Do you sweat excessively? You may have a condition known as axillary hyperhidrosis.
If you have the above signs you may suffer from primary hyperhidrosis. This condition affects about 2% of the population and can affect the face, hands, soles of the feet and other areas of the body.
NEW Treatment Options For Excessive Underarm Sweating.
A safe medical treatment with injections commonly used for cosmetic purposes is available.
Email us if you want to know more about specific products.
Frustratingly, 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 excessive sweating of the underarm and have a well established safety profile.

I can’t believe after all these years and all my doctors telling me there was nothing to do and to try a stronger deodorant I’m not alone and I can fix this! I sweat, literally, about 5 times more than anyone I have ever met. It means I have to wear fabrics that won’t show my sweat marks and constantly have matted hair. Wearing makeup can be very messy and moisturiser just runs off my face. I get out of the shower and need to sit in front of the fan for 20 minutes to stop sweating enough to get dressed. My main problem areas are my underarms, back, stomach and face but even my arms and legs sweat. Could you please tell me that there is someone in Melbourne who specialises in Hyperhidrosis? I’d travel around the world for a permanent fix to this but if it involves regular injections I will obviously need someone in my home town. I’m really looking forward to a responce. I’ll be able to go dancing, finally!

Hi Natasha, yes it is usually an absolute relief to find out that you have a condition that can in part be treated, though there is not one panacea treatement, there is alot that can be done. There is a very good specialist in Melbourne, who is recognised internationally who practices in Melbourne. Dr Greg Goodman. He specialises in hyperhidrosis treatment. You will need a referral to see him, but if you get onto his website, by clicking on his name, I have made a link, you will be able to suss it out more yourself.
Good Luck…Jo (Dr Jo Turner)

How do I find out what the injections for excessive underarm sweating are? I have had put up with severe underarm sweating since I was 17, and even went to my Doctor who like Natasha above told me to use stronger underarm antiperspirants it has not helped, my underarms are dripping minutes after a shower. Can you please help me.
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 29 May 2008 at 5:37 pm #
Hi Carmel, I will email you to provide information with the name of the injections we use to treat excessive underarm sweating. It is best to come in for a consultation and then we can assess you to make sure there is not an underlying cause for the excessive sweating. However from what you describe, starting at 17 we may well be able to help you cure the excessive sweat problem with simple injections.

Hi just like carmel above i am wondering what the injection is called for excessive underarm sweating. Im 24 and have had it for at least 5 years now and am over sweat running down my arms seconds after i have a shower 2 go out. If you could also email me the name that would be great, thanks for your help. xx
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 27 Oct 2008 at 6:15 am #
Hi Hayley, I have emailed you information on treatment of excessive underarm sweating including a link to the International Hyperhidrosis Society website www.sweathelp.org so you can read more information. If you are interested in getting the injections to stop underarm sweating give us a call on 33505447. Jo
Wayne responded on 13 Nov 2008 at 7:22 pm #
Would it be possible to have some information about the injections mailed to me as well please?
I’m tired of having to wear white and black t-shirts every day to minimize the visibility of sweat stains
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 14 Nov 2008 at 5:47 am #
Hi Wayne, yes I will email you with the treatment details for excessive underarm sweating. It is generally quite a relief when people find there is a treatment to stop the sweating which means they no longer have such a restrictive wardrobe.

Hi I would like to know who is the best to treat hyperhydrosis in Perth too. I have tried the botox and it was BRILLIANT for around 8 months. But now I’m considering the symptomicotomy (sp!) because those 8 months were the best of my life. Botox every 8 months is expensive….thanks
Sweaty Betty responded on 27 Jan 2009 at 9:30 pm #
Hi, is the treatment exclusive to the underarm region? I sweat excessively all over my body (face, neck and back especially)… and much like Natasha I’m unable to go out dancing with my girls on the weekends! Thanks.

hi, i’ve suffered from excessive underarm sweating ever since i was 14. i am now 18 and looking for a treatment, even if it’s only for a couple of months. i am so sick and tired of wearing extra baggy shirts and not being able to go out with my mates because i have nothing to wear. i’m young and want to have a great time, but how can i do that with sweat stains embarrasing me 24/7. can u please send me the name of a place in Perth that specialises in hyperhidrosis treatment and also inform me of the costs involved as i’m willing to try anything right now.
Thanks Heaps

Hi I also suffer from excessive underarm sweating. I have tried surgery which didn’t work and the medication I am taking for it is no longer effective and my Dr is at a bit of a loss at what else to do. I would love some information on someone in Adelaide that can help me. Thank you
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 05 May 2009 at 5:28 am #
Hi Miki, I do not have any specific recommendations for treatment of underarm sweating in Adelaide, however the treatment we use is also used for treatment of wrinkles, so the best thing would be to get onto the wrinkles.com website and search for local cosmetic medicine clinics, most do offer treatment for excessive sweating and just ask them if they provide the procedure.

Robyn Levy responded on 20 Oct 2009 at 7:45 pm #
HI.I have suffered all my life with this condition.I have a sympathectomy when I was 21 but it was not successful.
I tryed BOTOX once and it worked but its very costly.It only lasts about 8 months.
I am looking for a more permanent and long term fix for my problem.
MY son also has the same problem.SO if you could point in the right direction HERE in Sydney I would realy appreciate it.
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 27 Oct 2009 at 1:42 pm #
Hi Robyn, unfortunately there is no perfect solution for excessive underarm sweating. Injectable treatments give 6-12 months (sometimes longer) and though this costs around $1100 many people find the relief far in away exceeds this. The injections are more reliable than liposuction, however. Jo
Sally responded on 07 Dec 2009 at 1:35 pm #
Hi,
Can you please send me details of someone in Perth to treat hyperhidrosis. I have the same problems as Natasha and would be so grateful to find someone to help with this. Are the people in Perth going to be able to give the same treatment as Dr Goodman in Melbourne or would it be more beneficial to travel and see him. I am desperate to have this treated. Thanks
