Welcome to Brella in Austin, the hottest new non-surgical treatment for hyperhidrosis. Brella was FDA-cleared for hyperhidrosis of the axilla in April of 2023. Excessive sweating has long been a concern for many individuals, causing embarrassment and anxiety, especially in regions like Texas, where the weather can be relentless.

Our innovative treatments offer a solution to address your hyperhidrosis concerns and help you regain your confidence. Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It can impact various areas of the body, such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and more. Traditional treatments often involve temporary measures that have been costly or invasive procedures, making them less ideal for long-term management.

Procedure

Brella offers a revolutionary approach to treating hyperhidrosis in Austin, providing an efficient and minimally invasive solution. The treatment utilizes a specialized patch that targets and reduces excessive sweating in the affected area. It is designed with a specialized patch that can be placed over the axilla or area of excessive sweating. The patch is left in place for approximately three minutes, which effectively addresses the overactive sweat glands. This brief application time ensures that the treatment is efficient and convenient, fitting seamlessly into your schedule.

Benefits

Specialized Patch Technology

At the core of Brella’s effectiveness lies its specialized patch technology. The patch is designed to target and regulate sweat gland activity in specific areas affected by hyperhidrosis. This targeted approach ensures precise treatment, resulting in a significant reduction in excessive sweating without affecting the normal functioning of sweat glands in other areas.

Minimally Invasive Treatment

Unlike invasive procedures or surgeries in Austin, Brella offers a minimally invasive treatment option. The application of the specialized patch is simple and straightforward, requiring only a short visit to your healthcare provider’s office. There is no need for incisions, sutures, or anesthesia, making Brella a convenient and hassle-free choice for individuals seeking relief from hyperhidrosis.

Quick and Efficient Procedure

Brella treatment is quick and efficient, fitting seamlessly into your busy schedule. The application of the specialized patch takes only a few minutes, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately afterward. This means minimal disruption to your routine, ensuring that you can experience the benefits of Brella without significant downtime.

Long-Lasting Results

One of the remarkable advantages of Brella is the longevity of its results. While individual responses may vary, most patients experience a significant reduction in sweating that lasts for approximately three months. This extended duration between treatments minimizes the frequency of follow-up visits, providing convenience and cost-effectiveness for individuals seeking long-term management of hyperhidrosis.

Minimal Side Effects

Another key advantage of Brella is its minimal side effects. While some patients may experience mild swelling or redness in the treated area, these effects are temporary and subside quickly. The non-invasive nature of Brella reduces the risk of complications, allowing individuals to undergo treatment with confidence and peace of mind.

Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The journey begins with an initial consultation with a qualified healthcare provider who specializes in hyperhidrosis treatment. During this consultation, your Austin provider will assess your medical history, discuss your specific concerns, and determine if Brella is the right treatment option for you. This consultation ensures that the treatment is tailored to your unique needs and requirements.

Step 2: Preparation and Planning

Once you are deemed a suitable candidate for Brella, your provider will guide you through the pre-treatment preparations. These may include avoiding certain medications or substances that can interfere with the treatment, as well as following any specific instructions provided by your provider to optimize the effectiveness of the procedure.

Step 3: Application of the Specialized Patch

The Brella treatment involves the application of a specialized patch to the targeted area affected by hyperhidrosis. The patch is designed to regulate sweat gland activity and reduce excessive sweating. Your provider will carefully apply the patch to the specific treatment area, ensuring precise placement for optimal results.

Step 4: Treatment Duration

The patch is typically left in place for a specified duration(around 3 minutes per side), which can vary depending on the individual and the specific treatment area. This duration allows the active components of the patch to effectively address overactive sweat glands and provide relief from excessive sweating.

Step 5: Post-Treatment Care

After the designated treatment duration, your provider will remove the patch and provide post-treatment care instructions. These instructions may include avoiding excessive heat or physical exertion in the treated area, as well as any specific recommendations for optimal healing and results.

Step 6: Follow-Up Visits

Regular follow-up visits with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your progress and ensure the effectiveness of the Brella treatment. These visits allow your provider to assess your response to the treatment, make any necessary adjustments, and provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your hyperhidrosis management journey.
