Excessive Sweating Treatment in Sydney

Non-surgical support for underarm and body sweating, tailored to your needs

At The Manse, we offer non-surgical options to help manage excessive sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis) for patients who want to feel more confident and comfortable in their daily lives. Whether your sweating is influenced by genetics, hormones, or stress, this treatment is designed to help reduce overactivity in the sweat glands and support comfort for several months with minimal downtime.

What Is Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating—especially under the arms—can be socially and emotionally distressing, often limiting what you wear or causing discomfort throughout the day. Many people feel they can only wear black or white and may find their sweating unpredictable, even in cool environments.

Our approach helps manage sweating in targeted areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, back, or scalp.

Is This Treatment Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate if:

  • You experience persistent sweating not linked to heat or exercise

  • You find yourself changing clothes multiple times per day

  • You’ve tried topical options with limited success

  • You’re looking for a non-surgical, low-downtime solution

This option is suitable for both men and women and is commonly used for the underarms — one of the most frequently requested areas.

What Happens at the Consultation?

Before any procedure, a full assessment will be performed. We’ll discuss:

  • Whether sweating runs in the family

  • Your metabolism, muscle mass, and activity levels

  • Areas of concern (e.g. underarms, hands, back)

  • Any previous experiences and how well they worked

  • Any history of side effects or perceived sweating changes elsewhere

An iodine starch test may be performed in some cases to map sweating patterns and identify the most active zones.

How Does the Procedure Work?

  • The area is cleaned and marked

  • Ice is applied for comfort

  • A series of small injections are placed evenly across the area

  • The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes

Comfort options such as numbing cream, ice, or Happy Gas are available at our Sydney clinic.

What Should I Expect Afterwards?

You may notice:

  • No visible changes or minor redness and small bumps (similar to acne), which usually resolve quickly

  • Sweating typically begins to reduce within 2–8 days

  • Results are most visible around 4 weeks

A review can be scheduled around 4 weeks to assess your outcome and refine the plan if needed.

How Long Does It Last?

Longevity varies depending on individual factors. Most patients experience a gradual return of sweating after several months and choose to maintain results with repeat sessions as needed.

Is More Than One Session Required?

Usually one session provides satisfactory results, but some patients prefer additional sessions for fine-tuning. Your clinician will review your results at 4 weeks and discuss any adjustments.

Are There Side Effects?

Side effects are uncommon but may include:

  • Mild bruising or tenderness

  • Temporary headache

  • Slight asymmetry in reduction between sides

  • Rarely, infection or temporary weakness

  • Some patients report a perceived increase in sweating in other areas

Who Isn’t Suitable?

This procedure is not recommended for:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals

  • People with certain medical or neuromuscular conditions

  • Individuals who rely on sweating for heat regulation (e.g. high-performance athletes)

Aftercare Instructions

  • Avoid deodorant for 4 hours post-procedure

  • Avoid vigorous exercise on the same day

  • Do not massage the area

How Much Does It Cost?

Your treatment will be tailored to your goals and budget. Due to Australian regulations we cannot quote prior to your consultation
