Understanding Hyperhidrosis Treatment.
Book Your Hyperhidrosis Consultation →
Feeling dry and comfortable through the day makes a real difference, whether it's a confident handshake, a shirt that stays fresh through a meeting, or a page that doesn't smudge under your hand.
Small injections of botulinum toxin type A quiet the signal that switches sweat glands on in one area of the body, and sweating there often drops substantially. The usual areas are the underarms, hands, feet, face and scalp.
Relief that lasts for months. The effect typically lasts several months, and when sweating starts to return, treatment is simply repeated. Excessive scrotal sweating is treated confidentially through our scrotal botulinum toxin service.
Concerns & Goals
Concern guides connected to this treatment.
Treatment options and technologies
At our clinic, excessive sweating is treated with injections that work well alongside clinical-strength antiperspirants and other medical measures.
- Botulinum toxin type A injections: for persistent sweating in a defined area, most established at the underarms and dosed carefully for the palms, soles, face or scalp. Injections are performed by our experienced physicians.
Many people keep using an antiperspirant alongside treatment, particularly towards the end of an interval.
What hyperhidrosis treatment can improve
Treatment can make daily life easier when sweating is getting in the way, including:
- Visible sweat marks that dictate what colours and fabrics you can wear
- Sweating that antiperspirants haven't controlled, including clinical-strength products
- Damp hands that interfere with work, writing, instruments, tools or greeting people
- Sweating without heat or exertion, often triggered by stress or nothing obvious at all
- Skin irritation, chafing or odour in areas that stay damp
- Avoiding situations such as presentations, dating, interviews or the gym
Who may benefit
This treatment suits people with persistent excessive sweating in a defined area, especially where antiperspirants have already been tried.
A quick medical check first. Most excessive sweating is primary, with no underlying medical cause, and often starts in adolescence. Sweating that's new, affects the whole body, wakes you at night, or comes with weight loss or fever deserves a medical look, and we'll make sure that happens first.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.
Your consultation
At Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic, injectable treatments are performed by our experienced physicians. Your consultation includes an assessment of your concerns and medical history, and the treating physician reviews your suitability, confirms your treatment plan and performs your injections. Our cosmetic consultants may assist with your initial assessment and planning.
We'll ask where you sweat, how long it's been happening, what triggers it and what it stops you doing, and review your general health, medications, allergies, any neuromuscular condition and any previous botulinum toxin treatment. You'll leave knowing which areas are worth treating and how long the effect tends to last.
Cosmetic consultations are complimentary. When you book a treatment, we take a card on file. New clients pay a $150 deposit that goes toward their treatment, and a $150 no-show fee applies if an appointment is missed. Consultations for scrotal sweating are confidential sexual-health appointments with a physician, with a consultation fee confirmed when you book.

Results and planning
What treatment can improve: sweating in the specific area treated, often substantially, for a period of months.
When you notice change. Many people feel a difference within a few days, with the effect building over the following week or two.
How long it lasts. Typically several months, then sweating returns gradually and treatment is repeated. People who've had treatment before often know their own interval.
What influences your result: the area treated, how severe your sweating is, the dose suited to that area, and how your body responds. Duration can differ between areas in the same person. Individual results vary.
After your treatment
Most people go straight back to their day. Your physician gives you simple aftercare for the area treated, and the technology page covers side effects and safety.
Antiperspirants and skin care between treatments
A few practical habits help between visits.
Antiperspirants still have a role. Many people keep using them, especially as treatment starts to wear off towards the end of an interval.
Skin that has been damp for a long time can be irritated or prone to chafing. Once sweating settles, it usually improves, so keep it clean and dry and let it recover.

FAQ
Questions about Hyperhidrosis Treatment.
Treating one area doesn't push sweat elsewhere, though some people notice sweating in untreated areas more once the treated area is dry. The underarms are a small part of your skin surface, so your body keeps regulating its temperature normally everywhere else.
It can, mildly and temporarily, because the small muscles that control fine hand movement sit close by. That's why hands are dosed carefully. If you're a musician, surgeon, hairstylist, climber or anyone whose work depends on precise hand strength, mention it at your consultation so your physician can plan around it.
Underarm treatment feels like a series of quick pinpricks and is usually easy to tolerate. Palms and soles are more sensitive because that skin has many nerve endings, so comfort measures are used for those areas. Any discomfort is brief and limited to the appointment.
Yes, primary focal hyperhidrosis is a recognized medical diagnosis, and it's common enough that many people simply never mention it to a doctor. Whether your extended health plan contributes is something only your insurer can confirm, so it's worth asking them before your appointment.
No. As nerve signalling gradually recovers over the months, sweating returns towards its usual level. It can feel more noticeable by contrast after months of dryness, and repeating treatment brings the relief back.
