Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Hyperhidrosis is sweating that is greater than needed for normal temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms, palms, soles, face or other areas.
Diagnostic Precision
The location and pattern of sweating matter because focal underarm sweating is different from generalised or newly developed sweating.
Before selecting treatment, we assess three key markers:
- Pattern & Location: Reviews whether sweating is focal or generalised.
- Severity & Daily Impact: Assesses how sweating affects clothing, comfort, work or daily activities.
- Medical Triggers: Reviews medicines, hormonal change and other possible secondary causes.
Layered Treatment Framework
Sweat-Gland Signalling
Temporarily reduce nerve signalling to sweat glands in selected underarm areas.
Axillary Botox where appropriate.
Medical / Systemic Layer
Identify when new or generalised sweating may need broader medical assessment.
Referral or further investigation where indicated.
Step 01
Sweating Pattern Assessment
The location, severity and duration of sweating are reviewed.
Step 02
Screen for Secondary Causes
New, generalised or unexplained sweating may need medical evaluation.
Step 03
Targeted Treatment
Treatment is selected according to the affected area and likely type of hyperhidrosis.

Botulinum toxin may be considered for selected underarm hyperhidrosis by temporarily reducing nerve signalling to sweat glands. Possible effects include injection-site pain, bruising, swelling and temporary weakness. Rare systemic botulinum toxin effects can occur.
