Hyperhidrosis treatments can include conservative measures, antiperspirant strategies, device or referral pathways, and prescription-only options that are discussed privately if suitable. What to expect depends on whether sweating is underarm, palm, sole, face, scalp or generalised. At Core Aesthetics, the public page explains the assessment and decision process, not a product menu. Treatment discussion follows suitability assessment, consent, risk discussion and timing review.
Is this for you?
Consider booking a consultation if
- Adults comparing treatment pathways for excessive sweating
- Readers who want specific but compliant treatment process information
This may not be for you if
- People seeking a product recommendation or fixed duration
Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
What are the main hyperhidrosis treatment pathways?
Broad pathways include conservative measures, antiperspirant strategies, device-based or referral pathways, and prescription-only options discussed privately if suitable. The right pathway depends on body area, severity and medical context.
Why does the page not name prescription medicines?
Australian advertising rules restrict public promotion of prescription medicines. If a prescription-only option is relevant, it belongs in private consultation after Corey reviews suitability, risks, consent and alternatives.
Are antiperspirants still relevant?
Yes. Many patients have tried them, but technique, strength, skin irritation and consistency matter. Antiperspirant history helps Corey understand whether conservative management has been reasonable.
Is iontophoresis relevant?
Iontophoresis is part of the wider evidence base, especially for palms and soles. Corey can discuss whether a device-based or referral pathway may be more appropriate than an in-clinic pathway.
What risks should be discussed?
Risks depend on area and pathway. Discussion may include discomfort, bruising, irritation, tenderness, temporary weakness near affected areas, uneven or lower-than-expected response, recurrence and aftercare requirements.
Will treatment stop sweating permanently?
No public page should promise that. Many pathways are temporary, require maintenance or need review. Individual response and timing vary.
Can treatment happen on the day?
Sometimes, but only if assessment, consent, risk discussion, timing and clinical judgement support proceeding. Same day treatment is not automatic.
What if treatment is not suitable?
Corey may recommend waiting, conservative measures, GP review, dermatologist referral or no treatment. A useful consultation should still leave you with a safer plan.
