Why do I sweat so easily?
There are many causes of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Certain medical conditions can cause you to sweat more than normal. Sometimes, we can’t find any cause.
Causes of hyperhidrosis include:
This is where there is no identifiable cause of your profuse sweating.
Certain malignancies, including those of the blood and lymphatic system, can cause hyperhidrosis.
Excessive sweating can be a symptom of hormonal disease, as well as menopause.
Excessive sweating is a side effect of many medications.
Certain neurological conditions can cause to excessive sweating.
If you have hyperhidrosis or sweat more than normal, the first step is to catch up with your local GP. This will allow you to be treated for any medical causes. If you have no identifiable cause of your hyperhidrosis, this is known as idiopathic hyperhidrsosis. We can treat this using anti-sweat injections.
What are the treatment options for excessive sweating?
There are several treatment options available for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), ranging from topical solutions to medical procedures:
- Aluminium-based antiperspirants: Often the first line of defence, stronger formulations are available with a prescription.
- Injections: Injections to switch off sweat glands are a very effective treatment, particularly for underarms, palms, soles, and face, working by temporarily blocking sweat gland stimulation.
- Prescription medications (oral anticholinergics): These can reduce sweating throughout the body but may have systemic side effects.
- Iontophoresis: A therapy using a mild electrical current in water, primarily for hands and feet, requiring regular sessions.
- Prescription topical medications: Certain creams or wipes can be applied to specific areas to reduce sweating.
- Surgical options: For severe cases unresponsive to other treatments, procedures like endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) or local sweat gland removal may be considered.
A consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your specific needs and the areas affected by excessive sweating.
What areas can excessive sweating be treated?
The most common areas we treat excessive sweating area:
We can treat hyperhidrosis affecting the hairline and scalp.
Facial hyperhidrosis is treatable with injections, with the added benefit of improving wrinkles.
Underarm hyperhidrosis is the most common area to treat.
Palmar hyperhidrosis is a debilitating issue that we can treat.
Excessive feet sweating is an uncommon concern, but that is also treatable.
How do injections for excessive sweating work?
Injections for excessive sweating typically work by targeting the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands in the treated area. Most injectable treatments reduce sweat gland activity blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals the sweat glands to become active. By interrupting this chemical message, the sweat glands in the injected region produce significantly less sweat. The effect is temporary, as the nerve endings will eventually regenerate, requiring repeat treatments to maintain the reduction in sweating.

Profuse sweating is a symptom of many medical conditions. Thyroid dysfunction, blood diseases, infections, medications, and hormone imbalance can all be responsible.
Catch up with your local GP if you’ve developed:

- Change in sweating pattern
- Sweating on one side only
- Excessive sweating associated with other symptoms like weight loss
Idiopathic hyperhidrosis is when your profuse sweating has no identifiable cause.
Yes, injections are a highly effective way to manage excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Injections work in one of two ways:
- Reducing sweat gland activity
- Ablating the sweat glands.
The cost of injections for excessive sweating in Australia can vary depending on several factors, including the area being treated, the extent of treatment, and the practitioner’s expertise.
For treatments in both underarms, a common treatment area, you might expect to pay anywhere from $800 to $1500 per treatment session. Treating other areas like hands, feet, or the face may involve different costs.
It’s best to have a consultation with a clinic that offers hyperhidrosis treatments to get a personalised assessment and a precise quote based on your specific needs and the recommended treatment plan.
For injections for excessive sweating, most people report only mild and temporary discomfort during the procedure. The injections are typically administered using very fine needles, and the sensation is often described as a brief sting or pinch. To further minimise any potential pain, practitioners may apply a topical numbing cream or use ice packs to the treatment area before the injections.
The timeline for seeing results from treatment for excessive sweating depends on the specific method used.
With injections, many people start to notice a reduction in sweating within 2 to 4 days, with the full effects typically becoming apparent within 2 weeks of the treatment.
For other treatments, such as oral medications, you might experience a reduction in sweating within a few hours of taking the medication, although it may take a few days or weeks to find the most effective dosage.
If you undergo a surgical procedure, like endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), the reduction in sweating in the targeted areas (e.g., armpits, hands) is often noticeable almost immediately after the procedure.
It’s important to have realistic expectations and to discuss the expected timeline for results with your healthcare provider based on the specific treatment they recommend for you.
Following non-surgical options for excessive sweating like injections, it’s generally advisable to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation or infection. Strenuous exercise and excessive heat exposure, such as saunas or hot tubs, should also be avoided for the first day or two to minimise swelling and allow the treatment to settle. Refraining from alcohol consumption for 24 hours can help reduce the risk of bruising.
When performed by a qualified medical professional, treatments for excessive sweating are categorised as low-risk.
The side effects of treatments for excessive sweating can vary depending on the specific method used.
For most injectable treatment methods, the most common side effects are typically mild and temporary, occurring at or near the injection site. These can include:
- Pain or stinging sensation during the injection.
- Localised swelling, redness, or tenderness.
- Bruising.
- Bleeding at the injection sites.
Less common side effects might include temporary muscle weakness (especially in the hands if treating sweaty palms), headache, or flu-like symptoms.
With non-surgical treatments compensatory sweating is not a common side effect, and when it does occur, it is generally reported to be mild or non-existent according to some sources.
