Medical Treatments for Hyperhidrosis & Bruxism
Everyday comfort matters. If excessive sweating or jaw clenching is affecting your sleep, work or confidence, we offer clinician delivered, non-surgical treatments to help. Each plan begins with a thorough consultation and facial/skin assessment with our AHPRA-registered nurse.

Overactive sweat glands can affect the underarms, and in some people the palms and soles, impacting confidence, relationships and work.
How treatment helps
Calms overactive sweat glands by blocking the signals that trigger perspiration.
Treatment time: usually 20–30 minutes.
When results appear: typically about 7 days, with peak effect soon after.
Longevity: commonly 6–9 months (varies by individual).
Areas: underarms; suitability for palms/soles assessed in consultation.
Aftercare
Avoid vigorous exercise, heat (saunas/steam) and deodorant on treated areas for 24 hours.
Mild redness, swelling or tenderness can occur and usually settles quickly.

Jaw Tension, Teeth Grinding & TMJ (Masseter)
The masseter muscles help us chew. For some people, constant clenching or grinding (bruxism) causes these muscles to enlarge, creating a squarer jawline and symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity and sleep disturbance to occur.
How treatment helps
Relaxes overactive jaw muscles to reduce clenching forces and associated discomfort.
May soften a bulky, square jaw appearance over time.
When results appear: early change from 2 weeks, with full effect around 6 weeks.
Longevity: often 6–12 months, depending on individual factors and muscle activity.
Aftercare
Chewing fatigue can occur for a few days.
Avoid hard or chewy foods immediately after treatment; follow your tailored instructions.
Same aftercare as in Wrinkle reducing Treatments.
All treatments require an initial consultation. We assess your medical history, discuss realistic expectations, and review potential side effects. A follow‑up appointment is recommended two weeks after your first treatment to evaluate your results and adjust your treatment plan if necessary.
