I'm a physician (John Vine, M.D.) that treats excessive
sweating (Axillary Hyperhidrosis) by a procedure called
superficial liposuction. First, I would like to explain
Axillay Hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a condition
where your body produces more perspiration than is
needed to cool the body and maintain appropriate body
temperature. This means excessive sweating even in cool
temperatures and without physical exertion. Stress can
aggravate the condition, but the sweating can occur with
or without stress.
Axillary Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating under the
arms, is a problem that can lead to extreme anxiety and self-
consciousness. Bromhidrosis or osmodrosis are related
problems in which underarm odor, with or without excessive
sweating, is the main problem.
Secondly, superficial liposuction is a relatively new
procedure that has been developed in which stops underarm
sweating with NO compensatory sweating, using a one-time
process performed under local anesthesia.
Superficial Liposuction is a safe, minimally invasive
procedure for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis and
bromhidrosis, and it has a very high success rate. The
procedure actually removes the sweat glands in the armpits
using a liopsuction cannula.
This procedure generally results in a permanent 80% to 100%
reduction in the amount of sweating under the arms with
temporary numbness being the most common side effect.
Patients report they no longer sweat through their shirts,
they can now wear anything they want without fear of sweat
stains showing through the garment, and they also report
increase confidence and less anxiety about being around
other people.
I hope this information helps all of you who are suffering
from this condition and want you to be aware of this
procedure. If you would like more information go to
