If you feel like your life is being controlled by excessive sweating, you should know that you are not alone.
Excessive, uncontrollable sweating, or Hyperhidrosis, is a condition that affects about one in 20 people around the world. That’s millions of people sweating and struggling just like you.
However, if you’re on the lookout for a lifestyle change, you’re in luck. Monday 6 December marks the official launch of the Canberra Sweat Clinic.
The new practice offers a full selection of treatments for excessive sweating, including Botox injections, as well as incorporating a special focus on treating sweat reduction through miraDry’s energy-based technology.
Sweat is a way of controlling our body temperature; it cools our skin’s surface as the water in the sweat evaporates. Sometimes, the body’s inbuilt air conditioning is overactive, causing it to sweat four or five times more than is necessary. This can be embarrassing, uncomfortable, and disabling, particularly in our social lives.
miraDry is the only US Food and Drug Administration-cleared treatment that can significantly reduce underarm sweat by addressing the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Soon, Canberra Sweat Clinic will be one of the certified centres within the ACT capable of providing treatment for excessive underarm sweat through miraDry technology.
The sweat tech is a radical concept; never before have we questioned whether sweating was optional.
It is, and it all comes down to simple maths.
Our skin has approximately two million sweat glands over the entire body, with our underarms only containing about two per cent of those glands. miraDry experts say that the loss of that two per cent would not affect the body’s ability to cool itself.
“That is exactly what the technology does,” says Dr Wen-Shan Sung. “The energy waves target the sweat glands between your skin and soft tissue. Once those glands are eliminated, they don’t grow back.
“With this technology, we are able to provide permanent sweat reduction, up to 82 per cent. We can assist our patients with excessive underarm sweating, if anti-perspirants and oral medication are not enough.
“Here at the Canberra Sweat Clinic, we appreciate that miraDry technology means only one to two treatments for our patients, and is non-surgical, with immediate results.”
Dr Sung advises that miraDry technology might be for you if:
- You find yourself annoyed or embarrassed by underarm sweat
- You are sick and tired of yellow underarm stains or antiperspirant marks on your clothes
- You often avoid social activities because you are anxious about how much you may sweat
- You want to stop using deodorants and antiperspirants everyday
- You want to simultaneously reduce underarm sweat and underarm hair
- You’re just tired of worrying about underarm sweat at all
