What is excessive sweating?
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a recognised medical condition where the body produces more sweat than is necessary to regulate temperature. For many people, this can affect daily activities, from a simple handshake to choosing what clothes to wear. While sweating is a normal body function, excessive sweating can feel disruptive and difficult to manage.
What causes excessive sweating?
In most cases, excessive sweating is due to a condition called primary hyperhidrosis. This means it is not linked to another medical issue or medication. Instead, it occurs when the nerves that control the sweat glands become overactive, sending signals that trigger sweat production even when the body does not need cooling.
Hyperhidrosis often affects specific areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or sometimes the face and scalp.

Your Questions Answered
Normal sweating cools you down when you're hot or exercising. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is different. It’s a medical condition where the body sweats much more than is needed to control its temperature. It often happens in specific areas, even when you're at rest and not feeling warm.
Yes, it’s much more common than people think. Many people deal with it, but because it can be an embarrassing topic, it's often not talked about openly. You are definitely not alone in this experience.
Primary hyperhidrosis typically affects specific areas of the body. The most common spots are the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), the palms of the hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), and the soles of the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis). Some people may also experience it on their face or scalp.

Excessive Sweating Treatment in Adelaide
Sweating beyond what your body needs for temperature regulation can be uncomfortable and hard to plan around. If underarms, palms, soles or facial sweating are affecting your daily routine, a hyperhidrosis treatment consultation is the first step towards finding what might suit you.
A PERSONALISED APPROACH TO HYPERHIDROSIS
Hyperhidrosis develops when sweat glands become overactive, often producing far more perspiration than the body actually requires. It can run in families, be linked to certain underlying conditions or appear without any obvious trigger.
At Jennifer Carly Aesthetic Medicine, the approach to sweating concerns is consultation-led, meaning nothing is recommended until your history and concerns have been properly assessed.
BENEFITS OF HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT
Hyperhidrosis treatments can offer a number of possible advantages, depending on your assessment.
REDUCED SWEAT PRODUCTION
Treatment may help calm overactive glands, reducing the volume of perspiration in the treated area.
SUITABLE FOR SEVERAL AREAS
Underarms, palms, soles and the face can all be considered, depending on where sweating is most noticeable for you.
A NON-SURGICAL OPTION
This approach offers an alternative for those wanting to manage excess perspiration without surgery.

TREATMENT PROCESS
Here’s what’s generally involved.
BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
- A consultation is required before treatment for excessive sweating can begin.
- Your practitioner will assess the affected area, your sweating patterns and relevant medical history.
- Risks, recovery expectations and any special preparations will be discussed.
- Compatibility with other treatments you’re already having or considering will also be taken into account.
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
Your practitioner will begin by preparing the treatment area and mapping out the sites identified during your consultation. The number of points treated depends on the size of the area and the extent of sweating involved.
Once the mapping is complete, the treatment is administered at each site.
POST-TREATMENT RECOVERY
- 24 Hours: Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat and touching or rubbing the treated area.
- 2-3 Days: Any mild redness or swelling should begin to settle; visible results aren’t expected yet.
- 1 Week: Early changes in perspiration may start to become noticeable, though full effects can take a little longer to develop.
- Next Appointment: A maintenance visit can be scheduled based on how your body responds over time.
Individual results vary. If you have any questions or concerns during recovery, please reach out to the clinic team.
