Excessive sweating can be embarrassing and interfere with your daily life, especially in a hot and humid place like Florida.
The good news is that clinical dermatology treatments can save you from stressing over problematic pit stains. The board-certified providers at Aventura Dermatology offer the Brella® SweatControl Patch, a natural, long-lasting solution that can put control back in your hands.
What is the Brella SweatControl Patch?
Brella is the first FDA-cleared 3-minute sweat control patch specifically designed to address hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Clinically proven to reduce underarm sweating in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis for 3 to 4 months with a single treatment, Brella is an all-natural solution that helps decrease the amount of sweat your body produces with little to no risks or side effects.
How Do Brella SweatControl Patches Work?
Brella SweatControl Patches are a fast, needle-free, aluminum-free hyperhidrosis treatment. They use your body’s naturally generated thermal energy to limit activity in the sweat glands under the arms.
During your session, a thin sodium sheet with silicone backing is applied to the underarm for 3 minutes per side. The patches utilize a patented technology for Targeted Alkali Thermolysis, which accurately addresses sweat glands at the microscopic level to significantly reduce sweat production.
As a noninvasive service, Brella requires no downtime and is safe for all skin types. These quick and easy appointments can fit into a busy schedule while boosting your confidence. With fewer embarrassing sweat marks and stains, Brella SweatControl Patches also help you save money on laundry costs, antiperspirants, and replacing ruined clothing.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Most hyperhidrosis patients who try Brella SweatControl Patches notice considerable improvement in underarm sweating after just one appointment. You should see less sweat production within one week of your initial session. Results will also continue to improve over time.
Unlike other sweat control options that may be ineffective, damage the sweat glands, or mask the problem, Brella targets the source and offers lasting results. At Aventura Dermatology, our expert team will develop a custom regimen to help you maintain your outcomes.
Candidates for the Brella SweatControl Patch
The Brella SweatControl Patch is meant for adults with excessive underarm sweating who want a noninvasive solution. Ideal candidates include:
- Adults with bothersome underarm sweating: Those who sweat more than they’d like, even in cool conditions or during routine activities.
- Individuals with mild to moderate primary axillary hyperhidrosis: Those who deal with excessive sweating that interferes with daily life but may not require more aggressive therapies.
- People looking for a noninvasive option: Those who prefer an alternative to injections, prescription antiperspirants, or surgeries.
- Patients without certain medical conditions: Those without skin conditions, allergies, or sensitivities that could be irritated by Brella.
- Those seeking a quick treatment with minimal downtime: Individuals who want a fast, in-office procedure with little disruption to their schedule.
A consultation with a skilled practitioner, like those at Aventura Dermatology, can help determine if Brella is the right choice based on your medical history and sweat control goals.
Are There Any Side Effects to Using Brella?
Most patients experience mild or no side effects when using Brella SweatControl Patches. The most commonly reported symptoms were redness, swelling, and a tingling or pins-and-needles sensation at the application site. These issues should resolve on their own within two weeks or less.
Clinical studies have shown no lasting side effects of Brella SweatControl Patches – 80 percent of trial participants had no symptoms at all.

FAQs
Can Brella Be Used on Areas Other Than the Underarms?
The Brella SweatControl Patch is FDA-cleared specifically for use on the underarms. It has been developed to target excessive sweating in this area and has undergone studies to confirm its safety and effectiveness. While sweating can be a concern in other body parts, such as the hands, feet, and scalp, Brella has not been approved for use beyond the underarms.
Consult a qualified practitioner if you are looking for options to manage sweating in different areas. A specialist can assess your concerns and recommend the most appropriate approach.
How Does the Brella Patch Compare to Other Sweat Reduction Treatments Like BOTOX® Cosmetic or Prescription Antiperspirants?
The Brella SweatControl Patch offers a needle-free, noninvasive alternative to treatments like BOTOX Cosmetic and prescription antiperspirants.
BOTOX Cosmetic requires multiple injections to block sweat gland activity. However, Brella is applied topically in a quick office visit with no needles or intrusive methods.
Compared to prescription antiperspirants, Brella provides a stronger and longer-lasting solution. It also doesn’t cause the irritation some people notice when they use aluminum-based products.
