How does it work? The treatment is administered in-clinic and aims to significantly reduce excessive sweating in the treated area. Rather than masking symptoms like antiperspirants, it takes a different approach to managing the overactive sweat response. Your practitioner will explain the treatment in detail during your consultation.
Understanding Hyperhidrosis
Sweating is your body’s natural cooling mechanism. But for people with hyperhidrosis, the sweat glands are overactive — producing far more sweat than is needed to regulate body temperature. This can happen at rest, in cool environments, and without any physical exertion. It’s not a hygiene issue. It’s a medical condition — and it’s more common than you might think.
Primary focal hyperhidrosis: The most common form. Excessive sweating occurs in specific areas (underarms, palms, feet, forehead) without an underlying medical cause. It often begins during adolescence or early adulthood and may run in families.
Secondary hyperhidrosis: Caused by an underlying medical condition or medication. Sweating tends to be more generalised (whole body). If secondary hyperhidrosis is suspected, your practitioner may recommend GP investigation before treatment.
Your consultation will help determine whether your sweating is consistent with primary hyperhidrosis and whether treatment is appropriate.
How Excessive Sweating Impacts Daily Life
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone — and you may be a good candidate for treatment:
- You avoid wearing light-coloured or fitted clothing because of visible sweat marks
- You carry spare clothing or change shirts during the day
- You avoid handshakes or physical contact due to sweaty palms
- You reapply clinical-strength antiperspirant multiple times per day without adequate relief
- You avoid raising your arms or feel self-conscious in meetings or social settings
- Sweating affects your ability to work comfortably, especially in Perth’s warm climate
- You’ve tried prescription antiperspirants, iontophoresis, or other remedies without lasting success
Excessive sweating is a medical condition, not something you just have to put up with. If it’s affecting your quality of life, seeking treatment is a reasonable and practical step.
How Hyperhidrosis Treatment Works

- The procedure takes approximately 30–45 minutes
- Most clients describe it as mildly uncomfortable — numbing options are available
After treatment:
- Results typically begin within 2–7 days
- Full effect is usually reached within 2 weeks
- Duration varies but typically lasts 4–9 months for underarm treatment

What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where sweat glands are overactive, producing significantly more sweat than the body needs for temperature regulation. It can occur in specific areas (underarms, palms, feet, forehead) or more generally. Approximately 3% of Australians are affected.
Book a Hyperhidrosis Consultation
Start with a consultation — let’s assess your situation.
Because hyperhidrosis treatment involves a clinic-administered medication, a consultation is required before treatment. This ensures the treatment is appropriate for your specific type of excessive sweating.
Your consultation includes:
- Assessment of your sweating pattern, severity, and areas affected
- Discussion of your history — when it started, triggers, what you’ve tried
- Determination of primary vs secondary hyperhidrosis
- Explanation of treatment options, expected results, and duration
- Discussion of Medicare eligibility (where applicable)
Hyperhidrosis Treatment Consultation
How does hyperhidrosis treatment work?
Hyperhidrosis treatment is a clinic-based procedure that aims to significantly reduce excessive sweating in the treated area. It takes a different approach to antiperspirants and provides longer-lasting relief. Your practitioner will explain how the treatment works during your consultation.
Is hyperhidrosis treatment painful?
Most clients describe the procedure as mildly uncomfortable. The injections are shallow and use fine needles. Numbing cream or ice can be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort. The procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Is excessive sweating treatment covered by Medicare?
In some cases, treatment for diagnosed primary hyperhidrosis may be eligible for Medicare rebates. This typically requires a diagnosis from your GP and meeting specific criteria. Equinox can provide guidance, but Medicare eligibility is determined through your GP.
How soon after treatment will sweating reduce?
Most clients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 2 to 7 days, with full effect typically reached within 2 weeks.
How much does a hyperhidrosis consultation cost in Perth?
Consultations at Equinox Clinic in Belmont, Perth cost $50, which is fully redeemable on treatment. Treatment pricing is discussed during consultation.
Is there a treatment for sweaty hands and feet?
Yes. Palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty hands) and plantar hyperhidrosis (sweaty feet) can be treated with clinic-based approaches. These areas require specific techniques and are assessed during your consultation.
How long does hyperhidrosis treatment last?
Underarm hyperhidrosis treatment typically lasts 4 to 9 months. Duration varies between individuals. When the effect wears off, sweating gradually returns and treatment can be repeated.
What areas can be treated for hyperhidrosis?
Underarm treatment is most common and well-established. Treatment may also be considered for palms, soles of feet, and forehead, though these areas require different approaches. Your practitioner will advise on treatable areas during consultation.
What causes excessive sweating?
Primary hyperhidrosis involves overactive sweat gland stimulation. The exact cause is not fully understood but may have a genetic component. Secondary hyperhidrosis can be caused by medical conditions, medications, or hormonal changes.
Can hyperhidrosis be cured permanently?
Clinic-based treatment provides temporary relief lasting several months. It is a management approach rather than a permanent cure. Some clients find that sweating reduces over time with regular treatment. Surgical options exist but are typically considered only after other treatments.
How do I stop excessive underarm sweating?
If clinical-strength antiperspirants aren’t working, professional treatments can significantly reduce underarm sweating for 4–9 months per session. A $50 consultation at Equinox will assess whether you’re a suitable candidate and explain your options.
Can you treat armpit sweat without surgery?
Yes. Non-surgical treatments for underarm sweating are available and typically take around 30–45 minutes per session. Results develop over the first 1–2 weeks and may last 4–9 months. Your practitioner will explain the full process during consultation.

Individual results vary. This treatment is not suitable for everyone. A consultation is recommended.
Should I see my GP before hyperhidrosis treatment?
If you haven’t been assessed by a GP, we recommend doing so — particularly to rule out secondary causes of excessive sweating and to explore potential Medicare eligibility.
Can I exercise after hyperhidrosis treatment?
We recommend avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours after treatment. Light activity is generally fine from the same day.
What’s the difference between hyperhidrosis and normal sweating?
Hyperhidrosis means your body produces significantly more sweat than needed to regulate temperature. If you’re soaking through clothes, avoiding handshakes, or changing shirts multiple times a day, that’s beyond normal sweating. Your consultation will help determine whether your sweating meets the clinical threshold for treatment.
Will I stop sweating completely?
The goal is to reduce excessive sweating to normal levels, not to eliminate sweating entirely. Some mild sweating may still occur, which is healthy and normal.
Is hyperhidrosis common in Perth?
Perth’s warm climate can exacerbate hyperhidrosis symptoms. While the condition isn’t caused by heat, hot weather increases overall sweat production, making hyperhidrosis more noticeable and impactful.
What if I’ve tried clinical antiperspirants without success?
Many clients who come to us have already tried prescription-strength antiperspirants without adequate relief. Hyperhidrosis treatment takes a fundamentally different approach and is often effective when topical treatments are not. Your practitioner will explain the difference during your consultation.
