularly if a repeat treatment is carried out after a few months.

Radiofrequency needling treatments for face have been around for a long time but have not been effective for this particular condition. However, a new technology called MORPHEUS8 is extremely effective and is a true game changer in the treatment of hyperhidrosis.

How does it work?

Again, patients are requested not to use any antiperspirants or deodorants for 1-2 weeks beforehand so that a ‘starch-iodine test’ can be carried out to precisely outline the affected area and give the most precise results.

The RF actually removes the overactive sweat glands rather than just blocking their activity, and so results from this treatment are usually very long lasting and very satisfying.
