What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical concern that results in excessive sweating even when the body is not in motion or hot. People who have hyperhidrosis usually have heavy perspiration in the palms, face, feet, or underarms due to overactive sweat glands that cause heavy sweating that might show up on clothes or cause dripping sweat from the hands. The condition usually leads to low confidence and psychological issues for people who deal with it. At Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery, our team is proud to offer some of the top treatments for hyperhidrosis, including miraDry®. For more information about hyperhidrosis treatment with miraDry, contact our office in Birmingham, AL to learn more and schedule a consultation.
How Does Hyperhidrosis Treatment Work?
Prior to hyperhidrosis treatment with miraDry, a local anesthestic is applied to ensure comfort. The miraDry device is placed on the treatment area and delivers miraWave™ energy to heat and destroy the sweat glands while simultaneously cooling the skin to minimize discomfort. Since sweat glands do not regenerate, the results are permanent. The treatment typically takes about an hour, and most patients can resume normal activities shortly after, with minimal downtime.
