Brella
The Brella® 3-Minute SweatControl Patch is a new in-office approach to sweat control that is quick, non-invasive, needle-free, and aluminum-free.
| Areas | Underarms |
|---|---|
| Cost | Varies |
| Duration | Up to a 3-minute treatment per underarm |
| Frequency | Varies |
What To Expect
How it works
When the Patch is applied by your aesthetic clinician to your underarm for up to 3 minutes, the sodium comes in contact with water in your sweat (sweat is 99% water) and generates localized heat that targets sweat glands to significantly reduce sweat production.
How we do it
The Brella 3-Minute SweatControl Patch consists of a sodium sheet with an adhesive backing. When the Patch is applied to the underarm, the sodium comes in contact with the water in your sweat, generating heat. The heat precisely targets your underarm sweat glands to significantly reduce sweat production.
How do I prep for my Brella treatment?
You will need to shave or clip your underarms at least 48 hours before treatment. On the day of your appointment, wear loose-fitting clothing (i.e., a tank top). Make sure you drink plenty of water, so you are hydrated. Avoid wearing deodorant or antiperspirant to the appointment.
Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
How long does Brella last?
Brella is proven to significantly reduce excessive underarm sweating after a single treatment with results lasting three to four months, and longer in some.
Does health insurance cover treatment for hyperhidrosis?
Some health insurance providers may provide coverage for hyperhidrosis treatment, but it is not guaranteed. Please discuss this with your health insurance provider directly to determine if you have coverage.
