Treatment of Hyperhidrosis With Microwave Technology
Although heat is usually responsible for an increase in sweating of the hair-bearing surfaces of the body, emotional stimuli control sweating of the palms and soles, as well as, in some patients, the axillae.

Carolyn Jacob, MD

Hyperhidrosis is the production of sweat above and beyond normal physiological needs, regardless of the ambient temperature, and it affects >4% of the population. In addition, a poll showed up to 21% of the population is bothered on a daily basis by their amount of underarm sweating. Despite the large number of patients who suffer from hyperhidrosis, there are relatively few effective nonsurgical treatment options. A new, nonsurgical, lasting treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis has now been developed using microwave technology to eliminate sweat glands.
