Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive perspiration, more than the body needs for temperature control. In warm, humid Singapore, many people worry that their constant damp palms, soaked shirts or smudged make-up are “just the weather”. In reality, true hyperhidrosis is a treatable medical condition that can undermine confidence at work and in social situations.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis refers to abnormally excessive sweating that is not necessarily related to heat or exercise. While it is normal for the body to sweat to regulate temperature, people with hyperhidrosis may sweat excessively even in cool environments or while at rest.

There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:

  • Primary (Focal) Hyperhidrosis: This type commonly affects specific areas such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face. It usually begins in adolescence and may have a genetic component.
  • Secondary (Generalised) Hyperhidrosis: This is typically caused by an underlying medical condition or as a side effect of certain medications. It tends to affect larger areas of the body and may occur during sleep.

Causes of Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

The causes of hyperhidrosis vary depending on the type:

Primary hyperhidrosis

Primary hyperhidrosis is believed to stem from overactivity in the sympathetic nervous system, particularly the nerves responsible for stimulating sweat glands. The exact cause remains unclear, though a family history may increase one’s risk.

Secondary hyperhidrosis

Secondary hyperhidrosis may be linked to conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, infections, or menopause. It can also be triggered by certain medications or withdrawal symptoms.

If you are experiencing sudden or widespread sweating, it is advisable to consult a medical professional to rule out underlying health concerns.

Treatments for Hyperhidrosis at Mizu Aesthetic Clinic

In-clinic treatments

Botulinum Toxin

This is one of the most effective treatments for focal hyperhidrosis, especially in areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles. Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerves that trigger sweat glands. Most patients experience a significant reduction in sweating in a week, with effects lasting around 6 months. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated with little to no downtime. Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have hyperhidrosis or if I'm just sweating more than usual?

If you experience frequent, excessive sweating that interferes with daily activities or occurs without an obvious trigger (such as heat or exercise), it may be hyperhidrosis. A proper medical evaluation can help confirm the diagnosis.

Yes, botulinum toxin has been approved by health authorities for the treatment of focal hyperhidrosis and is considered a safe, effective option when administered by a qualified doctor.

The results typically last up to 6 months, after which the treatment can be repeated. Over time, some patients may notice longer intervals between treatments.

Primary hyperhidrosis tends to be a chronic condition that does not resolve spontaneously. Secondary hyperhidrosis may improve if the underlying cause is treated. In either case, appropriate management is key to improving quality of life.

Why choose Mizu Aesthetic Clinic?

At Mizu Aesthetic Clinic, we pride ourselves on our patient-first philosophy, offering medically-backed solutions tailored to each individual’s needs. Every treatment plan is customised to the individual after an in-depth consultation and assessment by our medical team.

Body Fat Reduction - Bra Fat and Flabby Arms | Miziu

Bra Fat & Flabby Arms

Stubborn fat around the upper arms and bra line is a common concern for many individuals, even those who maintain a healthy lifestyle. These areas tend to resist conventional weight loss methods such as diet and exercise. These issues can stem from localised fat deposits, skin laxity, or a combination of both. Addressing them effectively often requires a multi-faceted approach that considers fat reduction, skin tightening and collagen stimulation.

What causes Bra Fat and Flabby Arms?

Bra fat refers to the small bulges of fat that appear around the upper back and underarm area, especially visible when wearing bras or tight-fitting tops. This area may also be referred to as the “underarm bulge” or “back roll”.

Flabby arms, sometimes called “bat wings”, are typically due to a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone in the upper arms. This results in sagging or loose skin, which may be exacerbated by ageing, genetics or weight fluctuations.

These two concerns, while different in anatomy, often coexist and are commonly discussed together due to their proximity and similar treatment options.

There are several reasons why individuals develop stubborn fat in these areas or experience loss of firmness:

Ageing

As collagen and elastin levels decrease with age, the skin loses firmness and structure, leading to sagging.

Weight fluctuations

Gaining and losing weight repeatedly can stretch the skin and make it lose its elasticity and firmness.

Genetics

Some people are predisposed to store fat in certain areas of the body, including the underarm and upper back region.

Lifestyle factors

Sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and lack of muscle tone can contribute to the appearance of flabby arms.

Hormonal changes

Fluctuations, especially with age, can contribute to fat accumulation and decreased skin elasticity.

Treatments for Bra Fat & Flabby Arms at Mizu Aesthetic Clinic

Managing bra fat and flabby arms involves addressing both the excess fat and the lack of skin firmness. While regular exercise and a balanced diet can improve overall tone and help prevent further fat accumulation, some areas may not respond to lifestyle changes alone.

In-clinic treatments

Cooltech Define

Cooltech utilises cryolipolysis (fat freezing) technology to target and reduce subcutaneous fat cells. By exposing fat cells to controlled cooling, it triggers apoptosis (fat cell death) without damaging surrounding tissues. Over the following 8 to 12 weeks, your body naturally eliminates these dead cells through the lymphatic system. Applicators are designed to fit different body contours, including the upper arms and back area. Read more

Onda Coolwaves™

This technology utilises patented high-frequency microwaves to selectively target and disrupt fat cells while simultaneously tightening the skin. Onda also stimulates collagen production, making it a dual-action treatment that firms and contours. It is effective for areas like bra fat and the underside of the arms, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Read more

Enzymatic Mesotherapy

This is a bio-revitalisation solution that breaks down fat and fibrotic tissue. It contains active ingredients such as hyaluronidase, collagenase, and lipase, which act synergistically to improve skin texture and reduce fat deposits. This option is suitable for smaller, localised areas such as the underarm and bra fat bulges. This treatment also helps improve skin elasticity and may be used as a complementary treatment to device-based fat reduction methods. Results take about 2 weeks and may require several sessions depending on the amount of fat to reduce an individual’s response to the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is fat reduction permanent?

Fat cells removed via treatments like Cooltech or Onda do not regenerate. However, maintaining results through lifestyle habits is important as we are still susceptible to weight gain through the growth of existing and new fat cells.

This depends on the treatment type, individual fat volume, and desired outcome. Our doctors typically recommend a personalised treatment plan after an in-depth consultation.

These body contouring procedures are generally well tolerated and no numbing cream or analgesia is needed.

There is minimal to no downtime. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, although some may experience mild redness, swelling or bruising that resolves in a few hours to a few days.

Some treatments, such as Enzymatic Mesotherapy, may show early improvement as early as 2 weeks. Other treatments like Cooltech may take up to 3 months to see full results as your body will take time to naturally clear the treated cells.

Yes, Onda and Enzymatic Mesotherapy offer mild skin tightening benefits alongside fat reduction. Your doctor may recommend combination treatments for best results.

Yes, we often tailor a personalised treatment plan that combines technologies like Onda, Cooltech, and Enzymatic Mesotherapy to optimise outcomes for each patient.

Cellulite Problem | Mizu

Cellulite

Cellulite is the uneven, dimpled, “orange-peel” appearance that often appears on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Although completely harmless, many women – and some men – would prefer smoother skin. In Singapore’s warm climate, where shorts are everyday attire, it is a common aesthetic concern patients would like to address.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is caused by the interaction between fat cells and connective tissue just beneath the skin’s surface. It develops when subcutaneous fat pushes upward against the skin while fibrous connective cords pull downward. The opposing forces create a puckered or uneven appearance on the skin.

Several grades of Cellulite

Cellulite - Grade 1 | Mizu

Grade 1 (Mild)

Slight dimpling appears only when the skin is pinched.

Cellulite - Grade 2 | Mizu

Grade 2 (Moderate)

Dimpling is visible when standing but not when lying down.

Cellulite - Grade 3 | Mizu

Grade 3 (Severe)

Dimples and skin irregularities are clearly visible both when standing and lying down.

Cellulite - Grade 1 | Mizu

Grade 1 (Mild)

Slight dimpling appears only when the skin is pinched.

Cellulite - Grade 2 | Mizu

Grade 2 (Moderate)

Dimpling is visible when standing but not when lying down.

Cellulite - Grade 3 | Mizu

Grade 3 (Severe)

Dimples and skin irregularities are clearly visible both when standing and lying down.

In clinical practice we also describe soft cellulite (looser skin texture), hard cellulite (firmer nodules often seen in active individuals).

It is important to note that cellulite is different from loose skin or general body fat. Even lean or fit individuals can have cellulite, as it is more about the skin structure than fat content.

What causes Cellulite?

Several factors contribute to the development of cellulite:

Ageing

Thinner or less elastic skin makes cellulite more visible.

Lifestyle factors

A sedentary lifestyle, high-fat diet, smoking, and stress may worsen the appearance of cellulite.

Poor circulation

Reduced blood flow can affect collagen production and lymphatic drainage, contributing to a buildup of fluids and toxins in the tissue.

Hormonal changes

Estrogen, insulin, noradrenaline and thyroid hormones may all play a role in cellulite formation. This is why it tends to appear or worsen during puberty, pregnancy or menopause.

Genetics

Genetic predisposition influences skin structure, fat distribution and circulation — all of which affect the likelihood of developing cellulite.

While weight gain can exaggerate dimpling, even very lean individuals can have cellulite because the key issue is altered connective tissue, not just excess fat.

Treatments for Cellulite at Mizu Aesthetic Clinic

While cellulite cannot be completely eliminated, several in-clinic treatments and lifestyle strategies can significantly improve its appearance over time. Because cellulite sits at the intersection of skin, fat and connective tissues, a multi-pronged plan may often offer the best chance of visible smoothing.

In-clinic treatments

Onda Coolwaves™

This technology utilises patented high-frequency microwaves to deliver thermal energy that destroys fat cells. Onda also stimulates collagen production, making it a dual-action treatment that firms and contours. It is especially effective for body areas with both fat and mild skin laxity, such as the inner thighs or underarms. It helps to improve the appearance of cellulites and can be used for double chin too. This comfortable non-invasive treatment has no downtime, and around 6 to 8 sessions are typically recommended for optimal results. Read more

Cooltech Define

Cooltech utilises cryolipolysis (fat freezing) technology to target and reduce subcutaneous fat cells. By exposing fat cells to controlled cooling, it triggers apoptosis (fat cell death) without damaging surrounding tissues. While primarily used for body sculpting, it can also help improve cellulite by reducing the fat layer beneath the skin, resulting in a smoother appearance. Read more

Enzymatic Mesotherapy

This is a bio-revitalisation solution that breaks down fat and fibrotic tissue. It contains active ingredients such as hyaluronidase, collagenase, and lipase, which act synergistically to improve skin texture and reduce fat deposits. This treatment can target the fibrous bands beneath the skin that contribute to the dimpling effect of cellulite. It works particularly well for patients with more severe or fibrotic cellulite.

RF Microneedling

RF Microneedling combines microneedles and radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production to tighten loose skin and improve skin quality. Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats and breaks down fat deposits beneath the skin. This dual action smoothens dimples and improves circulation for a firmer appearance. Read more

Each modality targets cellulite from a different angle; our doctors often sequence them – for instance, starting with Cooltech for volume reduction and Onda to remodel collagen, then refining residual dimples with enzymatic mesotherapy. A personalised schedule will be explained in detail during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cellulite the same as fat?

No. Cellulite is related to the way fat is structured beneath the skin but is not the same as body fat. Even people with low body fat percentages can have cellulite.

The fat cells destroyed during treatment are permanently removed. However, maintaining results depends on lifestyle habits, as we are always susceptible to weight gain.

While it is a chronic condition, the appearance of cellulite can be significantly improved and managed with consistent treatment and healthy lifestyle habits.

Cellulite often becomes more noticeable as we age due to the loss of collagen, resulting in thinning skin, and reduced elasticity. Declining collagen production and slower circulation allow fat cells to push against weaker connective tissue, making dimples more obvious. Thus, maintenance treatments may be recommended to have longer lasting results.

This varies depending on the severity of your cellulite and the chosen treatment method. Our doctors will advise a customised treatment plan during your consultation.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as redness, mild swelling or tenderness in the treated area. Our team will ensure that your treatment is safe and comfortable.

Body Fat Reduction

Excess or stubborn body fat is a common aesthetic concern, even among individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise regime. Localised fat deposits can be difficult to eliminate through diet and physical activity alone, often leading to frustration and self-consciousness.

What is Localised Body Fat?

Localised body fat refers to pockets of fat that accumulate in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or under the chin. These areas tend to be more resistant to exercise and diet, as fat distribution is influenced by factors like genetics, hormones, and age.

While having body fat is completely normal and healthy, excess or uneven fat accumulation can sometimes affect one’s confidence or the way clothes fit.

There are different types of fat within the body:

  • Subcutaneous fat: Found directly beneath the skin, this is the most visible form of fat and typically the focus of aesthetic concerns. It commonly accumulates in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and double chin.
  • Visceral fat: Found deeper in the abdomen and surrounding internal organs, this type of fat is not typically treated with aesthetic procedures but instead requires medical management and lifestyle changes involving diet and exercise.

At Mizu, our treatments are specifically designed to target subcutaneous fat for aesthetic contouring and body shaping purposes.

Causes of Localised Fat Accumulation?

Fat distribution in the body is influenced by a combination of factors:

Hormonal fluctuations

Hormones like estrogen can impact fat storage and distribution, usually in the hips and thighs and particularly in women.

Stress and poor sleep

Chronic stress can increase cortisol levels, which may lead to fat accumulation, especially in the lower abdominal region.

Genetics

Some people are genetically predisposed to store fat in specific areas such as the lower abdomen, thighs or under the chin.

Lifestyle

Sedentary habits, poor diet, alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep can all contribute to fat buildup through higher calorie intake, reduced metabolism or disrupted hunger hormones.

Age

As metabolism slows with age, the body tends to store more fat and lose lean muscle mass.

While maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise remains fundamental, they may not be sufficient in addressing stubborn areas of fat.

Treatments for Body Fat Reduction at Mizu Aesthetic Clinic

Reducing body fat often requires a multi-pronged approach, combining lifestyle changes and where necessary, non-invasive clinical treatments. These treatments are not weight-loss substitutes but serve to refine and sculpt specific areas of concern.

In-clinic treatments

Cooltech Define

Cooltech utilises cryolipolysis (fat freezing) technology to target and reduce subcutaneous fat cells. By exposing fat cells to controlled cooling, it triggers fat cell apoptosis (cell death) while sparing skin and other tissues. Over the following 8 to 12 weeks, your body naturally eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system. Cooltech is ideal for stubborn areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, and arms. It is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction with minimal downtime. Read more

Onda Coolwaves™

This technology utilises patented high-frequency microwaves to deliver thermal energy that destroys fat cells. Onda also stimulates collagen production, making it a dual-action treatment that firms and contours. It is especially effective for body areas with both fat and mild skin laxity, such as the inner thighs or underarms. It helps to improve the appearance of cellulites and can be used for double chin too. This comfortable non-invasive treatment has no downtime, and around 6 to 8 sessions are typically recommended for optimal results. Read more

Enzymatic Mesotherapy

This is a bio-revitalisation solution that breaks down fat and fibrotic tissue. It contains active ingredients such as hyaluronidase, collagenase, and lipase, which act synergistically to improve skin texture and reduce fat deposits. This option is suitable for smaller, localised areas such as the double chin, jowls, or bra fat bulges. This treatment also helps improve skin elasticity and may be used as a complementary treatment to device-based fat reduction methods. Results take about 2 weeks and may require several sessions depending on the amount of fat to reduce and individual’s response to the treatment.

Lifestyle changes

Lasting fat reduction is best achieved when paired with long-term lifestyle habits. We advise patients to incorporate regular cardiovascular exercise, strength training, a balanced diet low in processed foods, and adequate hydration and rest. These factors not only support fat metabolism but also improve overall skin tone and vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is fat reduction the same as weight loss?

No. Fat reduction treatments focus on removing or shrinking localised fat cells to sculpt and contour specific areas. They do not significantly reduce overall body weight.

The fat cells destroyed during treatment are permanently removed. However, maintaining results depends on lifestyle habits, as we are always susceptible to weight gain.

Most of our treatments involve little to no downtime. Depending on the treatment, some individuals may experience temporary redness, swelling, or soreness in the treated areas. These will usually resolve in a few days.

Results vary depending on the treatment and individual. For Cooltech, visible results may begin to appear from 3 to 4 weeks post-treatment, with optimal results seen after 8 to 12 weeks. Enzymatic Mesotherapy may show visible improvements as early as 2 weeks while Onda Coolwaves may take a few sessions.

Yes, combining different modalities can enhance overall outcomes. For example, Cooltech or Enzymatic Mesotherapy may be used for fat reduction, followed by Onda for skin tightening.

Dry & Dull Lips - Close Up Skin Pores Face Care Routine | Mizu

Dry & Dull Lips

Dehydrated, lack-lustre lips can make the whole face appear tired. Because the lip vermilion is thinner and virtually oil-free, it is more vulnerable to moisture loss, sun damage and pigment changes than surrounding skin. Beyond aesthetic reasons, lip dryness may also cause discomfort such as cracking, peeling and sensitivity. While often overlooked in skincare routines, the lips are just as prone to environmental damage and ageing as the rest of the face. 

What are dull and dry lips?

Healthy lips have a vibrant pink hue, a smooth surface and retain moisture despite talking, eating or climate changes. When the protective barrier is disrupted, water evaporates quickly and the surface appears flaky, cracked or darkened. 

Dermatologists classify lip concerns under cheilitis (inflamed lips) and recognise sub-types such as actinic, eczematous, allergic contact, exfoliative and pigmentary forms.

Types of pigmentary change:
  • Diffuse hyperpigmentation – a uniform brown or grey cast.
  • Focal macules or freckles – small, well-defined spots.
  • Post-inflammatory marks – after acne, dermatitis or injury.
  • Vascular lakes – dark-blue swollen venules that mar lip brightness.

What causes Dull and Dry Lips?

Healthy lips have a vibrant pink hue, a smooth surface and retain moisture despite talking, eating or climate changes. When the protective barrier is disrupted, water evaporates quickly and the surface appears flaky, cracked or darkened. In some cases, flaking or persistent peeling may occur, leading to discomfort and an increased risk of infection if left untreated.

There are multiple reasons why lips lose their natural glow and softness:

Allergies and irritants

Certain lip products or toothpaste can trigger dryness or discolouration.

Ageing

Natural collagen loss over time reduces lip volume and hydration retention.

Lifestyle factors

Smoking, excessive caffeine, and poor diet can affect lip health and colour.

Lip licking or biting

Constant irritation breaks down the protective barrier of the lips.

Dehydration

Insufficient water intake or exposure to dry environments, such as air-conditioned rooms, can cause moisture loss.

Medical conditions

Eczema, vitamin deficiencies or chronic dryness may be underlying contributors.

Sun exposure

The lips have minimal melanin, making them vulnerable to UV damage which can lead to pigmentation and dryness.

Treatments for Dry & Dull Lips at Mizu Aesthetic Clinic

Treating dull and dry lips may require a multi-pronged approach that addresses both surface hydration and deeper skin health.

Daily habits and topical care

Regular application of fragrance-free lip balms rich in ceramides, petrolatum or shea butter, coupled with broad-spectrum SPF 30 lip blocks, prevents transepidermal water loss and UV damage. Drinking adequate water (roughly 2L daily for adults in our tropical climate) and using a bedroom humidifier help maintain internal hydration. Avoiding excessive licking or peeling of the lips also prevents further damage.

In-clinic treatments available at Mizu

Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster

These micro-injections treatments hydrate the skin from within by delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the skin. When applied to the lip area, skin boosters help improve moisture retention, texture and overall radiance, giving lips a naturally plump and healthy appearance. Read more

Pigmentation laser (Pico, Q-Switched Nd:YAG, Ruby, Yellow laser)

Pigmentation laser for the lips help target melanin to address lip discolouration and uneven tone.

All medical procedures carry potential side-effects such as swelling, transient bruising, cold-sore reactivation or temporary pigment change. A thorough consultation is essential; individual results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need?

Results vary depending on the individual and severity of the concern. Hydrating and polynucleotide skin boosters usually require three sessions one month apart before spacing to maintenance every 6 to 9 months. Pigmentation laser protocols range from 2 to 4 visits depending on baseline pigmentation and vascularity.

Most patients tolerate the procedures well. Numbing cream will be applied prior to laser or injectable treatments to minimise discomfort.

Downtime is minimal, especially for lasers. For injectables, you may experience slight swelling or bruising that will subside within a few days.

We recommend avoiding makeup or lip products for 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to heal and reduce the risk of infection.

While the treatments provide long-lasting results, regular maintenance and proper lip care are important to prolong their benefits.
