What is Brella?
The Brella 3-Minute SweatControl Patch is a new, FDA-cleared in-office approach to sweat control that is safe, quick, comfortable, non-invasive, needle-free, aluminum-free, and affordable, with results lasting three to four months and longer in some. After just one treatment, the Patch targets your overactive sweat glands to significantly reduce sweat production due to primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
This non-invasive treatment is a quick, comfortable process done in our office. We will apply a single-use, disposable 3-minute SweatControl patch to your underarm for up to three minutes. The treated area may start to feel warm as the time passes after the Patch is applied. You may also feel some sensations such as pins and needles or stinging, which is an indication that the Patch is interacting with your sweat. The Patch will be removed after the first underarm is treated and a new patch will be applied to your other underarm.
