About Anti-Sweating Treatment

Anti sweating treatment (hyperhidrosis management) involves a series of discreet injections that act on sweat gland activity to reduce excessive perspiration most commonly used for underarm sweating. The procedure is clinical, well-established, and designed to give relief without surgical intervention.

Duration: Around 1 Hour
Discomfort: Minimal
Downtime: Up to 24 Hours
Typical Effect: Gradual reduction in sweating, lasting 6–9 Months

What to Expect

Process

Your session begins with a private consultation, where our clinicians understand your experience and goals. The treatment itself involves carefully placed injections to block communication between the nerves and sweat glands, reducing excess perspiration in the targeted area.

Risks & Side Effects

Common temporary reactions include redness, mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the treated area. These usually resolve within 24 hours.

Aftercare

Most people can resume normal activities immediately, but we recommend avoiding heavy activity or clothing that irritates the treated area for the first day. Hydration and gentle care support optimal comfort.

Results

Results typically begin to show within 7–14 days and can last between 6–9 months in most patients

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperhidrosis and why does it happen?

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating that goes beyond what is needed for temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms, hands, feet, or face and is often unrelated to exercise or heat. This condition is caused by overactive nerves that stimulate sweat glands. While the exact cause isn’t always clear, it can run in families or appear during stressful or hormonal changes. If you experience persistent sweating that interferes with daily life, there are safe non-surgical options available in Perth to help manage the concern.

How does an anti-sweating treatment work?

Anti-sweating treatments target the communication between the nerves and sweat glands. Tiny injections are placed in the affected area, usually the underarms, to temporarily block these signals. Without stimulation, the sweat glands reduce activity, leading to less perspiration. The procedure is performed by experienced nurses in a clinical setting and is designed to be quick, discreet, and minimally invasive. Many people find that this allows them to feel more comfortable in social and professional settings, without the need for constant changes of clothing or heavy antiperspirants.

How soon will I see results and how long do they last?

Most people begin to notice a change within one to two weeks of treatment. The maximum reduction in sweating is usually achieved around two weeks post-procedure. Results generally last between six and nine months, though this can vary from person to person depending on metabolism, activity levels, and individual factors. Once the effects begin to wear off, many patients choose to repeat the treatment to maintain their results. Over time, the benefits can help people feel more confident in daily life, from work settings to social activities.

What areas can be treated for excessive sweating?

The most common area treated for hyperhidrosis is the underarms, where excessive sweating often causes discomfort and visible marks on clothing. However, other areas may also be discussed during consultation, including the palms, soles of the feet, and sometimes the scalp or face. Suitability for each treatment area is assessed individually by our qualified clinicians, as certain zones may require different approaches. For most people, underarm sweating is the primary concern, and treatment here often provides significant relief from the daily challenges of excessive perspiration.

Is the procedure painful?

The treatment is generally well tolerated and described as only mildly uncomfortable. The sensation is often compared to a quick sting or pinch at the injection site. Our clinicians use fine needles and may offer numbing cream or ice packs beforehand to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Because the underarms are the most common treatment area, the number of injections is small and the session is relatively quick. Most people are pleasantly surprised at how manageable the process is and return to normal activities immediately afterwards.

What are the possible side effects or risks?

As with any medical procedure, there are some risks to be aware of. Common temporary side effects include minor redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising where the injections were placed. These usually resolve within a few days. Rarely, there may be temporary weakness in nearby muscles if the product spreads beyond the treatment site. Serious side effects are very uncommon when treatment is carried out by qualified nurses. During your consultation, our team will explain all possible outcomes so you can make an informed decision in a safe, supportive environment.

Why don't clinics advertise brand names like Botox for sweating anymore?

In Australia, treatments that involve prescription-only medicines (Schedule 4) are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Under the updated advertising guidelines, clinics cannot use brand names, show before-and-after photos, publish testimonials, or use promotional language that exaggerates results. This ensures advertising remains accurate, balanced, and protective of consumer choice. At Equinox, we focus instead on providing clear information about conditions like hyperhidrosis and invite clients to discuss specific options in a private consultation.

Who is a good candidate for anti-sweating treatments?

This treatment may be suitable if you struggle with excessive underarm sweating that does not respond to regular antiperspirants or lifestyle adjustments. People often seek it when perspiration impacts work attire, social confidence, or physical comfort. Suitability is always assessed in consultation, where your medical history, current health, and goals will be discussed. Not everyone is an ideal candidate, for example, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding will usually be advised to postpone treatment. Your consultation ensures you receive safe, individualised advice before proceeding.
