ORTHOPEDICS

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition characterized by the production of sweat beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. It can have a significant impact on quality of life, causing physical discomfort, social embarrassment, and limitations in daily activities.


In our clinics, we offer specialized medical evaluation and modern, effective treatments for controlling hyperhidrosis, including definitive and minimally invasive solutions.


What is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis can affect different areas of the body, being most frequent in:


Armpits
Hands
Feet
Face

Excessive sweating can occur independently of heat or physical exercise and often manifests itself 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
