Hyperhidrosis, or Excessive Sweating, is considered sweating beyond the bodies physiological need for regulating body temperature. It is generally an inherited condition and commonly affects the hands, feet, armpits and face. It is a condition that affects millions of people around the world; and although high temperatures or stress can increase perspiration, they don’t cause hyperhidrosis. It is also important to note that excessive sweating may also be a warning sign of other conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, infections or even menopause. Until now, excessive sweating has been difficult to control. At Cosmos Clinic, we offer a non-surgical treatment for hyperhidrosis that delivers long-lasting improvements. It is ultimately a non-invasive procedure that mimics the results of an Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy, which is quite invasive.

With this hyperhidrosis treatment, a series of tiny injections are made in the targeted area. The injected substance enters the specific glands in the underarms responsible for excessive sweating. Once there, it blocks the release of a chemical that signals the perspiration. The injections takes up to 40 minutes and is a walk in-walk out procedure.
