This sweat clinic is under the guidance and supervision of specialist consultant dermatologists.

Underarm sweating or armpit hyperhidrosis treatments are now on Medicare, which provides an effective and discounted treatment for Australian patients. Dr Davin Lim, who is a National Hyperhidrosis trainer provides BOTOX treatments for excessive underarm sweat.

Botox for underarm sweating is a safe and effective treatment has a proven safety record.

Sweaty hands is also known as palmar hyperhidrosis. BOTOX is not a recommended treatment for sweaty hands. Gylcopyrrolate iontophoresis performed at Sweat Free, has the highest success rate of treating both feet sweating as well as sweaty palms. Iontophoresis is of limited value for the treatment of axillary sweating (armpit sweating) however is an excellent way of treating sweaty palms and feet. Iontophoresis treatments are conduced within the Westside Dermatology clinic in Brisbane.

Facial and scalp sweating is best treated with BOTOX injections. BOTOX last between 3-4 months, however is not covered under Medicare for these areas.

The use of tablets for excessive sweating can be useful, especially if sweating involves all areas, including the hands, feet, face, and underarms. These tablets are prescription tablets, and all states of Australia, including Queensland, Northern Territory and New South Wales do require a Doctors prescription. Sweat treatments such as Botox or Iontophoresis has a higher safety profile compared to tablets for sweating.

In severe and resistant cases, surgical treatment such as ETS or endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy can be successful. ETS surgery has a high success rate for palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty hands) however the risk of compensatory hyperhidrosis need to be considered.
