Hyperhidrosis assessment · Oakleigh
Excessive sweating consultations in Melbourne
Start with the sweating pattern, any other symptoms and what you have already tried. Compare GP assessment, clinic discussion and specialist advice below. Core Aesthetics offers assessment for longstanding underarm sweating. For hands, feet or other areas, contact the clinic to check its scope or speak with your GP before choosing an appointment.
Hyperhidrosis means sweating beyond what is needed for normal temperature control. It may affect particular areas or be more widespread. New or unexplained sweating, especially at night, needs GP assessment; a localised pattern does not establish the cause. Healthdirect: excessive sweating.
New, widespread or unexplained sweating, including night sweats, needs GP assessment before cosmetic planning. For urgent symptoms, read the medical advice below.

Which assessment route fits?
A consultation may be a useful next step if sweating is persistent, affects daily life and has not been adequately managed with what you have tried. Sweating can affect the underarms, hands, feet or several areas. Describe all areas affected when seeking advice. The body area and sweating pattern matter; they do not all call for the same approach.
| Your situation | A useful next step |
|---|---|
| Longstanding underarm sweating that disrupts clothing, work or everyday tasks | Core Aesthetics offers assessment. Read the underarm appointment details for the Complex consultation, preparation and booking information. |
| Sweating in your hands, feet or other areas | Contact the clinic to check its scope before choosing an appointment, or speak with your GP about assessment. |
| New sweating, a widespread change or unexplained night sweats | See your GP to investigate the cause before cosmetic planning. |
| You need specialist care or advice about Medicare eligibility | Ask your GP and proposed specialist about the referral pathway and costs. |
Healthdirect explains when sweating needs medical assessment. A clinic consultation does not replace investigation of an underlying cause.
What to discuss during assessment
Bring your medicines list, names of antiperspirants or other products you have used, and any relevant GP or specialist advice. Describe when the sweating began, whether it happens during sleep, the areas affected and what it prevents you doing comfortably.
For Core Aesthetics assessment of longstanding underarm sweating, the underarm appointment page explains what to bring and the Complex consultation. For hands, feet or other areas, check the clinic’s scope or speak with your GP before selecting an appointment.
Choosing a provider
Ask about relevant experience, who would be involved in any proposed care and who would manage your follow up. For Core Aesthetics, check practitioner and clinic details.
Your choices before deciding
If antiperspirant has not helped enough, a GP or dermatologist can review the cause and management options. A pharmacy discussion about an appropriate antiperspirant and its use may also be useful. Tell the assessing clinician about irritation or other problems rather than simply increasing use.
Core Aesthetics does not provide every management option for every body area. Ask which choices are relevant to you, whether specialist input would be more useful and what happens if the initial approach is not enough. Read the guide to managing excessive sweating for background before your appointment.
Limits, risks and recovery
Limits, risks and recovery depend on the management option. Skin irritation can occur with antiperspirants, and device based or procedural approaches have their own suitability checks and adverse effects. Some procedures can cause new sweating elsewhere. Before deciding, ask about discomfort, skin effects, any impact on work or activity, follow up and what to do if a problem develops. There is no reliable recovery timetable until a specific option has been assessed and explained.
Costs and specialist referrals
Check the assessment fee and any proposed treatment or repeat-care costs with the provider before deciding. For Core Aesthetics underarm assessment, check the Complex consultation fee in the current booking listing. We do not promise Medicare eligibility or a rebate. If you are seeking a Medicare supported specialist assessment or treatment, ask your GP and the proposed provider about referral requirements and eligibility before booking; Services Australia outlines referral requirements for specialist treatment. A referral does not automatically mean an appointment or procedure is fully covered.
See our consultation, payment and cost information. You are free to leave with advice and no treatment.
If clinic care is considered
Same day treatment may be discussed only if assessment, consent and the required clinical arrangements support it. Further investigation or a separate appointment may be needed. Booking does not guarantee treatment.
For clinic follow-up and review arrangements, read the underarm assessment page and current consultation and payment information.

When to seek medical help instead
Arrange GP assessment for new or unexplained sweating, night sweats, a widespread change or sweating accompanied by other symptoms. Mention recent changes to medicines and do not stop them yourself.
Healthdirect advises urgent help for heavy sweating with chest pain, lightheadedness or nausea. Breathlessness, fainting or severe illness may also be an emergency. Call 000. A cosmetic consultation is not an urgent medical service.
Before you book
Do I need to know which treatment I want?
No. Bring a description of the sweating and what you have tried. The purpose of the consultation is to assess the concern and explain the appropriate next step, including GP or specialist assessment when needed.
Can I book if I am unsure whether the clinic can help?
Call 0491 706 705 with a general question about the appointment. The clinic can explain its consultation scope; personal suitability and the cause of sweating still need assessment.
Choose the next assessment
For longstanding underarm sweating, read the clinic appointment details. For hands, feet or other areas, contact the clinic to check its scope or speak with your GP. Seek GP or urgent medical advice first for the symptoms described above.
