Final Update

It's now been 1 year and 3 months since my 1st procedure, and 9 months since my 2nd procedure. Unfortunately I am one of the unlucky patients - my sweating has returned 100%. As such, I have adjusted my rating accordingly to "Not worth it". My armpits are still lumpy, but pain free. As it stands, I cannot justify going for a 3rd treatment just in case it didn't work.

Did you get your money back? You paid (twice!) for a treatment that didn't work...

I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION! I am SO VERY interested in getting this procedure done, but I have doubts because for people who actually wait a year post-op, many of them say that the sweating returned. So did this person get their money back? Is there a guarantee at all? I think the price should be closer to $300 per session rather than $1500 per session. I just cannot imagine spending thousands for a few weeks/months of sweat relief. If it was permanent, that's another story. Hey Wills123, did yo ever tell the clinic/doctor that you would like your money back? Or at least tried for a few more free treatments?

Yeah, I'm surprised he gave such a positive review of this doctor when the procedure didn't work yet he didn't mention getting his money back! Seems like people who undergo procedures have a lot less rights than shoppers buying a pair of jeans, and yet there are real risks with any procedure.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. There is a patented undershirt that is guaranteed to block underarm sweat called the Thompson Tee with Hydro-Shield Sweatproof Technology. Non-invasive and considerably less expensive. Machine washer and dryer safe so as convenient as your regular undershirt. Life changing for me so I highly recommend it. Good luck!

It seems my previous review update did post or has been removed. Anyway, here is a brief update:

- Side effects: nearly fully healed. Still tender if pressed. Hair growth returned. No issues or concerns here.

- Results: the important bit! I would say my sweating has reduced about 60-70%. As stated previously, I now only sweat when nervous/anxious; it's still more than the average person, but less than I did before! If these results last I will be fairly happy. I would love to be closer to the 90-95% reduction mark, but, as they say, progress not perfection!

I'll put a reminder in my diary to update this at the 6 month mark.

thanks so much for taking time to follow up and keep the comments coming longer term. It's so helpful to be able to read your full story. I had no concern about the procedure, but I am concerned about the long term, but even getting to 70-80% reduction would be great! I have read another comment where another user went back for a 3rd treatment (!) to get even better results as the doctor had a "guarantee" for 80% reduction. Would you do the treatment again??

Hello Hopeful46, You are most welcome. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. In response to your question: no, I wouldn't have a third treatment (not at full price anyway). I'm about to do my final update - but in short, my sweating is back to normal; and I still have lumpy armpits (but no pain). Sadly I do not believe this treatment works for me in the long term.

Hi there I've only now read your post and was wondering how your getting on? I do hope it's helped you enough to get on with your life as things like this can be a real bother. I look forward to hearing from you. Just a thought that popped in my mind, what's your diet like? :-) cheeky I know. Sorry.

Hi LML! Thanks for the kind words. I'll post an update that will address the first question. Second question regarding the diet: I eat gluten and dairy free; my diet consists 100% of meat, eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits and occasionally 85-90% dark chocolate (aka the Paleo diet). I drink alcohol probably once every 2 months. I do not smoke. Have you noticed a link between diets and hyperhidrosis? Hope this helps!

Hi there, thanks for getting back to me. I don't have what you have as such, but I do get very greasy skin and do sweat more down my back in particular when I find I get too lazy with my diet and I mean like a water fall,Once I get back on track, I improve greatly, but not 100% but much better by far though. I believe it's what's in our food(chemical wise) or what has been done to it that is the root to all health problem. I believe organic and foods in its original form is best. I avoid dairy as much as possible, bread, especially the sliced bread what I call ' putty bread'. Sugary foods, basically man made or altered foods and chemically induced foods. I completely avoid yoghurt- that was the worst for me. I don't drink orange juice or any fruit juice because of the way it's been processed-it's basically no good plus too much fructose sugar in one go. Nothing with too much yeast in it, and I never drink these canned drinks which are red bull, and any pop ect. No coffee either. A lot of these things can put the body out of balance especially in excess but in people who are more sensitive it doesn't take much and when it goes out of balance I believe it becomes acidic and more run down, some people are more sensitive than others therefore like your self and I, we easily get affected and have to work much harder to control it. No expert here, but diet, sleep, stress and excersice all have an effect on the body. Go organic as much as possible, I do eat eggs like you but I've changed to organic now. Drink plenty of water, do your best to brush of any stress- I get greasy when I'm stressed for too long, find something that really makes you happy, get those happy hormones moving! It is true what they say 'happiness is one of the best remedies'. I do find though, one fruit in particular that really makes a difference, that's blueberries. I try and eat at least a handful a day, gets expensive but that's how effective they are for me that is. I go two weeks without them and I'm starting to see a change, bit more sweat, bit more grease, so I get straight back on them. I do hope this can help, remember im no expert and what works for one person might not work for others, but a change in diet works for everyone. Take care for now :-)
