A few months ago I was invited by Stip Manila - Ministry of Waxing in one of their branches (SM Megamall) to try their Stip No Sweat Treatment. This treatment is great if you're suffering from Hyperhidrosis or Excessive sweating which is very common for our underarms and feet.

As I talk you through the Strip No Sweat Treatment, I'll also share with you the Strip Manila and Browhaus interior in SM Megamall. Their branch here in SM Mega is very spacious. It's divided into two areas wherein you can find Browhaus on the left side, then Strip Manila on the other side. Both have 5 rooms to accommodate clients then a wide reception desk in front.
I also had the chance to interview Ms. Monique, Sales and Marketing Manager of Strip Manila and Browhaus, about their staff. I'm very particular with the person who's gonna do any treatment on me. Of course, we want to make sure that the person is licensed to do the treatment or at least well-trained and I'm happy to report that all their staff undergo intensive training and exams regularly. Some are even sent abroad for training!

Going back to Strip No Sweat Treatment, did you know that based on studies, there are 3% of the global population who suffer from excessive sweating? That's 211 Million people. Excessive sweating can lead to body odor (sweat + dirt) and body odor can cause lower self-esteem. I can relate on that. I try my best not to use any type of deodorant because it somehow stain or darken the UA, but when I do a lot of activities in a day and I admit that I smell stinky at times (we are all human! haha). So when that happens, I don't wanna be with anybody, I wanna go straight home to take a shower. What more to people who suffer from hyperhidrosis right?

There are different ways to fight sweat and body odor, mostly temporary like anti-perspirant and deodorants. You can also go for other treatments like Botox, miraDry, and surgery, however these have side-effects and painful.

This is one of their five rooms in SM Megamall branch. It's big and the foam is very comfy (they use memory foam as far as I can remember). They have this huge cabinet where they store their materials and tools. You can also put your things inside that cabinet (see the one with oval mirror? there.)
Your squeezy friends!

Before the actual procedure, you will have the Iodine Test. You can watch my vlog below to see the process. It's a must to know how sweaty you are and the areas where you should concentrate during the treatment. It'll turn black if it's too much. For my case, rating from 1-5 (1 being the lowest - 5 is excessive sweating), I'm only at no. 3 which is just average.
I wasn't allowed to blog the whole process but here are some photos during the treatment.
It's not painful at all. The nurse / staff maintained the temperature to make sure my skin won't get burned or hurt. The Iodine Test is about 5-10 minutes then the Strip No Sweat is 15 minutes on each arm so that's 30-45 minutes for everything.Me and Jenny! Hi!
Overall, I'm satisfied with my experience with Strip Manila's - Strip No Sweat treatment. The location is quite far from me who lives in the south but it's worth the travel. I love their branch here as I'm a fan of great decors and room arrangements. The staff are well-trained with the services they provide, reliable, and approachable.
I didn't experience any gush or excessive flow after the treatment which is the case with some patients. I noticed a huge difference! I'm no longer sweaty as before and I can go on with my no deodorant project except for days when I need to workout or when I have so many activities to do, I use the spray type anti-perspirant/deodorant.
