Local injections are the second line treatment for underarm hyperhidrosis.
Injections with a purified protein are a safe, quick and effective treatment to stop excessive sweating of the underarm. The injections, more commonly known as a wrinkle treatment, are the next option if underarm sweating fails to respond to antiperspirants.
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is characterised by sweating in excess of the amount necessary to maintain normal body temperature. There are two main categories: primary and secondary hyperhidrosis.
It is important that you have your excessive sweating assessed to diagnose which form of hyperhidrosis affects you. The treatment of secondary hyperhidrosis involves treatment of the underlying condition.
Treatments for primary hyperhidrosis.
Treatment of primary hyperhidrosis is split into non-surgical and surgical options.
We treat people with excessive sweating of the underarms.
Injections with a purified protein start to work within 2-5 days and can last 6-12 months. In the majority of people there will be a period of no sweating, with a lesser group achieving at least a 75-95% reduction in uncontrolled sweating. What a relief.

Frustratingly, with TGA regulations in Australia, it is illegal for us to name any class S4 medication on a website. They have TGA approval for treatment of underarm sweating and a well established safety profile.

I applaud you for not endorsing this destructive surgery. It abolished the body’s homeostasis, disables permanently the body’s thermoregulation, decreases resting heart rate and max heart rate capacity, the body’s ability to maintain blood pressure when standing in upright position, and in the long term has shown to adversely affect immune-responses, to exacerbate pain, and cause calcification of the arteries in the denervated hands. It should not be available or surgeons should have to provide ALL the known side-effects.
Unfortunately it has become a commercial enterprise, even cosmetic surgeons performing it.
