Hyperhidrosis Treatment with SlimLipo

Stop Excessive Sweating Permanently with SlimLipo™ Laser Lipolysis

Do you ever sweat too much? Do you sometimes wonder why this happens or how to make it go away? Does excessive sweating interfere with your daily activities? Are unpleasant stains exposed every time you raise your arms... even in normal situations? Nearly 2.8 percent or approximately 3 million Americans suffer from an excessive sweating condition called hyperhidrosis. In Asian communities and countries, the incidence is about double that level. It's estimated that less than half of affected Americans have sought treatment - perhaps because they don't know treatment is available.

In the past the only interventional treatment was either surgical or the use of Botox™. Not only are Botox Injections expensive, usually $1000 per treatment, but they are short lasting (usually six months). We announced in March that the treatment of choice for axillary hyperhidrosis is a new application of the SlimLipo laser system. It was accidentally discovered by Palomar Medical that SlimLipo™ laser lipolysis will abolish the sweat glands in the armpit area for a more permanent result (90% success rate). Since the sweat glands reside in the axillary fat cells then the SlimLipo laser platform is an effective ablative treatment. This treatment may be performed under local anesthesia with no down time. The fee for this procedure is usually around $2000 and if performed with another SlimLipo procedure then the cost is reduced to about $1200.
