Stay Fresh & Confident With Advanced Sweat-Reduction Solutions
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a condition in which the body produces more sweat than is necessary for temperature regulation. It can occur even without physical activity, high temperatures, or stress. The most commonly affected areas include the underarms, hands, feet, face, and scalp.
This condition results from overactive sweat glands that receive excessive signals from the nervous system. While not medically harmful, hyperhidrosis can interfere with daily activities, affect clothing choices, and lead to emotional or social discomfort. Fortunately, there are safe, non-surgical treatment options that help manage sweat production and restore confidence.
Excessive sweating can affect anyone, regardless of age or overall health. In most cases, the condition is primary hyperhidrosis (without a known cause), though it can sometimes be linked to medical or hormonal conditions. A consultation helps determine the pattern and severity of sweating, allowing your provider to create a customized treatment plan.
At Secrets Aesthetics in Orlando, FL, treatments such as Agnes RF®, neurotoxin injections (Botox®), and Scarlet RF® are used to safely reduce excessive sweating. These options work by targeting sweat glands directly or interrupting nerve signals that trigger sweat production, all with minimal downtime.

Treatments for Excess Sweat
Agnes RF®
Agnes RF® is a specialized radiofrequency microneedling treatment that targets and permanently disables overactive sweat glands. Using a fine, insulated needle, the device delivers precise RF energy into the dermis, the layer where sweat glands reside, to safely disrupt their activity without harming surrounding tissue.
Agnes RF® is especially effective for treating underarm hyperhidrosis and offers long-lasting results after just one or two sessions. The treatment typically takes less than an hour, causes minimal discomfort, and involves very little recovery time.
Neurotoxins (Botox® / Dysport®)
Botulinum toxin injections (commonly known as Botox® or Dysport®) are FDA-approved for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excess underarm sweating). When injected into the skin, these neurotoxins temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for sweat production.
Results usually become noticeable within a few days and reach full effectiveness within two weeks. The effects typically last 4 to 6 months, and treatment can be safely repeated as needed. Neurotoxins are also effective for other areas, including the hands, feet, and face, providing targeted and reliable relief.
Scarlet RF®
Scarlet RF® combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy to help improve skin tone and reduce mild to moderate sweating in localized areas. By tightening the skin and improving tissue support around sweat glands, Scarlet RF® can help reduce gland responsiveness and surface moisture.
While not a direct medical treatment for hyperhidrosis, it can be beneficial for individuals experiencing mild sweating in areas such as the face or scalp, offering aesthetic and functional improvement.
FAQs
What causes hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating?
Excessive sweating occurs when the sweat glands are overactive and produce more sweat than necessary. It may be primary (without a known cause) or secondary to conditions like thyroid disorders, menopause, or medication side effects.
Is treatment for excess sweat permanent?
Some treatments, such as Agnes RF®, can provide long-lasting or permanent reduction in sweat gland activity. Neurotoxin injections, however, require maintenance every 4–6 months for continued results.
Can multiple areas with excessive sweating be treated at the same time?
Providers can safely treat several areas, such as the underarms, palms, or forehead, in one session, depending on the chosen method and the patient’s comfort.
Are these hyperhidrosis treatments painful?
Most treatments involve mild discomfort. Numbing cream is used for RF procedures, and neurotoxin injections are administered with fine needles for a quick and well-tolerated process.
How long does it take to see results for the hyperhidrosis treatments?
Neurotoxins typically begin working within 2–4 days, with full results in two weeks. Agnes RF® and Scarlet RF® may take a few weeks for maximum results as gland activity gradually decreases.
Are these hyperhidrosis treatments safe for all skin types?
How do I know which hyperhidrosis treatment is right for me?
The best option depends on your symptoms, treatment area, and desired longevity of results. Neurotoxins are ideal for temporary, widespread control; Agnes RF® is excellent for long-term underarm relief; and Scarlet RF® can help with mild sweating in smaller or more visible areas.
