VASER ablation of the sweat glands work by ablating the sweat glands under the skin by direct contact of the VASER ultrasonic probe. The procedure is done in the office, with the use of local numbing medication, and it takes about thirty minutes. There is no need for sedation, the downtime is minimal, and the results are very good. Some patients will experience re-growth of the sweat glands, but perhaps to a lesser degree, which is also a satisfactory outcome. Some degree of hair removal may be accomplished in the treated areas, as well.

1How Botox® can treat excessive sweating?
Botox® prevents the cellular release of an enzyme called “acetylcholine”. Acetylcholine stimulates the sweat glands, and when this exzyme’s action is blocked by Botox®, so is the sweat gland’s activity – thus stopping the excessive sweating!
2How much Botox® will you need to treat your underarm sweat?
The amount of Botox® to be injected depends of the size of the area, the symptoms, individual response to it, and other factors. The effect may last between 6-12 months, or longer. Individual responses do vary.
