Are you embarrassed by excessive underarm sweating? Do you have noticeable wet patches on your shirts?
You may be suffering from hyperhidrosis, the medical term for excess sweating. This condition affects 2-3% of the population and is a socially embarrassing condition that hinders advancement in careers, social and personal relationships.
Treatment
If other treatments, such as medication or topical agents, haven’t been successful, this embarrassing condition can be successfully treated by our specialist dermatologists.
The release of acetylcholine activates the sweat glands and in turn, you sweat. The injectable treatment administered, blocks the release of acetylcholine which stops the sweating.*
The Australian Government Department of Human Services and Medicare has a rebate scheme in place for patients suffering from extreme hyperhidrosis. You will need to have been referred by your doctor and treatment can only be carried out by a Specialist Dermatologist such as Dr Ritu or Dr Matulich and only after your initial consult with them.
All referred patients will receive a Medicare rebate for the initial consultations and for the injection treatment to treat your excessive sweating.
Treatments are not done at the time of the consultation but our Drs will diagnose and discuss your condition with you and design a plan for treatment that is tailored to you and your needs.
Ring 02 80146500 or fill in the form on the right book an appointment with Specialist Medical and Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr Ritu, today.
