A doctor-led consultation to assess excessive sweating and discuss the management options that may suit you.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that can affect the underarms, palms, soles of the feet and face.
Adults experiencing excessive sweating can book a doctor-led consultation to discuss symptoms, medical history and suitable management options.
Individual assessment: recommendations are made following clinical assessment.
Hyperhidrosis can be managed in different ways depending on severity, the areas affected, previous treatment and medical history. Your doctor assesses possible causes and discusses appropriate options.
Benefits, limitations, side effects, recovery and duration of improvement depend on the treatment selected and individual response.
Options include topical products, iontophoresis and prescription medicines where clinically appropriate. Each has potential benefits, limitations and risks.
Where prescription treatment is appropriate, it can only be considered after an individual medical assessment and appropriate prescribing process.
Your doctor will explain when changes may be expected, how long they may last and whether further treatment may be considered.
Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare instructions, including any advice regarding exercise, heat exposure and care of the treated area.
Recommendations are tailored to your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment and clinical assessment.

A medical consultation may be appropriate for adults experiencing excessive sweating that affects daily activities or is not adequately managed with standard antiperspirants. Suitability for any treatment depends on the underlying cause, medical history, areas affected and individual clinical assessment.
Hyperhidrosis can affect several areas of the body that may be assessed during consultation, including:
The timing of any improvement depends on the treatment selected and individual response. Your doctor will explain the expected timeframe as part of your treatment plan.
For underarm sweating, the effects typically last between 6 and 12 months, although duration varies between individuals and depends on the treatment and clinical response.
Potential risks and side effects depend on the treatment selected and may include local irritation, pain, redness, swelling, bruising, headache, infection or other treatment-specific effects. Prescription medicines can carry additional risks and contraindications, which your doctor will discuss where relevant.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, you must avoid significant heat exposure, including saunas and steam rooms, and strenuous exercise. For axillary treatments, avoid shaving the treated area and keep the skin cool and clean for 24 to 48 hours to help prevent irritation or infection.
The treatment plan depends on the severity and location of excessive sweating, your medical history, previous treatments and the option considered clinically appropriate. Your doctor will explain the recommended approach during consultation.
The cost depends on the treatment option recommended following medical consultation and the areas being treated. Any applicable consultation and treatment fees will be explained before treatment is undertaken.
Depending on the treatment selected, sweat production in the targeted area may be reduced temporarily. The degree and duration of any reduction vary between individuals and will be discussed during consultation.
At consultation we assess your symptoms and history, and explain options, limitations and risks before any treatment.
