Laser treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis (ND:Yag)
The Nd:YAG laser emits targeted energy that is absorbed by the sweat glands under the skin.
The energy generates controlled heat that thermally damages and coagulates the sweat glands, effectively reducing their function and size. Over time, this process reduces both the activity and the number of sweat glands in the treated area,
leading to a significant and long-lasting reduction in sweating.
This is another laser therapy we offer that is safe, effective and non-invasive, used to disable axillary sweat glands by irradiating the glandular tissue.
The treatment involves irradiating the sweat glands with a laser beam, which causes them to overheat and gradually destroy them. The sweat glands, which are sensitive to high temperatures after the treatment, die.
After treatment, clients usually experience a significant reduction in sweating in the treated area. This is because the laser energy disrupts the structure of the sweat glands, impairing their ability to produce sweat. Over time, the body naturally breaks down and absorbs the damaged sweat glands, further reducing their number. Most clients notice
long-lasting results, and some experience a permanent reduction in sweating. However, individual results may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the body's response to treatment.
Frequency: treatments are recommended every 6 to 8 weeks.
Number of sessions: Clients typically need between 3 and 6 sessions, depending on the
the severity of sweating and the desired results.
Duration of results: Results can last up to 12 months, with some clients experiencing long-term effects based on the body's response to treatment.
