COSMETIC AESTHETICS: EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Hyperhidrosis refers to a condition where individuals experience excessive sweating beyond what is typically needed for the body’s temperature regulation. While sweating commonly occurs in response to heat or physical activity, some individuals with hyperhidrosis may also experience sweating without an obvious trigger.
Excessive sweating most commonly affects the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, face and scalp, although other areas of the body may also be involved. For some individuals, hyperhidrosis can impact daily comfort, clothing choices, occupational activities and overall quality of life.
At BLANC Skin in Perth, hyperhidrosis management is approached through a consultation-led, individualised treatment plan. During your consultation, our qualified cosmetic nurses will assess your concerns, review your medical history and determine whether appropriate management options may be suitable.
All cosmetic and clinical procedures carry risks and results vary between individuals. A consultation is required to determine suitability.
In some cases, medical treatment may be recommended to assist in managing localised excessive sweating. This approach works by temporarily reducing the signals that trigger sweat production in the treated area.
The treatment works by temporarily reducing the release of chemical signals that stimulate sweat production in the treated area. When these signals are reduced, sweat gland activity in the targeted region may decrease. Only the treated area is affected, and the body’s overall ability to regulate temperature is not impacted.
Suitability, treatment technique and dosage are determined following clinical assessment. At BLANC Skin, treatments are performed by qualified cosmetic nurses who will discuss potential benefits, risks, recovery expectations and aftercare requirements during your consultation.
Clinical procedures carry risks and results vary between individuals.
Hyperhidrosis treatment may be considered for individuals experiencing persistent excessive sweating in localised areas.
This treatment may assist in supporting the management of:
- Underarm sweating
- Palmar sweating (sweaty hands)
- Plantar sweating (sweaty feet)

Treatment plans are tailored according to the area treated, individual symptoms and clinical assessment findings.
Suitability varies between individuals and is determined following consultation with our qualified cosmetic nurses.
BEFORE TREATMENT

Procedure time is typically 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
