Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Following a comprehensive consultation with a qualified healthcare professional, a personalised treatment plan may be recommended. This in-clinic procedure involves administering a series of carefully placed injections to help manage excessive perspiration.

The procedure typically takes around 15 minutes. Most clients resume normal activities shortly after, though individual responses and outcomes vary.

As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, which will be discussed in detail during your consultation. These may include:

• Localised redness or swelling

• Mild bruising or tenderness

• Temporary changes in sensation

• Rarely, minor weakness in nearby muscles

All treatments are delivered in accordance with current clinical guidelines and tailored to your specific concerns.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that is not necessarily related to heat, exercise, or underlying health issues. It can affect various parts of the body, including the underarms, hands, feet, and face.

In some cases, the condition may have a genetic component. For many, it starts during adolescence and can continue into adulthood. A full consultation is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment.

This treatment may involve the use of a prescription-only medicine and is only available following a consultation with an appropriately qualified healthcare practitioner. In line with AHPRA and TGA regulations, we do not advertise the names of specific substances or include treatment pricing on our website.

Primary Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes abnormally excessive sweating unrelated to heat, exercise or an underlying medical condition. It can affect the face, underarms, hand sand feet causing the sufferer social anxiety, embarrassment and occupational difficulties.

The condition affects approximately 1% to 3% of the population and usually starts in childhood or adolescents.

Although Diabetes, Menopause, Thyroid Dysfunction, Low Blood Sugar, some Cancers, Heart problems, Infections and Nervous System problems can sometimes causes excessive sweating, most cases occur in individuals who are otherwise healthy. Heat and emotions can trigger excessive sweating in some, some unlucky individuals suffer constantly regardless of mood or weather.

• Over-the -counter antiperspirants containing low dose metal salt (usually aluminium) or aluminium chloride.
• Prescription strength antiperspirants containing chloride hexahydrate.
• Oral anticholinergic medications
• Iontophoresis- a device which passes ionized tap water through the skin using direct electricity.
• miraDry- a microwave device to destroy sweat glands
• Surgery- A procedure called a Thoracic sympathectomy which is usually a last resort measure.

Although higher temperatures and stressful situations can increase perspiration, they don't cause hyperhidrosis. The condition is believed to be hereditary. If you struggle to control your daily sweating, experience clothing type and colour restrictions to accomodate your sweating, are self conscious/embarrassed or are avoiding sporting and social situations then you may be a suitable candidate for this treatment.
