Frequently Asked Questions
Am I Brella™ candidate?
If you are an adult who is consistently bothered by excessive underarm sweating even when you are not exercising or are too hot, Brella™ could be right for you.
Who is not a good candidate for Brella™?
• Certain individuals are not eligible for Brella™ treatment, including children or adolescents who have excessive underarm sweating.
• Adults who have excessive sweating related to other medical conditions or in body areas other than the underarms.
• Adults with active skin irritation or infection at the treatment site, or with any abrasions, knicks, or cuts at the treatment site.
Is Brella™ approved by the FDA?
Yes, Brella™ is the first and only FDA-cleared 3-minute SweatControl Patch™ to significantly reduce excessive underarm sweating due to primary axillary hyperhidrosis after a single in-office treatment. In rigorous trials, Brella™ was proven to be effective, safe, and well-tolerated to cut sweat production by half while improving confidence and daily living.
How long does Brella™ last?
Brella™ is proven to significantly reduce excessive underarm sweating after a single treatment with results that last three to four months. Some participants in our clinical study had longer-lasting results, e.g., greater than four months; individual results will vary.
Is this safe to use on all skin types?
Yes, Brella™ works on all skin types and is proven to be safe and well-tolerated.
What happens during a Brella™ treatment?
The Brella™ 3-Minute SweatControl Patch consists of a sodium sheet with an adhesive backing. When the Patch is applied to the underarm, the sodium comes into contact with the water in your sweat, generating heat. The heat precisely targets your underarm sweat glands to significantly reduce sweat production.
How long is a Brella™ procedure?
Brella™ is a quick, comfortable, and easy in-office treatment. It takes up to three minutes to treat each underarm and only one underarm is treated at a time.
What will I feel during the procedure?
During the procedure, the treated area may start to feel warm as time passes. You may also feel some stinging, pins and needles, or other sensations that may become more noticeable as the treatment takes place. This will be an indication that the Patch is interacting with your sweat and the treatment is working. In a clinical study, patients treated with Brella™ reported an average discomfort level of 2.4 (on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is minimal).
What side effects might I experience after treatment?
Brella™ is safe and generally well-tolerated. You may experience treatment-related minor redness or irritation, which typically resolves immediately after the procedure. Some patients had tenderness or sensitivity that lasted up to 48 hours.
How long does it take to work? When will I see the results?
Many patients see results within a few days. It is important to understand that this treatment reduces excessive underarm sweating. Brella™ will not stop sweating completely. If you exercise or are in a hot/muggy climate, you may still sweat in your underarms.
How do I prepare for my Brella™ treatment?
You will need to shave or clip your underarms at least 48 hours before treatment. On the day of your appointment, wear loose-fitting clothing. Make sure you drink plenty of water, so you are hydrated. Avoid wearing deodorant or antiperspirant to the appointment, if possible.
Is there any downtime with this treatment?
Can I resume normal activities immediately post-treatment?
There’s no downtime after a Brella™ treatment.
If my sweat is reduced in one area, will I sweat more in another area?
This is called compensatory sweating, and it is a common side effect of treatments for excessive sweating. In a study by Brella™, this only happened to one patient, so it is not expected to be a common side effect, but it could happen. As results from a Brella™ 3-Minute SweatControl Patch treatment are temporary, if compensatory sweating occurs, it is expected that it will also be temporary.
When can I use deodorant/antiperspirant or shave again?
You can resume your normal hair removal, deodorant, or antiperspirant use after the treatment. But, if your underarms feel irritated or tender, wait until it resolves.
HYPERHIDROSIS
Despite being commonly known to treat facial wrinkles and fine lines, BOTOX® is FDA approved to treat inordinate underarm sweating
Hyperhidrosis:
Sweaty skin can be embarrassing. Many people in the United States experience excessive sweating. This common disorder is known as hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a strong contributor to many people’s self-consciousness. Our mission at Avo Medical Aesthetics is to help you feel more comfortable with your body. If hyperhidrosis is bothering you, we offer BOTOX® as a solution to restore your confidence!
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a common condition that causes excessive sweating, affecting 2-3% of people in the U.S. People with hyperhidrosis can experience excessive sweating in their underarms, hands, or feet. While hyperhidrosis may not harm anyone’s health, it is not doing their confidence any favors. Some people who sweat extensively may avoid certain things like handshaking and get as severe as avoiding social activities. If hyperhidrosis is affecting your quality of life, consult with our staff to find out which of our treatment options can help you!
What Causes Hyperhidrosis?
In many instances, hyperhidrosis can be a symptom of neurological, infectious, or other kind of illness. However, there are plenty of cases of people who live a healthy lifestyle that experience extensive sweating. In such cases, the temperature of your location and how you are feeling can be catalysts for hyperhidrosis.
What is our Treatment Option for Hyperhidrosis?
Despite being commonly known to treat facial wrinkles and fine lines, BOTOX® is FDA approved to treat inordinate underarm sweating. This well-known injectable can slow down the body’s production of sweat by disrupting neurotransmitter acetylcholine communications with our nerve cells. You can enjoy smoother underarms without worrying about embarrassing sweat!
