What is Laser Treatment for Axillary Hyperhidrosis?

Axillary hyperhidrosis causes excessive underarm sweating beyond that required to regulate body temperature.

The Biotec Italia XLase Plus SLP Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser delivers controlled energy into the underarm tissue to reduce sweat-gland activity.

The aim is to reduce excessive sweating, not eliminate normal perspiration. Results and longevity vary.

Good for?

  • Persistent excessive underarm sweating
  • Sweating unrelated to heat or exercise
  • Excessive reliance on antiperspirants
  • Symptoms insufficiently controlled by antiperspirants
  • Clients considering an alternative to repeated injections

What happens during treatment?

Following a consultation and test patch, the area is cleansed and marked. Protective eyewear is worn throughout.

The laser handpiece is passed across the treatment area, delivering controlled pulses at settings selected for your skin and tolerance. Cooling may be used for comfort.
