Understanding excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis)
Excessive underarm sweating, medically known as axillary hyperhidrosis, is a condition where the sweat glands in the armpits produce more sweat than is necessary for regulating body temperature. While occasional sweating is normal and helps cool the body, hyperhidrosis persists regardless of heat or activity, often causing discomfort, embarrassment, and stress.
People living with this condition may find themselves avoiding certain clothes, limiting physical activities, or steering clear of social situations due to visible sweat marks or damp clothing. Hyperhidrosis can affect individuals of all ages and genders, and it may be influenced by genetic factors, certain medical conditions, or medications.
Understanding the underlying cause of your excessive sweating is essential, as it helps guide the most effective treatment approach tailored to your needs.
Why underarm sweating can be challenging
Excessive underarm sweating goes beyond simple discomfort—it can affect your confidence and day-to-day life. Some common challenges include:
- Clothing restrictions: People often choose dark or loose-fitting clothes to hide sweat patches.
- Frequent clothing changes: Carrying spare shirts or using towels can become a daily routine.
- Social anxiety: Worry about visible sweat or body odor can impact interactions at work, school, or social events.
- Skin irritation: Constant moisture can lead to rashes, redness, or chafing under the arms.
Recognising the physical and emotional impact of hyperhidrosis is the first step toward managing it effectively.
Treatment options for excessive underarm sweating
There are several strategies available to help manage and reduce excessive sweating, ranging from simple lifestyle changes to clinically proven therapies.
Lifestyle and at-home strategies
For some individuals, simple adjustments can help minimise sweat production and improve comfort:
- Clothing choices: Breathable fabrics like cotton can reduce moisture buildup.
- Antiperspirants: Medical-grade antiperspirants can provide stronger protection than over-the-counter options.
- Hygiene routines: Regular washing and gentle exfoliation can reduce sweat-related odor and skin irritation.
While these measures may not fully eliminate excessive sweating, they are often the first step in a comprehensive management plan.
Medical management
If home remedies are insufficient, there are several evidence-based approaches that can help reduce underarm sweat:
- Prescription topical treatments: Certain medical formulations help reduce sweat production by targeting the sweat glands directly.
- Systemic therapies: Oral medications that regulate the nerve signals responsible for sweat production can provide relief, although potential side effects should be discussed with a clinician.
- Clinical treatments: Some medical treatments for excessive underarm sweating involve the use of neuromodulators, which temporarily reduce sweat gland activity. These treatments are administered by qualified medical professionals and are generally considered safe and effective for people with persistent or severe sweating that doesn’t respond to other measures. While this approach can be highly effective, it is not suitable for everyone, and a personalised consultation is essential to determine the most appropriate solution for your needs.
- Surgery: Severe cases of excessive sweating may require surgery, which involves transecting specific nerves that control sweat gland activity.
- Physical therapies: Methods such as iontophoresis use mild electrical currents to temporarily reduce sweat gland activity and are typically more suited for hands, feet, and sometimes underarms.
Each treatment approach is personalised based on the severity of sweating, medical history, and lifestyle needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Managing expectations and results
It’s important to understand that excessive sweating treatments aim to reduce and control sweat, rather than permanently eliminate all perspiration. Results vary depending on the method used, individual physiology, and adherence to recommended follow-up care.
Most people experience noticeable improvement within days to weeks, with ongoing maintenance treatments often needed to sustain results. Consulting with a specialist ensures that your treatment plan is tailored to your body and lifestyle, helping you regain confidence and comfort in daily life.

The cost of underarm sweating treatment can vary depending on your individual needs and the type and extent of treatment required. During a consultation, a qualified clinician will assess the severity of your sweating. Pricing is then tailored based on this assessment, with most treatments typically ranging from $1000 to $1,500 per session.
Underarm sweating treatment is generally well tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort. Numbing cream or ice is applied beforehand to minimise any sensation. Most people describe the feeling as a quick pinch, and any discomfort usually resolves quickly once the treatment is complete.
You can generally expect to notice a reduction in underarm sweating within 3–5 days after your treatment. The effect continues to improve over the following days, with full results usually visible around 2 weeks. Individual responses may vary depending on factors such as the extent of treatment and your body’s metabolism, but most patients experience a significant and long-lasting improvement in sweat control after this period.
Results from underarm sweating treatment typically last 6–12 months, though this can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the severity of sweating. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results.
To prepare for your underarm sweating treatment:
- Shave your underarms on the day of treatment.
- Avoid applying deodorant or antiperspirant before your appointment.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
- Let your practitioner know about any medications, allergies, or medical conditions.
- Arrive with clean, dry underarms to ensure accurate treatment and optimal results.
After underarm sweating treatment, avoid:
- Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 24–48 hours
- Hot baths, saunas, or excessive heat immediately after treatment
- Massaging or rubbing the treated area
- Alcohol for 24 hours
- Applying strong deodorants or skincare products to the treated area for a day
These precautions help ensure the best results and minimise irritation.
Underarm sweating treatments are generally low-risk when performed by a qualified medical professional. Mild side effects like redness, swelling, or tenderness can occur, but serious complications are rare.
