PrecisionTx™ targets the source of the problem by applying heat energy underneath the skin directly on the sweat glands. Downtime is minimal, and only a local anesthetic is used.

A local anesthetic is used to numb the underarm area so patients feel little to no discomfort during their treatment. A pain medication may be prescribed by the doctor at their discretion based upon the patient's level of discomfort.
For your comfort, we recommend that you have a ride to and from the treatment. If you have pain medication at the time of the treatment, you will need a ride.
The treatment is done as an in-office procedure in one of our medical exam rooms.
