All treatments require a formal consultation with Dr Omarjee prior to any treatment. During this consultation patients concerns are critically assessed, and a formalized bespoke treatment plan is developed. This includes discussing the nature of treatment(s) proposed, alternative treatments, potential risk and relevant complications of the proposed treatment(s), aftercare instructions, and costs involved of the treatment(s). It also allows time for patient questions.
The DOC Clinic offers a number of excessive sweating treatment options to sufferers of hyperhidrosis in Melbourne.
This disorder is characterised by an increased production of sweat, disproportionate to the amount required to compensate for environmental conditions or thermoregulatory needs. It is estimated that hyperhidrosis in men and women occurs in equal numbers.
Hyperhidrosis is an uncomfortable chronic condition for patients that can cause physical distress and social awkwardness, negatively impacting on daily activities and impairing performance and productivity at work. This can result in higher rates of depression and reduced levels of confidence among sufferers.
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 clinic in Hoppers Crossing (conveniently located for Werribee and Point Cook patients).
It’s important to remember that while it is not always possible to determine the causes of hyperhidrosis in men and women, the right excessive sweating treatment can help you manage this condition comfortably.
For more information about available options for hyperhidrosis treatment, Melbourne based Dr Omarjee and his team of professionals are available to speak with you. Call our clinic today on (03) 9021 6022 to arrange a consultation.
How Can Dr Omarjee Test For Hyperhidrosis?
The first step of our hyperhydrosis 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 scheduled consultation, Dr Omarjee will be able to assess your condition and then determine the best options for hyperhidrosis treatment. There are a range of options available, including antiperspirants for hyperhidrosis, medication, and primary axillary hyperhidrosis treatment (armpit injections to stop sweating).
- Strong antiperspirants for hyperhidrosis can be used to block the sweat ducts in order to control the sweating. Deodorants may be used to treat the odour, but these do not prevent increased sweating.
- Hyperhidrosis medication can be prescribed as an excessive sweating treatment, but this option is the last resort since there are side effects that can cause more discomfort than the sweating itself.
- We also offer wrinkle treatments that can stop sweating in some patients. Also known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis treatment, this can be very successful in treating moderate-to-severe underarm sweating. Dr Omarjee injects the solution into the underarm to temporarily block the nerves that stimulate sweat glands reducing profuse sweating. While primary axillary hyperhidrosis treatment is not a long-term solution, it may be able to keep the sweating at bay for up to 12 months.
