The Center for hyperhidrosis at Columbia University was established in the early 1990s, and has been a leader in the field of hyperhidrosis, treating thousands of patients over the years. Our commitment to this disorder is evident in our team approach to hyperhidrosis. We ensure that patients are fully assessed to exclude secondary causes of hyperhidrosis, and have access to all possible medical therapies. We strongly believe that all medical therapies should be tried, before considering surgical approaches.
