Extreme sweating in NYC

Struggling With Embarrassing Underarm Sweat? PrecisionTx Offers Permanent Relief

You’re not alone if you’re dealing with constant underarm sweating that makes you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. More than 3% of Americans have axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) today.

Many people with hyperhidrosis feel frustrated when sweat interferes with daily life. At Greenwald Plastic Surgery, skilled plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Greenwald offers effective solutions for hyperhidrosis in NYC, Westchester County, and Fairfield County, including Greenwich and Stamford, Connecticut.

We understand how underarm sweating can disrupt your work, social life, and mental well-being. Stressing about sweating may make things even worse. That’s why we offer a long-term solution: PrecisionTx.

Understanding Axillary Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis happens when overactive sweat glands trigger excessive sweating. It’s more than just a nuisance — it undermines your confidence and can take a major toll on your emotional and mental health. Almost half of people with hyperhidrosis say they have a poor quality of life.

Traditional approaches like antiperspirants may not be enough to give you the lasting relief you deserve. While Botox injections are an effective remedy for hyperhidrosis, the results last three to six months, and you need regular treatments to maintain your results.

That’s where PrecisionTx can come in to help.

How PrecisionTx Works to Stop Underarm Sweating

PrecisionTx is a groundbreaking, one-time laser treatment to target and reduce underarm sweat glands.

During the procedure, Dr. Greenwald administers local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. He creates a tiny (2 mm) incision in your armpit and slides an ultrathin laser fiber through that entry point.

The laser fiber transmits energy to the sweat glands, heating them to cause deliberate damage. This damage renders the sweat glands largely inactive. Dr. Greenwald repeats the procedure in your other armpit.

The treatment process takes only about an hour in our office. 

PrecisionTx Results

PrecisionTx results appear within a few months in most cases. You can expect a dramatic reduction in sweating.

Our patients often call PrecisionTx a life-changing treatment, and we understand why.

It can free you from embarrassing sweat stains, uncomfortably drenched underarms, and constant clothes changes.

Most patients need just one treatment for long-lasting results.

A widening part and rapid hair loss in NYC.

Hair Thinning Alarmingly Fast? NeoGraft and PRP Can Restore Your Hair and Confidence

Are you alarmed by how quickly your hair is thinning? At Greenwald Plastic Surgery, we understand the emotional and mental toll hair loss can take.

Board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Greenwald offers advanced solutions to help restore your hair and confidence. Here’s how PRP and NeoGraft can make a difference.

PRP: Natural Hair Restoration

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a leading-edge treatment that uses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate hair growth.

During the PRP process, we draw a small amount of your blood and process it to concentrate the platelets containing the growth factors. Dr. Greenwald injects the PRP into your scalp.

With the most common type of hair loss, androgenetic alopecia, hair follicles shrink and go dormant (miniaturization).

The hair follicles are still there and able to grow hair, but without a stimulus to do so, they remain dormant. The growth factors in the PRP are that stimulus.

They nourish active hair follicles while promoting dormant follicles to grow new hair. In this way, PRP helps improve hair density, strength, and health.

We recommend monthly treatments for three consecutive months for optimal results.

Most patients quickly notice less hair shedding, followed by steady hair thickening. On average, you can expect significant new hair growth at four to six months.

You can maintain your long-term results with treatments twice a year. You can further boost your results with topical scalp solutions, oral medications, or supplements.

Around 80% of women and 70% of men get excellent results with PRP treatment and oral supplements.

NeoGraft: Advanced Hair Transplantation

PRP is an excellent option if you’re in the earlier stages of hair loss, but when you’ve already experienced significant hair thinning or balding, you may need a hair transplant to get the results you desire.

NeoGraft is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that uses follicular unit extraction (FUE) to transplant healthy hair follicles from one part of your scalp to the thinning or balding areas.

NeoGraft doesn’t require a scalpel or stitches, unlike traditional hair transplant methods. Patients often have a large strip of scarring with conventional hair transplants, but with NeoGraft, nobody can tell you had a hair transplant.

During the NeoGraft process, Dr. Greenwald uses a special vacuum tool to gently extract healthy hair follicles. He then separates the extracted follicles and gathers them, one at a time, using a special implantation tool. He never touches the hair follicles, ensuring they remain healthy and viable.

Then, Dr. Greenwald places each hair individually into the areas where you have sparse hair. Once there, the hair follicles continue to grow naturally.

This can lead to impressive results very quickly. Many patients need only one NeoGraft session, but you could need more based on your personal goals for hair density.
