Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can significantly impact daily life and self-confidence. At VISAGE Clinic in Toronto, we offer advanced treatments designed to manage and reduce hyperhidrosis effectively. The primary approaches involve blocking the overactive sweat glands or permanently reducing their activity.
One common method involves injecting a specialized solution into the affected areas, such as the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. This treatment temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands, significantly reducing excessive sweating for several months. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately.
This treatment is highly effective and can be tailored to meet individual needs. Dr. DuPéré and the team at VISAGE Clinic will assess your condition and recommend the best approach to help you achieve a sweat-free and confident lifestyle.
This procedure requires no downtime.
Sweating is important to the body’s ability to regulate its temperature. Fortunately, sweating in the underarm and hand areas is not the only mechanism to regulate body heat. Inner body heat adjustment and regulation can occur via the respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. These mechanisms can work harder in response to elevated body heat.
During a personalized consultation, Dr. DuPéré will attentively listen to the candidate’s concerns and assess the extent of hyperhidrosis. A comprehensive evaluation will determine the most suitable hyperhidrosis treatment option to achieve effective and lasting results. Dr. DuPéré’s expertise in hyperhidrosis treatment ensures that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to address their unique condition.

Although many topical treatments exist, most are aluminum-based products that are either ineffective or very irritating to the skin. There are injectable treatments that not only weaken muscles and soften wrinkles but they also block the sweat gland secretion. Dr. DuPéré treats hyperhidrosis successfully by using these injectables, sweat-blocking agents, for the problematic underarm sweat glands. These injections block the nerve signals that cause the glands to produce sweat.
