Underarm sweating treatment at Core Aesthetics uses prescription injectable product to temporarily reduce sweat gland activity in the underarm area, significantly reducing excessive sweating in suitable candidates. Treatment is individually assessed following a clinical consultation.
Excessive underarm sweating is one of the most common presentations of hyperhidrosis and one of the most practically disruptive. For many people, the concern extends well beyond physical discomfort. It affects clothing choices, professional confidence and social interactions in ways that are difficult to manage through conventional means alone.
At Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh, injectable treatment for underarm sweating is available following an individual clinical assessment. This is a prescription treatment and is only recommended where clinically appropriate after a proper consultation. You can also read our full overview of hyperhidrosis treatment for more context on the condition and the available approaches.
How the Treatment Works
Underarm sweating treatment uses the same prescription injectable product used for facial anti-wrinkle treatment, but applied to the sweat glands beneath the skin of the underarm rather than to facial muscles. The product temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the eccrine sweat glands in that area, significantly reducing sweat production.
The effect develops over days to a week following treatment. In suitable candidates, the reduction in sweating can be significant and the duration of effect for axillary treatment is typically longer than for facial treatment, which makes it a practical management approach for those who qualify.
What to Expect During Treatment
The underarm area is treated with multiple small injections placed in a grid pattern across the underarm skin. The procedure is generally well tolerated. Your practitioner will explain the process in detail during your consultation and provide specific preparation and aftercare instructions.
Who May Be Suitable?
- Clients experiencing excessive underarm sweating that affects daily life, clothing choices or confidence
- Clients who have tried prescription or clinical strength antiperspirants without satisfactory results
- Clients in good general health with no contraindications to injectable prescription products
Suitability is assessed individually during your consultation. Your medical history, the degree and pattern of your sweating and any relevant medications are all considered before treatment is recommended.
