Clinical Trial Summary

The InMode radio frequency Pro System with the Morpheus8 Applicator is a computerized system generating radio frequency energy, based on the underlying technology of Fractional RF. The Morpheus8 Applicator and 24 pin tip is used for the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis of the axillae

Description:

Study subjects will be consecutively screened and enrolled into the study. The study will consist of an active group that will receive 2 treatments with the InMode radio frequency Pro System with the Morpheus8 Applicator (with the 24 pin tip) and a sham group that will receive 2 sham treatments with the same InMode radio frequency Pro System and Morpheus8 Applicator (with a sham 24 pin tip). Treatment will be performed in a preheated controlled environment (T°≥22°C). Follow up visits will occur at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post treatment

Intervention

Device:
• Morpheus8 Applicator (with the 24 pin tip) in the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
After subjects meet the eligibility criteria, they will be randomized with a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment groups: Active or Sham. Subjects will receive two active or sham treatments, one month apart, with the InMode RF Pro System with the Morpheus8 Applicator and 24 pins tip and will return for three follow up visits: 4 weeks 12 weeks and 24 weeks post the second treatment
