Is Hyperhidrosis Controlling Your Life?
Hyperhidrosis is more than just excessive sweating; it is a medical condition that can cause significant anxiety and social withdrawal. Whether you suffer from dripping sweat from hands (Palmar Hyperhidrosis) or uncontrollable facial blushing (Erythrophobia), these conditions are often caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system.- Palmar Hyperhidrosis: Constantly sweaty palms that make shaking hands or handling paper difficult.
- Facial Blushing / Red Face Syndrome: Intense, uncontrollable redness in the face, often triggered by social interaction.
- Axillary Hyperhidrosis: Severe underarm sweating that stains clothes and causes discomfort.
- Plantar Hyperhidrosis: Plantar hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive, uncontrollable sweating of the feet, while Closed ETS (Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy) surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves interrupting specific nerve signals within the chest cavity to permanently stop overactive sweat responses.

The Solution: Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy / Ramicectomy (ETS)
The most effective and permanent solution for these conditions is ETS Surgery (Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy). Unlike temporary fixes like creams or Botox, this surgery targets the root cause. What is closed ETS Surgery? We utilize the closed ETS technique, which is a minimally invasive procedure performed through tiny incisions under the arm. This advanced method ensures:- Precision: Targeted intervention on the nerve nodes responsible for sweating and blushing.
- Minimal Scarring: The "Micro" approach leaves almost invisible marks.
- Fast Recovery: Most patients are discharged the next morning.
