Do you ever find yourself with large wet patches under your underarms? Or perhaps your hands and feet are just constantly wet from the sweat.
This is a health condition known as Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Sweating is a normal part of being human, however, when you’re constantly having to change your shirts or wipe the sweat off your hands, it can become quite an issue in your daily life.
Our skilled Doctors and Cosmetic Injector Nurses can inject anti-wrinkle into the eccrine gland (also known as sweat glands) in your underarms, hands and feet to help calm the overactive glands.
