Hyperhidrosis
If you’re worrying about lifting your arm to hold the railing every time you get on the subway, you may suffer from hyperhidrosis—a condition that consists of excessive sweating. Over-the-counter and even prescription deodorants and antiperspirants often fall short of solving the problem. We offer several minimally invasive treatments that are proven to effectively treat problems of excessive sweating.
