ABOUT SWEAT REDUCTION
Call for Pricing
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that exceeds the body’s normal regulatory needs. This condition can impact multiple areas, including the underarms, palms, feet, and back. The excessive perspiration can lead to issues such as unpleasant odor, caused by bacterial, fungal, or yeast growth on the moist skin. The effects of hyperhidrosis can be significant, disrupting daily activities, social interactions, and emotional well-being. Those affected often face anxiety, depression, and embarrassment, and the condition usually persists without improvement over time. Fortunately, hyperhidrosis can be effectively managed with treatments such as neurotoxins or Morpheus8, offering relief and improved quality of life.

how it works
NEUROTOXINS
Neurotoxin treatments, such as Botox® and Jeuveau®, provide a highly effective approach for managing hyperhidrosis by directly addressing the nerves responsible for sweat gland activation. These neurotoxins work by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that normally signals the sweat glands to produce sweat. When the neurotoxin is injected into the areas affected by excessive sweating, it disrupts the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production. This targeted intervention ensures that the overactive nerves are specifically addressed, leading to a significant reduction in sweat output. By focusing on the precise locations of the sweat glands, neurotoxin treatments offer a tailored solution to control and alleviate the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.
MORPHEUS8
Morpheus8 offers an innovative solution for treating hyperhidrosis by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target and reduce excessive sweating. This advanced treatment involves using a device equipped with fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy to the underlying tissues. The heat from the radiofrequency energy specifically disrupts and deactivates the sweat glands responsible for overproduction. By addressing the sweat glands at a deep level, Morpheus8 significantly diminishes sweat production, often leading to a noticeable reduction in sweating and associated odor. Additionally, the treatment can enhance skin texture and firmness in the targeted areas. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical option that provides long-lasting results, making it an effective choice for managing the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.

what to expect
New patients will undergo a consultation with one of Kimiko Medical Aesthetic's specialists.
Post-Treatment with Neurotoxins: After receiving neurotoxin injections for hyperhidrosis, such as Botox® or Jeuveau®, patients can expect several immediate and short-term effects. Initially, there may be mild discomfort at the injection sites, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising. These effects are typically minimal and subside within a few days. It is common to experience some tenderness or a pinching sensation in the treated areas. The reduction in sweating usually becomes noticeable within 4 to 7 days, with optimal results visible around 2 weeks after the procedure. The effects of neurotoxins can last for approximately 6 months, after which repeat treatments are needed to maintain results. Patients should avoid vigorous exercise and excessive heat for the first 24 hours to ensure the neurotoxin settles properly. Regular follow-up appointments will help assess the treatment's effectiveness and schedule future sessions as needed.
Post-Treatment with Morpheus8: Following a Morpheus8 treatment for hyperhidrosis, patients may experience some immediate side effects such as redness, swelling, and minor discomfort in the treated areas. These symptoms are similar to a mild sunburn and typically resolve within a few days. Patients may also notice some swelling and slight bruising, which will gradually improve. As the skin heals, there may be mild scabbing or peeling in the treated areas, which is a normal part of the healing process. The reduction in sweating usually becomes apparent within a few weeks, with full results typically visible a few months after completing the recommended series of treatments. Post-treatment care includes avoiding strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and using gentle skincare products to support healing. Morpheus8 usually requires a series of treatments for optimal results, and follow-up appointments will help monitor progress and determine if additional sessions are needed.
