Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that effects 1-2 % of the population. Although harmless the excessive sweating causes considerable distress for many individuals. Now simple injections can be used to get rid of the embarrassment of excessive sweating of the armpit, hands and feet. At our Brisbane based clinic we regularly help people with this simple and effective treatment.

TGA regulations in Australia restrict naming of these injections as they are class S4 medication to be administered by a Doctor with training. They are approved for treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis and have a well established safety profile.

How effective are the Injections to get rid of Hyperhidrosis?

Injections for hyperhidrosis are a relatively new but very effective treatment to get rid of embarrassing unprovoked sweating of the armpits, hands and feet. The injections are seen as a minimally invasive and successful step before considering surgery.
