Understanding excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, occurs when the sweat glands produce more moisture than the body needs to regulate temperature. Unlike normal sweating that happens with heat, stress, or activity, hyperhidrosis is ongoing and often unpredictable. It can affect different parts of the body—such as the underarms, hands, feet, face, or scalp—and may interfere with daily life and confidence.
People living with hyperhidrosis may find it difficult to manage social interactions, professional tasks, or even basic daily routines because of constant dampness. The condition can affect anyone, and may be influenced by genetic factors, certain medical conditions, or medications. Identifying whether there is an underlying cause is important, as this guides a safe and effective treatment approach.
Why excessive sweating can be challenging
Hyperhidrosis is more than a physical concern—it can impact lifestyle, comfort, and self-esteem. Common challenges include:
- Daily activities: Difficulty with gripping objects, using electronics, or wearing certain clothing.
- Social confidence: Worry about visible sweat marks or damp handshakes.
- Professional impact: Challenges in jobs that require precision, presentations, or public interaction.
- Skin issues: Prolonged moisture may lead to irritation, rashes, or infections.
Acknowledging the physical and emotional effects of excessive sweating is the first step toward effective management.
Treatment options for excessive sweating
There are a range of strategies to help manage hyperhidrosis, from lifestyle measures to advanced medical therapies. The right choice depends on the severity of sweating and the area affected.
At-home and lifestyle approaches
- Medical-strength antiperspirants to reduce sweat production.
- Absorbent aids such as powders, wipes, or clothing shields.
- Good hygiene routines to minimise odour and skin irritation.
These may help mild cases but are usually not sufficient for more persistent sweating.
Medical treatments
- Prescription topicals: Formulations that reduce sweat gland activity.
- Oral medications: Regulate nerve signals that trigger sweating (with varying side effects).
- Iontophoresis: A device-based therapy using mild electrical currents to reduce sweating, often used for hands and feet.
- Neuromodulator therapy: Temporarily reduces overactive sweat gland activity by blocking nerve signals.
- Surgical options: Considered only for severe, resistant cases.
Treatment is always personalised to your needs, lifestyle, and medical history.
What to expect from treatment
The aim of treatment is to significantly reduce and manage sweating, rather than eliminate perspiration completely. Results depend on the treatment chosen and your individual response, with many people noticing improvements within days or weeks. Some therapies require repeat sessions to maintain results.
Excessive sweating treatment at Cosmetic Connection
At Cosmetic Connection, we understand how disruptive hyperhidrosis can be to everyday life. Our clinicians offer thorough consultations to assess your situation and discuss safe, evidence-based options tailored to your needs.
With a personalised plan, you can effectively manage excessive sweating and enjoy more comfort, freedom, and confidence in your daily activities.
Treatment Areas for Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can occur in many different parts of the body. While sweating is a normal way for the body to regulate temperature, overactive sweat glands in specific areas can cause persistent dampness and discomfort. At Cosmetic Connection, we offer targeted treatments designed to reduce sweat production and improve comfort in your daily life.
Common treatment areas include:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis): Persistent sweating in the armpits can leave visible marks on clothing and cause irritation. Learn more about our underarm sweating treatments.
- Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis): Sweaty palms can make it hard to grip objects or shake hands. Explore our treatments for sweaty hands.
- Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis): Excessive sweating of the feet can cause odour and fungal infections.
- Face and scalp: Facial sweating can be particularly distressing in social settings.
- Chest and back: Sweating through shirts or outerwear can be frustrating.
Why treatment is personalised
Not everyone experiences hyperhidrosis in the same way. For some, it’s limited to one area, while others may notice symptoms across multiple regions. During your consultation, our clinicians assess the pattern and severity of your sweating to recommend the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Idiopathic hyperhidrosis is when your profuse sweating has no identifiable cause.
Yes, injections are a highly effective way to manage excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
There are different types of injections for excessive sweating, each with benefits and limitations.
Regardless of the type of treatment, they all work by reducing the amount of sweat your glands produce.
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 $1000 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:
- Pain or stinging sensations during the treatment.
- Localised swelling, redness, or tenderness.
- Bruising.
- Bleeding.
Less common side effects might include temporary muscle weakness (mainly with treatments for hand sweating).
Compensatory sweating after treatments for excessive sweating is not a common side effect, and when it does occur, it is generally reported to be mild at worst according to some sources. It is only temporary.
