Excessive underarm sweating affects an estimated 3% of the population. Until recently there wasn’t a permanent cure. But now, certain surgeons trained in Vaser Lipo can permanently reduce this problem sweating. Vaser Lipo received approval from Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008. The Vaser procedure combines ultrasound technology with liposuction to remove the sweat glands.
The procedure itself is fairly simple. After fully numbing up the area, a tiny incision in made in the skin of the underarm, and the Vaser probe is passed under the skin. The doctor will gently manipulate the probe back and forth breaking apart the sweat glands with the ultrasonic pulses emitted from the machine. Then the destroyed sweat glands are aspirated via a small hollow tube. There is very little scarring or trauma to the underarm area, and the down-time is minimal. In all, the procedure takes less than an hour; you can go home soon afterwards and resume your normal life within a day or two.
