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.
Excessive sweating can be a symptom of hormonal disease, as well as menopause.
Excessive sweating is a side effect of many medications.
Certain malignancies, including those of the blood and lymphatic system, can cause hyperhidrosis.
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.
- Clinic-based treatments: Treatments done in clinic typically work by switching off sweat glands. They are a very effective treatment, particularly for underarms, palms, soles, and face.
- 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 required to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your specific needs and the areas affected by excessive sweating.

How do treatments for excessive sweating work?

The cost of treatments for excessive sweating in Australia depends on several factors, including the type of treatment, 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 to get a personalised assessment and a precise quote based on your specific needs and the recommended treatment plan.
Most people report only mild and temporary discomfort during treatments for excessive sweating.
To minimise any potential pain, practitioners may apply a topical numbing cream or use ice packs to the treatment area.
The timeline for seeing results from treatment for excessive sweating depends on the specific method used.
Most treatments give a reduction in sweating within days to weeks.
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, 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 treatment methods, side effects are typically mild and temporary, occurring at the treatment sites. These can include:
