Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Safe, effective relief from excessive sweating — using precisely placed injectable muscle relaxants.
Overview
Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what the body requires for temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms (palmar), feet (plantar), or face — and can significantly impact confidence, daily activities, and quality of life.
Injectable muscle relaxants offer one of the most effective treatments available for hyperhidrosis. The same purified protein used in anti-wrinkle injections can be precisely injected into the affected area, where it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands. This dramatically reduces — and in many cases, eliminates — excessive sweating in the treated area.
The treatment is particularly popular for underarm sweating, where it is highly effective. Results typically last 6–12 months, with many patients experiencing relief for even longer. The procedure itself is quick, taking around 20–30 minutes, with minimal downtime.
Dr Lindsay Moran has experience treating hyperhidrosis as part of her cosmetic injectable practice. A personalised assessment will determine the most appropriate treatment approach and the number of injection points required.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hyperhidrosis treatment painful?
The procedure involves multiple small injections, which may cause mild discomfort. Topical numbing cream can be applied to reduce any stinging. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well.
How long do results last?
Results typically last between 6 and 12 months. Individual factors such as metabolism, the dose used, and the area treated can influence the duration of results.
Which areas can be treated?
The most commonly treated area is the underarms (axillae). Palms, feet, and the scalp can also be treated, though these areas may require more injection points and may be slightly more uncomfortable.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild. Temporary bruising, redness, or tenderness at injection sites may occur. Rarely, temporary localised muscle weakness may occur if treating the palms or feet.
