Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can be a stressful and embarrassing condition but there are treatments available to manage the condition.

We will treat all types of Hyperhidrosis and with a GP referral we will bulk bill any severe primary axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis.

If you are suffering from hyperhidrosis, try these things first:

• Use ‘clinical strength’ antiperspirants
• Wear natural fabrics (eg cotton, wool or silk)
• Manage stress and anxiety with relaxation techniques

If you are still experiencing troublesome sweating discuss these options with your doctor:

• Botulinum toxin (Botox^®) injections. This is a safe and effective treatment of all types of hyperhidrosis. Axillary (underarms), sweating of the hands, feet, head and face.
• Prescription cream (glycopyrrolate) can be helpful for excessive sweating of the face and head. This can however be quite expensive.
• Oral medications can reduce sweating. Anti-cholinergic agents such as Benztropine reduce sweating but can also cause dry mouth, light headedness, blurred vision, and fatigue.
• Surgical treatments and other devices are sometimes considered in treatment resistant cases
