Sweat Reduction Injections
Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, affects around 3% of Australians, causing significant discomfort and embarrassment in everyday life. Many people experience anxiety in social situations or feel restricted in their clothing choices due to this condition.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis: primary hyperhidrosis, which is genetically linked and affects specific areas like the armpits, hands, feet, and face, and secondary hyperhidrosis, which is caused by pre-existing medical conditions or side effects of medication.
At Narellan Medical & Skin, we offer safe and effective anti-sweat injections, including Botox injections, administered by our experienced team, including Dr Anna Pham.
Our clinic focuses on restoring your comfort and confidence through targeted treatments designed to significantly reduce excessive underarm sweating and other problem areas.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR SKIN CHECK APPOINTMENT
DISCUSSION
We’ll begin your appointment with a detailed discussion about your medical history, experiences with excessive sweating, and specific areas you want to target.
EXAMINATION
Our medical professional will carefully examine the areas you’re concerned about to assess the severity of your sweating. If needed, we may perform a simple starch-iodine test.
TREATMENT
Based on the examination, we administer precise injections of neurotoxin directly into the targeted sweat-producing areas. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort. The injections are performed using a fine needle just below the surface of the skin. The procedure is quick, typically lasting around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
FOLLOW-UP & AFTERCARE
We’ll provide clear instructions for aftercare to optimise results and ensure comfort. A follow-up appointment is scheduled within two weeks to assess your treatment results and perform minor touch-up injections if necessary.
Our clinic provides convenient appointment scheduling, including both walk-in and pre-booked appointments. No referral is required, allowing easy access to professional sweat reduction treatment right here in Narellan.
Dr Anna Pham’s extensive experience in cosmetic treatments ensures precise injection techniques, optimal dosing, and maximum safety. Alongside her, Heather Holland, our dedicated cosmetic therapist, ensures your comfort and care throughout the treatment process.
We believe in a personalised and holistic approach, empowering you with effective and lasting solutions to manage excessive sweating.

Typical Treatment Areas
Our sweat reduction injection treatments effectively manage excessive sweating in several key areas of the body. Each treated area is approached with careful planning and precision, ensuring maximum effectiveness and minimal discomfort. These include:
Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis): This is the most common area treated at our clinic. Many patients find this area particularly distressing because underarm sweat can visibly stain clothing and create social discomfort. Underarm sweating is effectively managed with these treatments.
Palms (Palmar Hyperhidrosis): Sweaty palms can significantly interfere with daily activities such as handshakes, using electronic devices, or holding objects securely.
Soles of Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis): Excessive sweating in the feet can cause persistent discomfort, difficulty wearing certain footwear, and unpleasant odours.
Face and Scalp (Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis): Excessive facial sweating, especially on the forehead, scalp, and hairline, can be embarrassing and frustrating.
Other Localised Areas: Occasionally, excessive sweating may occur in areas like the groin or under the breasts. Our skilled medical team can assess your situation and advise on suitable off-label treatments tailored specifically for your unique needs.
EFFECTIVENESS & RESULTS OF SWEAT REDUCTION INJECTIONS
Sweat reduction injections offer highly effective and consistent results for treating excessive sweating. Clinical studies and our own patient experiences at Narellan Medical & Skin demonstrate that injections reduce sweat production dramatically, often by more than 80%.
Most patients notice a significant improvement within the first week after treatment, with full results visible after about two weeks. Patients report significant improvement within the first week. These injections provide relief from excessive sweating and are effective in reducing excessive sweating.
Duration of Results
The results from sweat reduction injections typically last several months, with most patients experiencing between four and twelve months of relief per treatment. One treatment can provide relief for several months.
As the effect of the injections wears off, sweating slowly returns to baseline levels. However, while effective, these treatments are not a permanent solution and require ongoing maintenance. Regular repeat treatments can provide longer-lasting relief over time.
Many patients schedule ongoing injections to maintain comfort and confidently manage their sweating condition year-round.
Safety and Side Effects
Sweat reduction injections are safe and minimally invasive, with an excellent safety record backed by decades of clinical use. At Narellan Medical & Skin, our experienced team ensures careful and precise injections to minimise potential side effects.
Common side effects, when they occur, are mild and temporary, typically resolving within one to two days. These may include slight pain or stinging during injections, minor redness, bruising, or swelling around injection sites. Serious side effects are extremely rare but should be considered.
However, our medical team prioritises patient comfort and safety, providing clear aftercare instructions and follow-up consultations to ensure the best possible outcome from your treatment.
