Hyperhidrosis is a chronic medical condition characterised by excessive sweating, most commonly of the underarms, hands, feet or face. It can have a very significant impact on a person’s quality of life both physically and emotionally. Often sufferers struggle with embarrassment, and social anxiety. Workplace and personal relationships can be particularly affected.
Treatment options include antiperspirants, medications (oral and injectable), iontophoresis, and in severe cases, surgery.
Despite how significant and distressing the impacts of hyperhidrosis can be, people are often hesitant to seek treatment and usually put up with their excessive sweating for years before discussing it with a medical professional. There is a lack of awareness that effective treatments are available, there is stigma and embarrassment about seeking treatment, and costs associated with treatment can also be a barrier for patients.
Primary hyperhidrosis often starts during adolescence and is not related to an underlying medical condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is excess sweating caused by an underlying health issue or medication side effects. It is important to exclude underlying causes of excessive sweating before proceeding with sweat treatment
At Sweat Clinics Australia our specialist doctors will assess and advise on your hyperhidrosis. We specialise in medical treatments for excessive sweating. Medical treatments work by calming the nerves triggering the sweating. This significantly reduces the production of sweat in the treated areas.
In hyperhidrosis these nerves are overactive and blocking them reduces their activity and in turn significantly reduces sweat production.
Medical treatment is considered highly effective for treating hyperhidrosis. Studies have shown it reduces sweating by about 85% when underarms are treated.
We treat the axillae (underarms), hands (palms), feet (soles) and forehead. We also treat other body areas with excessive sweating after discussion with our doctors. There is no down-time and you can resume normal activities after treatment. Results are seen within days and typically last 4-6 months before treatment will need to be repeated.
Our underarm consultations and treatments (if recommended) are BULK BILLED with a referral from your GP. Fees apply for treating other body areas, medicare rebates are available with a GP referral.

Sweat Clinics Australia most commonly treats underarms, hands, feet, face and scalp as well as other body areas after consultation with your doctor. Our doctors also assess and treat whole body sweating.
Our doctors will assess your excessive sweating and advise on the most appropriate treatment for you depending on the nature and location of your sweating and your individual medical history.
Most people will need treatments every 4 to 6 months (2 or 3 times per year).
While sweating is an essential bodily function for temperature regulation, we only block a very small percentage of the body’s total sweat glands when we treat specific body areas for hyperhidrosis The armpits, for example, are home to less than 2% of the body’s sweat glands. Blocking the function of such a small proportion of sweat glands does not cause any issues.
The first treatment to try is a strong topical antiperspirant such as Stop Sweat Fix. Antiperspirants work by plugging the sweat glands to reduce the flow of perspiration.
