Stop Letting Sweat Run Your Day
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can make everyday moments stressful—presentations, handshakes, lifting your arms, even choosing clothes. If you’re wearing dark colors, layer after layer, or changing shirts to hide stains, you’re not alone. We treat the cause, not just the smell.
Medical Treatment for Excessive Sweating — Personalized at Catara Med Spa
We evaluate your symptoms, triggers, and goals. Then we recommend one or more of the following:
Botox® for hyperhidrosis
Temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Can meaningfully reduce underarm sweating for months. Suitable for busy schedules.
miraDry®
FDA-cleared device that uses thermal energy to target and permanently eliminate treated underarm sweat and odor glands. Results vary; some patients choose a second session.
Prescription-strength topicals / adjuncts
Medical-grade antiperspirants or lifestyle guidance to support your results.
Why Catara :Licensed medical providers • Private rooms • Discreet, HIPAA-respectful check-in • Clear expectations and follow-up.

How Treatment Works (Simple, Transparent)
1. Clinical consult (20–30 min)
Review history, assess severity, confirm candidacy, outline options and costs.
2. Your treatment visit (about 60–90 min depending on method)
We thoroughly numb the area to keep you comfortable. Treatment is precise and measured.
3. Recovery & aftercare
Expect temporary swelling or tenderness underarms; ice helps. Most clients resume work quickly.
4. Follow-up & results check
We review results, answer questions, and plan maintenance or a second session if needed.

FAQ — Quick Answers
Will I still be able to cool my body?
Yes. Underarm sweat is a small fraction of your total sweating. Treating this area does not stop your body from cooling itself.
Does it hurt?
We numb the area first. You may feel pressure or warmth. Expect temporary swelling or tenderness after; icing helps.
How many sessions will I need?
Many see meaningful relief after one visit. Some choose maintenance (Botox) or a second session (miraDry) for added reduction.
How long do results last?
Botox results last months and require repeat treatments. Eliminated glands from miraDry do not grow back; overall outcomes vary.
How much does it cost—and is it covered?
See the pricing bands above. Coverage depends on your plan and diagnosis. We’ll help with paperwork and offer financing.
Can lifestyle changes help?
Yes. Clothing choices, breathable fabrics, stress management, and adjunct topicals can support your results.
