  • Is Hyperhidrosis Treatment safe?

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.
