RF Microneedling for facial hyperhidrosis?

Question

I'm interested in getting this done for the reduction of facial sweating, but the doctor I spoke to was only familiar with using RF microneedling for the reduction of fine lines/pores/etcetera. Is there a difference in the way RFM is performed for the treatment of overall skin complexion vs. the destruction of sweat glands? For example, I can imagine that the settings (depth, intensity) might not be the same. Or is RFM just always RFM, regardless of the specific treatment goals. Thanks!

RF microneedling doesn't help for hyperhidrosis but you can do the treatment then apply botox or Aquagold it.  there is no cure for facial hyperhidrosis, I often will inject dermal botox for this.  its best to get Fractora + clear and brilliant regularly with laser genesis to keep it under control.  at home weekly ampule infusion with botox helps.  Best, Dr. Emer.
