MANILA, Philippines - For a long time, people have relied only on anti-perspirants and botolinum toxin to treat sweating. Unfortunately, anti-perspirants don’t last and can even cause darkening.
Botolinum toxin, a better option, is pricey and lasts only four months.
SweatX, a new, groundbreaking treatment for excess sweating and body odor, is long-lasting and can treat other parts of the body.
It is a safe, painless, clinically proven solution that doesn’t use drugs or surgical incisions, and has no toxins.
“Having hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating and body odor is not pleasing. It affects a person’s confidence, social and work life, and even over-all well-being,” says Dr. Jean Marquez, founder of The Skin Specialist clinic that introduced SweatX to the Philippines.
She adds that SweatX can be used not only on hands and underarms but also on the feet and groin area.
It can help regain confidence by significantly reducing sweat and body odor.
How does SweatX work?
According to Dr. Marquez, it delivers controlled thermal energy to the treatment area and deactivates sweat glands.
“Surrounding tissue remains unaffected,” she adds.
And it doesn’t affect the body’s natural ability to sweat or cool itself, as only two percent of the sweat glands is found in the underarms.
“The procedure takes only about 10 minutes per underarm and, since it is painless and has no side effects, one can resume normal activities immediately after treatment,” says Dr. Marquez.
Studies show that sweating is reduced – sometimes up to 30 percent — immediately after the first treatment, and improvement continues in the weeks that follow.
SweatX, recommended by two-time UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines) Most Valuable Player for Women’s Volleyball Cha Cruz and Ginebra San Miguel’s Nico Salva, doesn’t increase sweating in other parts of the body.
