  • Is Hyperhidrosis Treatment safe?

    Yes, Hyperhidrosis Treatment is very safe. We prioritize patient safety above all else. We use Dysport®, a substance approved by Health Canada for its safety and efficacy in treating hyperhidrosis. This treatment has undergone extensive clinical trials and has been proven safe for use in treating excessive sweating. 


    Our nurse injector, Priscilla, conducts these treatments with the utmost precision, following stringent safety protocols. Post-treatment care instructions are also provided to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Moreover, before any procedure, we conduct a thorough consultation to assess your health status and suitability for the treatment. This commitment to safety ensures a seamless and worry-free experience for our patients.


  • Will Hyperhidrosis treatment completely stop my sweating?

    While hyperhidrosis treatments are designed to dramatically reduce excessive sweating, they do not halt the process entirely. Some level of perspiration is necessary for the body's natural temperature regulation and detoxification processes. 


    Therefore, while you can expect a significant reduction in sweat production in the treated areas, a certain degree of sweating will still occur to ensure your body functions optimally and maintains a healthy balance.
