New Treatment to Stop Perspiration
Read on for New Treatment to Stop Perspiration, the human body as we know it is a complex machine that consists of various mechanisms tasked with distinctive functions that help us get by every day.
One of these mechanisms is sweating. While sweating is necessary to regulate body temperature, excessive sweating on the other can be a life-altering experience – no not in a good way. The reason for this is that sweating or rather not sweating has become a signifier of social status.
It’s no news that celebrities and the likes seem incapable of sweating. Proof of this is how dry and organized they look at large and long events. When was the last time you saw a pit-stain at the Oscars? Or someone just wiping the sweat from their brow during an interview?
The relieving news is, you don’t develop special abilities to inhibit perspiration when you become a celeb or millionaire. For years now there have been various procedures and treatments capable of the endowment of this perk.
The common procedure which is the administration of Botox injections has been used in the past and even in recent times. While Botox is effective it is not a permanent solution to the problem.
MiraDry, on the other hand, is considered a medical breakthrough as it consists of a noninvasive technique that permanently eliminates sweat glands under the arms. The MiraDry procedure involves applying electromagnetic energy to the area of the underarms where the sweat glands are located.
It might sound scary at first, but here’s how this works; Local anesthesia is administered to the patient before the treatment to ensure comfort during the procedure. MiraDry uses a non-invasive handheld device to distribute specifically regulated electromagnetic energy underneath the armpit to a certain area in which the sweat glands are located. This results in thermolysis (decomposition by heat) of the sweat glands. During this process of obliteration of sweat glands through electromagnetic waves, the top layers of the skin are simultaneously cooled while being protected. The results are lasting and the effect can be observed almost immediately as the sweat glands are not perceived to regenerate after treatment. To achieve optimal results, a minimum of two procedures spaced three months apart is recommended.
So now the question becomes, ‘What happens when my sweat glands have been obliterated?’, ‘Don’t I need to sweat?’ Well yes, you need to sweat but know that the underarms comprise less than 2% of the body’s sweat glands. You are born with approximately 2-4 million sweat glands throughout your body. Eliminating a few would do you no harm.
How much does MiraDry cost?
Depending on your location, the cost of MiraDry ranges from $2000 to $3000 per treatment.
Is it worth it? Well, you have to sort that out with your pocket.
Is it popular already? Definitely. Los Angeles plastic surgeon Sheila Nazarian, who performs up to four of these procedures weekly, confirms that most of her clients are “very successful people in the limelight who don’t want to have pit stains.”
