The JetPro Needleless Underarm treatment is a non-intrusive and pain-free procedure that utilises a transdermal delivery system to help correct common underarm issues such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and dark underarms.
Using JetPro’s jet propulsion technology, nutrient-rich serums are administered deep in the dermis at high pressure without causing skin breakage. This, together with the right serum tailored to your needs, provide effective and visible results.
This treatment may also be used concurrently, for both excessive sweating and underarm whitening.
Excessive sweating / Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating can be psychologically damaging and take a toll on one’s confidence. We may even start avoiding physically strenuous activities or warm environments to prevent getting embarrassing sweat stains or clammy hands.
This can prove even more distressing with Singapore’s hot and humid weather — our rate of fluid loss can double, making it even harder to keep our sweaty pits in check.
When becoming a social recluse and stocking up on antiperspirants don’t work, the JetPro Sweatless Antiperspirant treatment could be the answer to your problems. This transdermal treatment could help with signs of excessive sweating by up to 40% and is non-invasive, painless, with no downtime.
What causes excessive sweating?
Sweating is our body’s natural way of regulating temperature and getting rid of chemicals in our system. However, excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a result of sweating more than needed to maintain optimal body temperature.
There are 2 forms of hyperhidrosis:
Primary focal hyperhidrosis The nerves responsible for signalling your sweat glands become overactive, even without triggers such as physical activity or hot weather. There is no known medical cause for this form of hyperhidrosis, although it may be hereditary.
Secondary hyperhidrosis This form of excessive sweating is a result of certain medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, low blood sugar or menopause hot flashes. It is a less common occurrence.
Although oftentimes the causes of excessive sweating are unknown, it could be borne from a myriad of factors, from genetic predisposition to taking certain medications — all of which can be further exacerbated by hot weather or daily activities.
JetPro Sweatless Antiperspirant Treatment
This needleless Antiperspirant Treatmentis designed to help reduce signs of excessive sweating by up to 40%. The Sweatless Serum is perfect for treating sweating in the armpit.
Using the JetPeel Pro, the Sweatless Serum is delivered to deeper levels of the dermis in a painless and comfortable manner.
The Sweatless Serum is a targeted solution, comprised of a combination of peptides and vegetal extracts that work in combination to limit excessive sweating by reducing acetylcholine release - a neurotransmitter that activates the sweat glands.
In a panel test study conducted by the University of Pavia among 12 volunteers, the results showed a 15% reduction of sweat amount after 4 weeks from the initial treatment.
What’s in it?
Sweatless is comprised of a variety of active ingredients to help treat excessive sweating, mainly:
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Pentapeptide-18 Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that activates the sweat glands in your body. These two peptides complement each other in helping reduce up to 40% of the acetylcholine release.
Hyaluronic Acid Helps retain sweat while keeping your skin hydrated.
Aloe Vera Gel The aloe vera gel has hydrating and repairing properties and helps calm skin inflammation and irritation. When applied to the skin, aloe vera gel forms a protective barrier that aids the skin in retaining moisture.
Ruscus Extract This ingredient has anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictor properties, which act as an astringent on blood vessels.
Equisetum Provides further astringent action on the blood vessels and helps in cases of capillary fragility.
The formula also contains Gingko Biloba, Hippocastani, Hamamelis Virginiana, Achillea, and Harpagophytum.
How long before I see results?
Although an estimated 15% reduction in sweat can be noticed within the first session, generally 4-5 sessions provide the most optimal results.
Patients are advised to wait 2 weeks before each session.
JetPro Underarm Lightening
Dark underarms are often dependent on factors such as race, health and genetic disposition. However, there are also instances when our underarms darken due to irritation of the skin from shaving or plucking, or a lack of exfoliation. In fact, anywhere from 7 to 74% of people experience some form of underarm darkening.
What Causes Dark Underarms?
Dark areas occur when pigment cells (called melanocytes) in the skin multiply at an accelerated rate. Usually, this darkening is due to a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans (AN), where the skin thickens and turns a darker hue in folds around the body.
Common causes that could lead to darker armpits are:
Chemical irritants in antiperspirants and deodorants
Irritation and abrasion from shaving or plucking can stimulate melanocyte production
Lack of exfoliation that leads to dead skin accumulation
Although rare, dark underarms could also be a sign of a more serious underlying health condition. In these cases, you should consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis if you have other additional signs and symptoms. This could be:
Obesity
Type 2 diabetes
Hormonal imbalance
Certain medication
Cancer
What’s in it?
The JetPro Underarm Lightening Treatment uses a Whitening Complex serum that acts as a pigment inhibitor to achieve a brighter and more uniform skin tone. The main active ingredients are:
Stay-C Vitamin The serum contains a high concentration of a stable Vitamin C that is resistant to oxidation. Vitamin C naturally protects skin cells from free radicals, inhibits melanin production, helps even out skin tone and enhance your skin’s radiance.

What can I expect during the Needleless Underarm Treatment?
Step 1: Lymphatic Drainage
The target area is treated beforehand with the Jet Detox Water to facilitate lymphatic drainage by detoxifying the skin and stimulating micro-circulation.
Step 2:Hydra Dermabrasion
A mild acid is then used to exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells. This helps prepare the skin to better absorb the serum in the next step.
Step 3: Sweatless Serum or Whitening Serum
The nutrient-rich serum is then administered deep into the skin layers of skin using JetPro’s jet propulsion technology.
Each session lasts approximately 40 minutes.
Are there any aftercare practices to take note of?
