Excessive sweating surgery

What is the procedure?

This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic to reduce excessive sweating in the armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis). This operation does not completely stop sweating but reduces it to a level that is socially acceptable.  The medical term for this procedure is endoscopic local sweat gland removal. Depending on the degree of pre operative sweating you may need up to 3 procedures to reduce the sweating to a satisfactory level.
