Is this the right appointment?
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. Tell us if it affects your underarms, hands, feet or several areas. The body area and sweating pattern matter; they do not all call for the same approach.
| Your situation | A useful next step |
|---|---|
| Persistent local sweating that disrupts clothing, work or everyday tasks | Discuss its history, previous care and whether a clinic assessment is within scope. |
| 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 the consultation covers
Allow around 30 minutes. 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.
The discussion brings that history together with your health and previous care. You can ask what can be assessed here, what remains uncertain and whether another clinician should investigate first. Any recommendation should explain the intended benefit, its limits, risks, ongoing care and full cost. You can leave with information or a referral recommendation rather than treatment.
Your practitioner
Your consultation is with Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. Check the practitioner and clinic details before booking. Ask about relevant experience, who would be involved in any proposed care and who would manage your follow up.
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
They 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.
Consultation cost and Medicare questions
The initial Core Aesthetics consultation is at no charge. Any proposed treatment costs are explained before you decide, including expected repeat care. 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.
After the appointment
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.
Reviews are usually offered two weeks after treatment and are free to attend. Fees apply if additional treatment is required. Ask what change to monitor and how long the particular option may take before judging its effect. Contact the clinic earlier if you have a concern rather than waiting for the review. If you have an event or travel planned, mention it before making a decision; a particular result or recovery date cannot be guaranteed.

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.
