Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating can interfere with daily confidence, but it can be effectively managed with targeted treatments.
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. It most commonly affects the underarms, palms, and feet, and can significantly impact daily life, affecting clothing choices, social confidence, and professional situations.
The condition is caused by overactive sweat glands and can occur regardless of temperature or activity level. Medical treatment with Botox Therapeutic can block the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, providing relief for six months or more per treatment.
Why Choose Us At Whistler Medical Aesthetics?
Whistler Medical Aesthetics was built around a simple belief: aging is a journey to be embraced, not something to be feared.
Under the guidance of Dr. Sarah Kennea, an internationally recognized MD Codes™ expert, our approach is evidence-based and deeply personalized, treating each patient's anatomy and story as unique rather than applying the same protocol to everyone who walks through the door. An accurate diagnosis at the outset, backed by real training and experience, is what separates a treatment plan that works from one that doesn't.
Our clinic reflects that same philosophy end to end: a calm, unpretentious space with floor-to-ceiling views of Rainbow and Sproat mountains, a private complimentary consultation for every new patient, and an ongoing commitment to education so your plan evolves as your goals do. The result is conservative, natural, and progressive change.
