It is performed on an outpatient basis with no overnight stay and is typically completed in less than 30 minutes. It is performed under general anesthesia and patients are completely asleep. The procedure is performed through two tiny incisions under each arm, requiring no bandages when healing. Typically, there is only minimal discomfort and most patients resume normal activities in 48 hours. The results are immediate and permanent. The procedure does not need to be repeated like other forms of treatments, patients wake up with dry hands. It is extremely effective, 99% of patients will achieve optimal results.
