Skin & Vein Center Becomes First in Michigan to Offer New Treatment for Excessive Underarm Sweat

May 21, 2012 - PRLog -- The Skin & Vein Center (www.skinandvein.com) announced that it has become the first physician practice in Michigan, and one of only 30 in the U.S., to offer the miraDry® procedure, a safe and clinically-proven treatment that provides significant reduction in excessive underarm sweating.

The non-invasive, in-office treatment, which involves two visits spaced three months apart, uses precisely controlled energy to permanently eliminate underarm sweat glands and create lasting results.  Each visit is performed at the office and lasts approximately one hour.  Recovery time is minimal, enabling patients to go about their normal routines following their procedures.

“We are thrilled to be only office in the state to offer this innovative technology at this time,” said Skin & Vein Center Founder and Medical Director Dr. Eric Seiger, a board-certified dermatologist.  “Already, we have seen an immediate impact in the lives of the patients we have treated with this procedure after just the first visit.  Now, patients from Grand Rapids, Ohio and Canada are calling to seek our help to relieve them from this serious condition.  Knowing that we are helping make a difference in the lives through our work is an amazing feeling.”

Excessive underarm sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition in which more sweat is produced in that specific area than is needed to cool the body.  Millions of Americans suffer from excessive underarm sweat, and for many, this condition is a constant struggle that causes anxiety at work, embarrassment in relationships and social settings, and avoidance of leisure activities.

Currently available in the Skin & Vein Center office in Fenton, the equipment will be moved to the organization’s Sterling Heights office by June.
