What is Laser Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Laser axillary hyperhidrosis treatment is a safe, minimally invasive, effective solution for permanently destroying sweat glands.
The treatment is performed with a 1064nnm Nd:YAG laser. Laser treatments are among the least invasive of all surgical techniques, scarring and patient immobilization are not a concern.
How does Laser Hyperhidrosis Treatment work?
Laser light is used to permanently destroy axillary sweat glands by photoselectively heating sweat gland tissue without damaging any surrounding tissue. The procedure is performed under local anesthetic and is finished in less than an hour.
The general steps of the treatment are as follows:
Step 1 – LOCATE: Before the operation, the underarms are coated with iodine and the starch is used to identify the precise location of the sweat glands.
Step 2 – IRRADIATE: A 3 mm incision is made through which a cannula with an optical fiber is passed. Through this optical fiber a QCW 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser beam is fired. This beam
destroys the sweat glands.

What are the benefits?
Treatments are less invasive and the treated area heals faster.
The whole operation takes about one hour, and patients can return to their normal activities within a few hours of treatment, leading to a full recovery within four to seven days. Because the procedure is performed through a small incision, it doesn’t leave any scarring.
