Hyperhidrosis is a common medical condition that is characterized by excessive sweating. It’s normal to sweat when it’s hot, during exercise, or when you’re nervous. But if you sweat excessively despite an absence of obvious triggers, then you might have hyperhidrosis. If left untreated, hyperhidrosis can be embarrassing, and the sweat stains can ruin your favorite shirts. Regain control of your life by visiting a medical spa to ask about getting treated with miraDry.

How It Works
This technology is an FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment for giving hyperhidrosis patients lasting relief of excessive underarm sweating. It works by emitting electromagnetic energy from a handheld device. The med spa provider directs the energy at the underarm skin, and it penetrates through to the sweat glands. Through the process of thermolysis, the sweat glands are destroyed. Since sweat glands cannot regenerate, the treated glands can no longer produce sweat. Everyone needs sweat glands, but the ones in your armpits are superfluous. The majority of your sweat glands are located elsewhere, so your body will continue to function as it should without the glands in the underarms.

What It Feels Like
Since you’ll have your underarms numbed before the treatment, you shouldn’t feel much of anything. You’ll be comfortably reclined during your treatment, which should last about an hour. Once the numbness wears off, you may experience some swelling, tingling, and soreness in the underarm area. These side effects will go away within a few days to a few weeks.

How Many Treatments You’ll Need
Most patients get great results with just one treatment. However, everyone is a little different. Your medical spa provider will recommend an appropriate treatment plan for you.

What to Expect Afterward
You can return to your usual activities right after your appointment. However, you should avoid exercise for a few days. Your underarms may be a little uncomfortable during this time.

At EpiCentre, it’s our mission to help you feel confident with your body. If you’d like to learn more about miraDry, or about our anti-aging treatments available in Dallas, we invite you to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a provider. Get in touch today at (214) 887-1577.

Women go through many changes over a lifetime, including changes to their vaginal health. Childbirth causes the vaginal tissue to stretch and sustain damage. Other changes, such as menopause, cause declines in estrogen levels. This makes the vaginal walls drier, thinner, and inflamed. These vaginal changes can affect a woman’s self-confidence, sexual health, and emotional wellness. Now, there’s a revolutionary laser treatment to improve vaginal health: diVa therapy.

Visit a med spa to ask if diVa therapy might be right for you. The treatment takes only three to five minutes, and it causes minimal discomfort. No anesthetic is necessary, but you can ask for a topical anesthetic if you have a low pain tolerance. Afterward, you can resume your normal activities right away. However, you should avoid sexual activity for 48 hours.

EpiCentre is a leading med spa in Dallas that provides a full menu of state-of-the-art services, including diVa therapy. You can request your confidential consultation by calling (214) 887-1577.

The permanent destruction of fat cells sounds like a dream come true for many men and women. With CoolSculpting, it can be a reality. CoolSculpting is a safe, noninvasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses cryolipolysis technology to destroy fat cells, while leaving other tissues alone. During the next few weeks, your body naturally gets rid of the dead fat cells. Once fat cells are destroyed, your body can’t regenerate them. However, it’s still possible to regain fat in the treated areas, since the remaining fat cells can become larger. Healthy lifestyle choices will let you maintain your CoolSculpting results for a lifetime.

Stay aware of your body and its changes.
Body awareness is something you can practice. Some CoolSculpting patients like to weigh themselves regularly to make sure they aren’t slipping with their meal plans. Remember that small fluctuations in weight are normal. If your scale reveals that you’ve suddenly gained two pounds overnight, it’s due to water weight, not fat. Practice mindfulness while enjoying meals too. People who eat in a distraction-free environment are less likely to overeat. Some fitness enthusiasts also swear by yoga for developing greater body awareness.

Embrace an active lifestyle.
As a general rule of thumb, most adults should try to exercise for at least 30 minutes at least five days per week, plus a couple of strength training sessions during the week. But even if you exercise regularly, it won’t do much good if the rest of your day is spent sitting down. Try to work more physical activity into your entire day. Do chair exercises at your desk, walk to a park on your lunch break, or challenge the neighborhood kids to shoot some hoops with you.

Kick the sugar habit.
Some nutrition experts argue that too much sugar can be even worse than too much fat in your diet. Sugar can even cause changes in the brain, making you crave even more sugar. Avoid foods with added sugar, and instead satisfy your sweet tooth with fresh fruit. Your waistline will thank you.

If you’re curious about CoolSculpting and live near Dallas, you can consult a provider at EpiCentre. We are a state-of-the-art med spa that is dedicated to helping our patients look and feel their best at every age. Call our friendly staff at (214) 887-1577.
