If you need any types of Hyperhidrosis care, look no further. This place is organized and super efficient. The whole process was reassuring and comforting. I was fearful going to hospital due to COVID-19. They tested me to make sure my safety is not compromised. The staff followed extreme safety and hygiene protocol. I couldn’t be happier. The entire process was A rated! A big shout out to Torrance Hyperhidrosis Institute and its team!

I’ve been suffering from excessive face/head and arm pit sweat for years. I tried taking pills and every antiperspirant on the market to no avail. Through a google search I found R&R Surgical Institute and decided to explore. I’m glad I did.
From the consultation to the surgery, the entire experience was pleasant. Everything I was told was true, and after deciding to opt for both the head/face and arm pit procedure, I can say that it is no longer an issue. I can finally wear light colored shirts!
The procedure itself lasted 30 minutes and was relatively painless, even through recovery. I’ve actually tried walking and running to see if I could built head sweat, and I’ve never been happier with my results. Highly recommended!

Doctor and the staff are super professional. The doctor took his time to explain to me everything in great detail. Their approaches are step wise and then make sure that you have tried everything before they offer you surgery. Very honest.
