Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the sweat glands produce more sweat than necessary, often leading to discomfort, embarrassment, and interference with daily activities.
At Primavera Clinic, we offer advanced treatments to help manage hyperhidrosis effectively, improving quality of life for our patients.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis:
• Excessive sweating that interferes with daily activities.
• Noticeable sweating even at rest or in cool environments.
• Damp clothing, slippery hands, or wet footwear due to sweat.
• Social or emotional distress caused by the condition.
The condition is often classified into two types:
1. Primary Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating localised to specific areas, often with no identifiable cause.
2. Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Sweating caused by an underlying medical condition or medication, affecting larger areas of the body.
How Does Sweat ReductionTreatment for Hyperhidrosis Work?
We offer a range of effective treatments tailored to your individual needs, including:
1. Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)
Botulinum toxin is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for hyperhidrosis. It works by blocking the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands.
How It Works: Small injections of botulinum toxin are administered directly into the affected areas (e.g., underarms, palms, soles). This temporarily reduces sweat production.
Benefits:
• Quick procedure with minimal discomfort.
• Results last 4–6 months on average.
• TGA approved for treating hyperhidrosis.
Downtime: Minimal; most patients resume daily activities immediately.
2. Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is a non-invasive treatment that uses a mild electrical current to reduce sweat production.
How It Works: A device delivers a low electrical current to the affected area through water. This temporarily reduces sweat gland activity.
Applications: Effective for palms, soles, and underarms.
Frequency: Multiple sessions are required for optimal results, followed by maintenance treatments.
3. Prescription Antiperspirants
For mild cases of hyperhidrosis, prescription-strength antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride may be recommended. These block sweat ducts temporarily to reduce sweating.
4. Oral Medications
Certain medications, such as anticholinergics, can help control sweating by reducing gland activity. These are typically used for generalized hyperhidrosis or when other treatments are not effective.
5. Surgical Options
For severe cases of hyperhidrosis that do not respond to non-invasive treatments, surgical interventions may be considered. While not performed at Primavera Clinic, we can refer you to a specialist for procedures like sympathectomy.
