EXCESSIVE SWEATING & HYPERHIDROSIS

UNDERSTANDING EXCESSIVE SWEATING AND HOW IT CAN AFFECT EVERYDAY LUFE

Sweating is a normal process that helps regulate body temperature. Some people, however, experience sweating that is greater than expected for their circumstances.

​

Excessive sweating is also known as hyperhidrosis and can affect different areas of the body.

​

YOUR UNDERSTANDING EXCESSIVE SWEATING

Sweating can be influenced by a range of factors, and excessive sweating may have different underlying causes.

​

Depending on your circumstances, assessment may consider:

• The area affected

• How frequently sweating occurs

• When symptoms began

• Medical history

• Current medications

• Previous management

• The impact on everyday activities

 

Because excessive sweating can sometimes be associated with an underlying health condition or medication, further medical assessment may be appropriate before cosmetic management is considered.

​

YOUR CONSULTATION

Your medical history, symptoms and individual circumstances are assessed before suitable management options are discussed.

Where an option is considered appropriate, its potential risks, limitations, alternatives and expected duration or follow-up requirements will be discussed before you decide whether to proceed.

​

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Cosmetic procedures are not suitable for everyone and carry risks and potential complications. Individual suitability, alternatives, limitations, expected recovery and relevant risks are discussed during consultation. Results and experiences vary between individuals. A consultation does not mean you are required to proceed with a procedure.
