Concern
Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be uncomfortable and affect confidence, most commonly in the underarms. It is more than ordinary sweating and can occur regardless of temperature or activity.
A simple, well-established treatment can significantly reduce sweating in the treated area for several months at a time.
Causes
What Causes Excessive Sweating?
