Non-surgical axillary hyperhidrosis treatment utilizes advanced Radio Frequency technology: SWEAT-X. This innovative approach treats underarm odor effectively without surgery and with no side effects.
Effective treatment for underarm odor: Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can occur in various areas of the body, often posing significant challenges to daily activities and social interactions.

Factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetics, or work conditions can lead to excessive underarm perspiration. The moisture creates an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive, resulting in unpleasant body odor.
Sweating Mechanism.
Sweating Mechanism
While both originate beneath the skin, standard eccrine sweat glands are located at the depth of 2-4 mm. They primarily secrete a mixture of water and salt directly onto the skin surface. In contrast, odor-causing apocrine sweat glands are situated deeper, at 6-8 mm. These glands produce a thicker fluid and are connected to hair follicles, through which the secretion reaches the skin.
This specific secretion contains proteins and fatty acids which, when broken down by skin bacteria, result in unpleasant odor. These apocrine glands are exclusively found in the axillary (underarm) and genital regions.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Axillary Hyperhidrosis.
- Effective solutions for excessive underarm sweating (Hyperhidrosis):
1. Invasive treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis:
- Surgical sweat gland excision.
2. Non-invasive treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis.
- Botox injection (temporary results, only lasting about 6 months) and the next-generation Sweat-X treatment (long-term results lasting 1-2 years).
The Next-Generation Sweat-X Treatment Mechanism.
Utilizing the combination of 2 specialized RF applicators at an electromagnetic frequency of 40.68 MHz. This gradually increases the temperature and maintains the temperature of the tissue below the skin from 40 to 48 degrees Celsius for 2-6 minutes. This thermal energy effectively deactivates superficial and deep-seated sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration from both types of glands.
Additionally,the applicator’s contact surface features an advanced cooling mechanism. Even though the temperature below the skin is high, the skin surface remains protected and cool, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the non-surgical Sweat-X procedure.
* Treatment Duration:
- Varies based on the treatment area. For the underarm area, the procedure takes approximately 30–60 minutes for both sides. A full treatment typically requires 4 sessions, scheduled one week apart.
* Advantages of Sweat-X Technology:
- Significant improvement in hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is visible immediately after the treatment, with long-lasting results.
- Beyond reducing perspiration, the treatment effectively reduces body odor.
- The procedure is quick with zero downtime, allowing patients to immediately resume their daily activities.
* Endoscopic Axillary Hyperhidrosis Surgery.
Invasive treatments for excessive underarm sweating include:
* Axillary Sweat Gland Excision Surgery:
After local anesthesia, the doctor makes a small incision of about 0.5 cm on each underarm and inserts an ultrasound device. The ultrasound waves will completely destroy the sweat gland follicles.
+ Advantages.
- Only requires one session.
+ Disadvantages.
- Requires a compression bandage on the underarm area for 1 day post-operation.
