Many people who suffer from excessive sweating do not realize that there are effective treatments for their condition. Others have tried a range of treatments but have not been satisfied with the results. Brella™ is a new kind of hyperhidrosis treatment that gives you months of less sweat and odor.
What is Brella™?
Brella™ is a new, FDA-approved way to manage excessive sweating. This non-invasive patch is applied for just three minutes, and during this time, a chemical reaction acts on the sweat glands to deactivate them without affecting the skin. Brella™ has been clinically shown to decrease excessive sweating and odor significantly. While currently approved for the underarms, Brella™ may be approved for other areas in the future.
How Can Brella™ Help With Hyperhidrosis?
Brella™ deactivates your sweat glands using sodium, a familiar mineral found in salt. Sodium reacts with the water that makes up 98% of your sweat, generating heat inside the sweat glands. Your skin cells have a cell membrane that prevents sodium from entering, leaving them unaffected by the treatment.
When applied to the skin, the patch releases sodium to treat your sweat glands. The process only takes a few minutes. Your Capital Laser & Skin Care provider will remove the patch, allowing you to return to your daily routine without interruption. This quick, non-invasive treatment makes Brella™ ideal for busy schedules.
Who is a Good Candidate for Brella™?
Brella™ is safe for all skin types and tones. Most people with hyperhidrosis are good candidates for this innovative treatment. Candidates may be dissatisfied with their current treatment options or looking for a new, more convenient one. We recommend Brella™ for almost anyone seeking effective treatment for excessive sweating. You should not have Brella™ on broken or irritated skin, so avoid any abrasions in the area.
Is There Any Downtime After Brella™?
Brella™ is remarkably gentle to the skin, despite its effect on the sweat glands. You can return to your usual activities immediately with no downtime. The area may look red or feel slightly sensitive for a few hours after treatment. Follow any aftercare recommendations from your Capital Laser & Skin Care provider.
What Results Will I See With Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Brella™ earned FDA approval by demonstrating its effectiveness and safety. People who have Brella™ hyperhidrosis treatment may see their sweat production cut in half, reducing it to easily manageable levels. You may see results within a day or two as sweat glands stop producing sweat. Results typically last three to four months but can last longer for some people. With quick, no-downtime treatments, Brella™ is a valuable new treatment option for a frustrating condition.
Had a wonderful experience at this office. The parking garage was right across the entrance and they validate parking. The practice was beautiful and clean. The staff was friendly and professional. I’ve heard wonderful things about all the Doctors. I had my consult with Dr. Peters and she answered all my questions. She was delicate with her filler placement and had my lips perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this practice.
Capital laser and skin care is the best dermatology practice I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen both Dr. Peters and Dr. Tanzi, who are both extremely intelligent, caring, highly skilled, practical – and gorgeous! The staff is excellent – very caring, skilled, excellent training, professional, and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Capital Laser to anyone seeking to take fabulous care of their skin. You will be in the best hands here.
