RF Microneedling for facial hyperhidrosis?

I
Independent315881Aug 17, 2020

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!

In my opinion, microneedling RF (Profound, Infini and others) can be performed using reduced settings in patients with melasma. Pre and post treatment with bleaching agents are needed.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star
