Consultations Available in Brisbane Excessive Sweating Brisbane

Hyperhidrosis can affect specific body areas such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face. It may occur without any obvious trigger (primary hyperhidrosis) or as a result of an underlying medical condition (secondary hyperhidrosis).

Excess sweating is not necessarily related to physical activity or temperature — it’s often due to an overactive sympathetic nervous system that overstimulates sweat glands.

During your consultation, Dr Allison will assess your medical history and possible contributing factors to determine whether treatment with injectables is suitable and safe for you.
In some cases, diagnostic testing or specialist referral may be recommended before treatment.

Some treatment options may involve prescription-only medicines or medical devices. In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, these are not advertised publicly and are only discussed in private medical consultation. 

How It Works  Addressing Excessive Sweating

There are different ways to treat hyperhidrosis and more information about a suitable way will be provided during a consultation.

1. Assessment — Dr Allison evaluates your areas of concern, health background, and medical suitability.

2. Discussion — A suitable treatment approach is identified based on your individual assessment.

3. Process — The agreed approach is carried out under medical supervision.

4. Aftercare — Any post-treatment care instructions will be provided and discussed during your consultation.

Treatment areas can include the underarms, palms, soles, or forehead, depending on your individual needs.

The approach recommended will be discussed in full during your consultation, including what to expect, how long any effects may last, and whether ongoing appointments may be needed. Individual responses vary.
