At Brisbane West Dermatology, we offer effective treatments for hyperhidrosis to help reduce excessive sweating and improve comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by abnormal excessive sweating, which can affect the entire body or be localised to specific areas such as the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. If excessive sweating impacts your self-confidence, causes embarrassment, or influences decisions related to your career or personal relationships, treatment may be helpful. Additionally, if it affects your choice of clothing or footwear, seeking treatment could significantly improve your quality of life.

Once medical causes for excessive sweating are ruled out, various treatment options are available to manage hyperhidrosis. Botulinum toxin injections are a highly effective and popular treatment option for managing excessive sweating. The injections work by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for signalling the sweat glands to produce sweat. By inhibiting this process, botulinum toxin reduces sweat production in the targeted areas. The effects can last for 4 to 12 months, offering significant relief from hyperhidrosis during that period. This makes it a great option for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution to control their sweating. For patients experiencing underarm sweating, Medicare rebates may be available, making the treatment more accessible and affordable. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically involves little downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with improved comfort and confidence.
