How to Treat Excessive Sweating with Precision Cosmetic Care

Has sweating ever stopped you from doing the things you love? While sweating is a natural and important way for the body to regulate temperature, it can be uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing. The good news is that there is a reliable, effective solution for managing it—especially if you’re experiencing excessive sweating.

With the warmer weather of spring arriving in Australia, many people begin to notice increased perspiration. Excessive sweating can also be triggered by stress and may affect areas like the underarms, palms, and feet. If this sounds familiar, a private consultation at Dr Scott Allison’s specialist clinic can help identify the right path forward for you.

Before starting any treatment to reduce sweating, we recommend reading through some frequently asked questions to better understand how it works.

How Do Your Sweat Glands Function?

Sweating helps regulate your body temperature. Sweat is produced by glands located deep within the skin, and these are found across the entire body, particularly on the palms, soles, and underarms. The sweat itself is a combination of water and salts, and it even improves grip by adding moisture to the palms.

When sweating becomes excessive and persistent, it may be diagnosed as hyperhidrosis, a medical condition that occurs regardless of heat or activity. A common type of this condition, called idiopathic hyperhidrosis, can cause constant sweating for no clear reason.

It’s also common to sweat more during emotional stress. For example, excessive underarm perspiration may worsen when you’re nervous or anxious.

Can Non-Surgical Treatments Help with Hyperhidrosis?

Yes. During your first consultation, we will assess your skin type and the severity of your symptoms. From there, we’ll design a personalised treatment plan aimed at reducing sweat in the affected areas by up to 75 percent.

The treatment process is quick and typically completed in a single visit.

During your session, a refined cosmetic product is carefully applied just beneath the skin using a grid-like pattern to ensure even coverage. A topical numbing cream is used beforehand to minimise any discomfort, and the procedure is minimally invasive with little to no downtime.

To prepare, we recommend avoiding any medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin, prior to your appointment. This helps reduce the chance of bruising, which can occasionally occur following the procedure. We will go over all pre-treatment and post-treatment guidelines with you in detail during your consultation.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Most people experience noticeable improvements for approximately five months, and sometimes even longer. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled throughout the year to help keep sweating under control.

Aftercare Tips

After your treatment, it’s important to avoid intense physical activity for at least 24 hours. Exercise increases blood circulation, which could reduce the effectiveness of the procedure. It’s best to allow your body time to relax and adjust.

You should also avoid applying pressure or touching the treated areas for the first day. These simple steps will help maximise the results and ensure the treatment works as intended.
