How Much Does Surgery Cost for Hyperhidrosis?

  We offer Precision Tx sweat gland ablation with the 1440 nm computer-controlled laser from Cynosure. In a single treatment, this procedure reduces sweating 80%, allowing patients relief from excessive sweating concerns. This is an in-office procedure done under local anesthetic, takes about an hour, has little down-time or post-op discomfort, and costs about 3,000. 

Our office offers miraDry which treats excessive armpit sweating or hyperhidrosis.  miraDry uses thermal energy to eliminate or greatly reduce sweat(82% reduction), odor and hair growth in this area.  It is done in the office, usually about a one hour procedure.  The cost is $1950 for the first treatment, and, if a second treatment is necessary, that cost is $950. I don't believe that this treatment is covered by insurance.

Hello and thank you for your question! Hyperhidrosis of the underarms can now be very successfully treated with Miradry. It is an FDA approved device that can reduce/eliminate underarm sweat, odor and also decreases hair growth. In your case, you would likely need 2 treatments and MAYBE even a 3rd however, I have performed Miradry on many patients who have been happy after their 1st treatment and have noticed such a reduction in sweat that they don't even feel like they need a 2nd treatment. Even if you need 2 treatments I think Miradry will be the best, most cost-efficient option out there. I do not think insurance will cover this. I wish you the best of luck!Ankur Mehta MD

I thank you for your question as it is not something that is easy to discuss. There is a wonderful treatment option called Precision TX which I offer on an outpatient basis. With one single treatment it is possible to achieve up to 80% sweat reduction which is permanent. A good estimate for treatment price in my practice is a flat $4500 which includes your procedure fee, facility fee, as well as anesthesia fee so that there are no hidden surprises later on. Financing is always an option with some great plans available to choose from. My patients handle this procedure very well and are faced with very little down time or recovery. I typically have not seen insurance cover this type of procedure although I encourage my patients to research all avenues. The Precision TX offers a wonderful answer to hyperhidrosis for patients who are done battling excessive sweat and discomfort. I hope that you have found this information helpful and I wish you luck! 

Our office specializes in Miraday. Miradry just got FDA clearance for elimination of all hair colors under the arm. It also has clearance for the elimination of underarm sweating and odor. Much cheaper than botox and permanent.
