Excessive Sweating

Axillary Hyperhidrosis (excessive armpit sweating) is an embarrassing condition that affects 1-2% of the population.It can now be treated with an extremely effective muscle relaxant.

What does Muscle Relaxant Injection treatment for Hyperhidrosis involve?

You should allow an hour for an appointment. Firstly, a powder is applied to the Axilla (armpit). Then, a topical Anaesthetic cream is applied for 25 minutes. A series of tiny superficial injections are then placed into the Axilla, which take about 10-15 minutes per side. One feels pressure, but no pain. After the treatment, one can go straight back to normal activities such as driving or working. There is no down time. The  Muscle Relaxant starts to work within 7-10 days.


Do I need skin test?

No. As muscle relaxant therapy is non-animal based, you do NOT need a skin test prior to its application.


How long does Muscle Relaxant Injection treatment for Hyperhidrosis last?

The effects of the treatment last up to 7 months on average but according to a recent study, about 28% of people had a long-lasting benefit up to 16 months. Therefore depending on the individual, one may require treatments 1-2 times per year.


What does treatment of Hyperhidrosis with Muscle Relaxant Injection Therapy cost?

The cost of Muscle Relaxant Injection Therapy treatment for Axillary Hyperhidrosis is $1150 . At this stage, there is no Medicare rebate for this procedure however net medical expenses over $1500 per financial year may be tax-rebatable.
