If you want to stop sweating for good
If you're just completely over the whole idea of sweating, it may be time for more drastic measures. Thanks to technology, there are ways to get rid of pesky perspiration for good. The FDA has approved select non-invasive, in-office treatments that can permanently stop sweating by destroying sweat glands.
Ultherapy is a quickie lunchtime procedure that uses high-frequency ultrasound to heat and destroy sweat glands. "The process usually takes about 15 minutes and patients see long-term, permanent results after just one to two treatments," says Frank. The total cost for both sessions will be between $4,000-$5,000.
MiraDry is similar procedure that uses electromagnetic energy to heat and destroy the sweat glands. This one takes about an hour and requires two sessions, three months apart at a total of $3,000, for the best results.
