Hyperhidrosis Treatment Newcastle

Hyperhidrosis is caused by overactive sweat glands triggered by your nervous system. In primary hyperhidrosis, the cause is usually unknown and not linked to other health conditions. In secondary hyperhidrosis, it may result from medical issues like diabetes, infections, hormonal imbalance, or medication side effects.

You may have hyperhidrosis if you sweat excessively without physical exertion or heat, especially in areas like underarms, palms, feet, or face. If sweating interferes with daily tasks or causes discomfort or embarrassment, it’s important to consult a medical professional for assessment.

Primary hyperhidrosis is a chronic condition that causes excessive sweating without a medical cause. It usually affects specific areas like underarms, hands, or feet. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying condition or medication and typically results in more widespread sweating.

Primary hyperhidrosis often starts in childhood or adolescence and is localised to specific areas like underarms or palms. Secondary hyperhidrosis tends to begin later in life and may involve full-body sweating. A consultation and medical history review help determine the type.

Botox injections are a clinically proven treatment for hyperhidrosis. They work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to sweat glands in targeted areas. Other options include oral medications, iontophoresis, and surgery, but Botox remains the most effective non-invasive option with minimal downtime.

Anti-sweat injections using Botox are generally safe with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary bruising, mild discomfort, or slight weakness in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few days.

Hyperhidrosis treatment with Botox is TGA-approved, widely used, and considered very safe when administered by qualified professionals. At Skinduced Aesthetics, our experienced cosmetic doctor ensures precise application with minimal risk.

No, treating your underarms with Botox will not cause increased sweating in other body areas. The treatment only targets specific sweat glands, and your body continues to regulate temperature normally through unaffected areas.

Most patients require treatment every 6 to 12 months, depending on individual response and sweat levels. Over time, many people find they need less frequent sessions to maintain dryness.

Results from Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis typically last between 6 to 12 months. Some patients may see longer-lasting effects with repeated treatments.

No, the treatment is not permanent. Botox injections offer temporary relief by blocking sweat gland activity. Regular sessions are needed to maintain results, but many patients find improved quality of life with ongoing care.

Hyperhidrosis treatment usually does not require anaesthesia. However, a topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce any minor discomfort during the injections.

Normal sweating helps regulate your body temperature. It is triggered by heat, physical activity, stress, or emotions. Unlike hyperhidrosis, it does not interfere with daily life or occur excessively without clear cause.

Normal sweating happens as a response to heat, exercise, or stress. Hyperhidrosis causes excessive sweating even at rest or in cool temperatures and can disrupt daily activities. It usually affects specific areas like the underarms, palms, or feet.

At Skinduced Aesthetics in Cameron Park, hyperhidrosis treatment with Botox starts from $899 AUD. This includes consultation, treatment planning, and targeted injections for long-lasting sweat control.
