Do you suffer from excess sweating and looking for a hyperhidrosis treatment Brisbane?
In Australia, approximately 3 out of every 100 people struggle with excessive sweating.
This sweating occurs without apparent cause and can be a problem for many individuals.
This condition, known as hyperhidrosis, can lead to embarrassment, discomfort, and social anxiety for those who suffer from it.
In this article, the experienced Define Laser team provide an overview of an amazing treatment option available at our clinic that can help manage, reduce or eliminate excessive sweat.
Excessive Sweat Causes
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition in which the body produces more sweat than necessary.
While it is normal for the body to produce some perspiration as a natural cooling mechanism, those who suffer from hyperhidrosis may experience excessive sweat even when the environment isn’t particularly hot or strenuous activity isn’t being performed.
There are several potential causes of excessive sweating that can vary from person to person. Some common causes include:
- It’s hereditary; If either parent experienced hyperhidrosis, there’s a greater chance that their child will too.
- Hormonal changes such as menopause can also bring on episodes of excessive perspiration due to fluctuating hormones.
- Diseases such as diabetes and thyroid issues are also known to lead to overactive sweat glands.
Two types of Excessive Sweating
There are two categories when it comes to excessive sweat – primary and secondary.
If you have primary there is no underlying cause and is usually associated with your genetic make-up and family history.
Secondary is the result of an underlying medical condition which can include symptoms such as anxiety, stress, and respiratory disorders.
Treatment of secondary hyperhidrosis will require treatment of the underlying cause first.
First step to treating excessive sweat conditions
The first treatment for sweating is generally topical antiperspirants, either by script or over the counter.
This does not target the other affected areas, which can include feet, face & scalp, groin and buttocks. There is also an oral medication which is only a short-term treatment.

Now for the life-changing treatment that not everyone knows about…
Anti-wrinkle injections!
This incredible solution can help cure your sweat for almost 12 months (results vary) – particularly in the underarms, face, and scalp.
It decreases underarm moisture between 82% – 87% and dryness typically lasts between six to 12 months.
The treatment is popular because it is less invasive than surgical treatment, has minimal pain, more so when injected in the armpits and is safe and effective.
How do sweat injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections to the feet and palms can cause pain and discomfort. To inject and may require some form of sedation/anaesthetic.
Antiwrinkle injections block the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which binds with your sweat glands to signal the release of sweat.
Your overactive nerves are essentially paralysed. When your nerves can’t signal your sweat glands, you don’t sweat.
Results of treatments for excessive sweating
You can resume your normal activities immediately after receiving the antiwrinkle injections.
It usually takes about 2-4 days to notice your results and up to 14 days for the treatment to take full effect. Injections last anywhere from 7 – 12 months.
Antiwrinkle injections are not a permanent solution to excessive sweating, so you will need further treatment.
