Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, can be a distressing condition that affects your quality of life. Whether it’s excessive sweating of the underarms, hands, feet, or other areas, our hyperhidrosis treatment offers a highly effective solution. Using Botulinum toxin (Botox), we can significantly reduce sweating in targeted areas, helping you regain comfort and confidence
