Hyperhidrosis Treatment Melbourne

Disclaimer

All treatments require a formal consultation with Dr Omarjee prior to any treatment. During this consultation, patients' concerns are carefully assessed, and a personalised treatment plan is developed. This includes discussing the nature of the proposed treatment(s), alternative treatments, potential risks and relevant complications, aftercare instructions, and the costs involved. It also allows time for patients to ask questions.

The DOC Clinic offers treatment options for patients with hyperhidrosis in Melbourne. Hyperhidrosis is when your body produces more sweat than it needs to keep you cool. It is a long-term condition that can cause discomfort and sometimes interfere with daily activities.

If you experience excessive sweating, you can book a consultation with Dr Ed Omarjee to talk about your options. He will also explain the possible risks and what to expect with aftercare.

How Much Does Excessive Sweating Treatment Cost?

Dr Omarjee is available to discuss pricing with you during your first consultation. Consultations are available at our clinics:

  • The DOC West in Hoppers Crossing (conveniently located for Werribee and Point Cook patients);
  • The DOC East located at 47A Karnak Rd, Ashburton VIC 3147

It’s important to remember that while it is not always possible to determine the causes of hyperhidrosis in men and women, appropriate treatment may help you manage this condition.

For more information about available options for hyperhidrosis treatment, Melbourne-based Dr Omarjee and his team are available to speak with you. Call our clinic on (03) 9021 6022 to arrange a consultation.

What Are The Causes Of Hyperhidrosis?

Sweating helps your body regulate temperature and, in most cases, is completely natural. You may sweat more in warm weather, during exercise, or in response to emotions such as nervousness or stress.

Hyperhidrosis is different because the sweating often happens unexpectedly, without the usual triggers. This is thought to be due to overactive sweat glands.

In most cases, there is no specific cause. It can sometimes run in families. When excessive sweating is linked to another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. Possible causes can include:

  • Anxiety
  • Certain types of cancer
  • Some medications and substances
  • Diabetes or other glucose control disorders
  • Heart disease
  • Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
  • Lung disease
  • Menopause
  • Stroke
  • Tuberculosis or other infections

How Can Dr Omarjee Test For Hyperhidrosis?

The first step of our hyperhidrosis treatment in Melbourne involves a scheduled consultation with Dr Omarjee. This consultation may involve:

  • Noting any visible signs of sweating
  • Performing blood tests (if any thyroid problems or other medical conditions arise)
  • Collecting details from the patient about their profuse sweating – including location, time pattern, triggers, and other symptoms such as weight loss, pounding heartbeat, cold or clammy hands, fever, and lack of appetite.

What Does Treatment Involve?

After a consultation, Dr Ed Omarjee will assess your condition and discuss possible options for hyperhidrosis treatment. These may include:

  • Antiperspirants – strong antiperspirants can be used to block sweat ducts and help manage sweating. Deodorants may help with odour, but do not prevent sweating.
  • Medication – in some cases, medication may be prescribed. This is usually considered when other options are not suitable, as side effects can occur.
  • Wrinkle treatments – in certain patients, wrinkle treatments may be used to manage underarm sweating. This approach is sometimes referred to as primary axillary hyperhidrosis treatment. It can provide temporary relief, though the duration of effect varies.

During your consultation, Dr Ed Omarjee will explain the options in more detail, along with the possible risks, aftercare, and suitability for your needs.
