Excessive Sweating Treatment (Hyperhidrosis)
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition characterized by sweat production beyond what is necessary for normal body temperature regulation. It can significantly impact quality of life, causing physical discomfort, social embarrassment, and limitations in daily activities.
At our clinics, we provide specialized medical assessment and modern, effective treatments for hyperhidrosis, including definitive and minimally invasive solutions.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis can affect different areas of the body, most commonly:
- Underarms
- Hands
- Feet
- Face
Excessive sweating may occur regardless of heat or physical activity and often happens even at rest.
Specialized Medical Evaluation
Evaluation is carried out by a physician with dedicated experience in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. During the consultation:
- The severity and location of sweating are assessed
- Possible secondary causes are excluded
- A personalized treatment plan is defined
The initial evaluation may be performed online, followed by in-person consultation or treatment as clinically indicated.
Available Treatments
Depending on severity and the affected area, different therapeutic approaches may be recommended. Among the available options, MiraDry stands out for the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis.
MiraDry – A Definitive Treatment for Underarm Sweating
MiraDry is one of the most advanced treatments currently available for axillary hyperhidrosis.
It is a procedure that is:
- Non-surgical
- Safe and minimally invasive
- Performed under local anesthesia
- Does not require hospitalization
- Allows return home on the same day
The system uses controlled electromagnetic energy to permanently eliminate sweat glands in the underarms. Once removed, these glands do not regenerate.
Benefits of MiraDry
- Significant and long-lasting sweat reduction
- Reduction of underarm odor
- Partial reduction of hair in the treated area
- Improvement in quality of life and self-confidence
- FDA-approved treatment
MiraDry is FDA-approved (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for the permanent reduction of underarm sweat, supporting its clinical safety and effectiveness.
Most patients require one to two sessions, depending on individual needs.
MiraDry treatment is performed exclusively at our FMC Quinta do Lago unit by a trained and certified medical team.

- Experience persistent excessive underarm sweating
- Feel social, emotional, or professional impact due to sweating
