Excess Underarm Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Around the world, excessive sweating is a condition that is experienced by millions of people.

For sufferers of hyperhidrosis topical agents such as antiperspirants are usually not adequate to reduce the excessive sweating. There are surgical and non-surgical treatments available for hyperhidrosis. The TGA does not allow any advertising of schedule 4 drugs used in these treatments so more detail will be given at time of consultation.

No more embarrassing wet, smelly patches!

After a treatment, sufferers find that they no longer drip and have discoloured clothing. It gives people a sense of freedom in social situations, where they would otherwise have been very self-conscious about their sweating. Most people experience a dramatic reduction in sweating within a couple of days of having the treatment.

The treatment takes just 15 minutes, and lasts on average around 9 months. It is not considered a cosmetic treatment, and there is a medicare rebate available for the cost of the treatment.

Many people consider this treatment for a special occasion such as an impending wedding, or a job interview, when the sweat glands will be more active than usual.

Possible risks include:

  • Swelling
  • Redness and irritation
  • Pain and tenderness in injection areas
  • Headache and nausea
  • Bruising
  • Compensatory sweating
