Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating is a common condition where an individual sweats more than the body requires for normal body temperature regulation. Also sometimes referred to as hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating can occur even in cool temperatures or when an individual isn’t physically active. It’s estimated that 1 in 4 Australians experience excessive sweating, which can lead to emotional and social distress. Fortunately, the experts at The White Room Clinic offer a personalised and holistic approach to reducing sweat production. Treatments, such as non-invasive injectables, are designed to regulate overactive sweat glands.
