Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating—especially in the underarms—that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature.

For individuals with this condition, sweating even occurs in unexpected situations, such as when they are at rest or in a cool environment. Excessive sweating can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort, embarrassment, and even social anxiety.

Liposculpture, a minimally invasive procedure typically associated with body contouring, is also an effective treatment for managing hyperhidrosis.

How does liposculpture for hyperhidrosis work?

Liposculpture for hyperhidrosis treats excessive sweating by targeting the sweat glands under the skin. During the procedure, an ultra thin cannula, which is a small, hollow tube, is carefully inserted to suction the underside of the underarm skin to remove the sweat glands. This minimally invasive technique significantly reduces sweat production, providing long-lasting relief.

While liposculpture effectively reduces excessive sweating in the affected area, your body will still sweat normally in other areas to regulate temperature. Results are usually permanent since the sweat glands don’t regenerate after removal.

Who is a candidate for hyperhidrosis treatment?

Candidates for liposculpture as a treatment for excessive sweating include:

  • Individuals in good overall health
  • Patients with hyperhidrosis that significantly impacts their quality of life
  • Those who have tried other treatments like antiperspirants, oral medications, or Botox injections without success

What is a liposculpture for hyperhidrosis session like?

The procedure is performed using tumescent anesthesia. This is a specialized technique that involves injecting a diluted local anesthetic solution into tissue to numb the area while creating a firm, swollen state called tumescence. This state makes the treatment more effective while keeping you comfortable and pain-free throughout.

Next, a specialized cannula is used to suction out or destroy the sweat glands while preserving surrounding tissue. The incision made for the cannula is very small, so scarring is minimal and should heal completely over time.

The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is done on an outpatient basis.

What results can be expected?

After treatment, patients typically experience a significant reduction in underarm sweating, with some achieving near-complete dryness.

Since results are permanent, this procedure usually only requires one session, and you can resume regular activities afterwards.
