Hyperhydrosis
What is it? Excessive sweating beyond physiologic need for thermoregulation; present in 1% of men and 1% of women.
What causes it? Genetics. Emotional and physical stress can worsen it and it's usually but not always in the armpits.
Why is it a problem? It is embarrassing, interferes with dating and intimacy, and limits the texture, color and style of your clothing.
What is the treatment?
Our approach....

Step 2: Botulinum Toxin A ...such as Botox or Jeuveau
