Excessive Sweating

Sweating is the body’s normal response to cool itself. However, for some people the sweating is excessive and is more than required for the body to regulate temperature.

The cause of hyperhidrosis is largely unknown. However, we do know anxiety or excitement can play a part in worsening the condition as can certain foods and smells.

Excessive sweating can occur on parts of the body including the palms, soles of the feet, underarms and scalp.

How is hyperhidrosis treated?

There are several options to treat this, however at Australian Skin Face Body we prefer a non- surgical approach and choose to use muscle relaxants (anti-wrinkle treatments).

This procedure is often an effective treatment for sweaty palms and underarms with the treatment often lasting up to nine months at a time.

Please check with us to see if you are eligible for a Medicare rebate.

New treatments are available all the time. It’s best to see a professional to ensure you are receiving the best and latest treatment for your condition.

Please note, you will need a referral from your GP to see Mr Ian Holten.

*Individual results may vary. Any invasive procedure carries risks including infection, bleeding and bruising. At consultation, these risks, and how you can reduce them before and after treatment, will be discussed.
