Irvine, California "As a little boy, I already had sweaty palms. I was miserable because this condition has been with me all my life. I dreaded attending church or social gatherings because it meant I had to face others. Also, I had difficulty handing tools at work because everything I touched became wet. I am very happy with the result of my surgery. Thanks for curing my hyperhidrosis, I feel years younger. I highly recommend Hyperhidrosis Care to anyone who is suffering from palmar hyperhidrosis." For more testimonials, Click here	Helena, Montana "I tried medicine--from Beta Blockers--to lotions--to antipsychotics, but to no avail. I was using Drysol. At the beginning, it was great. I had dry hands for two weeks-in between doses. Then slowly, the medication started to lose its affect on me. Instead of applying once every two weeks, it was once every two days. I started to look on the Internet for other alternatives and found the website for the treating hyperhidrosis." For more testimonials, Click here
