A new solution against excessive sweating
Would you be keen to try a laser to stop perspiration?
Having been well established in the US and Canada, MiraDry is a laser designed to permanently stop sweating in people suffering from axillary hyperhidrosis. This disease, whose cause is mostly unknown, causes excessive sweating in the armpits and has a significant impact on the quality of life.
A LASER TO PERMANENTLY ELIMINATE PERSPIRATION?
First, dermatologists recommend the use of antiperspirants sold in pharmacies to try to resolve, or at least contain, hyper sweating in the armpits. When that is not enough, it is possible to make use of iontophoresis sessions in office or at home. The use of a small electric current (painless) allows (in most cases) to temporarily block the activity of the sweat glands responsible for perspiration. The botox, which has a similar effect can also be prescribed in the form of an injection repeatedly after 3 to 6 months, and throughout life. Now, there is also a laser that uses electromagnetic energy to permanently destroy the sweat glands through heat. “The armpits contain only 2% of the sweat glands of the body and their destruction overlooked the problem of global thermoregulation of the body,” reassures Dr. Laurent Bennaim, aesthetic doctor. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and two sessions may be required. Bruises or swelling are common after the sessions and will generally disappear within a few days.
