Are you looking for a lifestyle change? Don’t be concerned with underarm sweating or odor in Houston, Texas. Do you feel like changing your clothes multiple times a day? Do you have to do the dreaded sniff test before happy hour?
Are you concerned about the long-term effects of deodorants and antiperspirants? Underarm sweating and odor can be an embarrassing situation for many people, especially in the hot and humid Houston climate. While most people think it only happens when the weather is hot, it also can certainly cause so much discomfort during cold sweater weather. Primary Hyperhidrosis is defined as excessive body sweating with no true known cause. Not only can it affect the underarms, but also the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and even the face. Keep in mind that sweating is a natural, important biologic process that helps regulate our body temperature. However, in patients with hyperhidrosis, the sweat glands are overly active producing more sweat than is necessary.
At RISE Med Spa by Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery, our approach to treating hyperhidrosis goes beyond surface solutions. Led by Dr. Swapna Gopathi, a double board-certified physician and Director of Medical Aesthetics, and Jamie Poole, RN, Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist, our team specializes in advanced treatments that reduce excessive sweating safely, effectively, and with lasting comfort.
Under the medical direction of Dr. Ravi Somayazula, RISE Med Spa is a miraDry® Certified Center, offering both neurotoxin injections and miraDry® for comprehensive sweat reduction. Patients benefit from the precision of a physician-led team and the warmth of a med spa experience designed for real, confident living.
Dr. Gopathi and Jamie customize each plan based on your lifestyle and goals, using Botox® or Dysport® injections for versatile, temporary relief across the underarms, hands, feet, and face, or miraDry® for a long-term, non-invasive solution to underarm sweating and odor. Their focus is on comfort, safety, and helping you feel your best in every situation.
At RISE Med Spa, you’ll find a supportive team that listens, explains, and guides you every step of the way. With personalized care and proven technology, we make it possible to live confidently, without worrying about sweat holding you back.
Patients suffer from not only considerable negative physical issues, but also significant emotional effects as a result. These feelings include embarrassment, shame, self-consciousness, helplessness, and difficulty with intimate relationships.
Approximately 4.8% of the US population or more than 15 million people currently suffer from hyperhidrosis. Of these, only 51% have discussed treatment options with their healthcare professional per recent Dermatology studies. Contributing to patient’s embarrassment is the fact that there is a social stigma in popular culture associated with sweating. There is a perception that people who sweat do not care about their personal hygiene. This makes it difficult to talk with their doctors about their situation. People between the ages of 18-39 have the highest prevalence of this condition. In some cases, those who are dealing with this hyperhidrosis have kept silent for more than 10 years. It is also prevalent in the teenage years. It can be so socially devastating that patients do not even discuss their condition with their own family members. In the younger age group, unfortunately this can end up with bullying and severely decreasing their self-confidence.
