INTRODUCTION
SWEAT REDUCTION INJECTIONS
Sweating, as stinky and uncomfortable as it can be, is a naturally occurring process that helps to maintain normal body temperature. However, for some people, the sweat glands become overactive to a point that it causes excessive sweating and can potentially have a serious impact on your social life and relationship, perhaps even to your emotional health.
The good news is, excessive sweating or medically known as hyperhidrosis is treatable. At The Lime Tree Clinic, we offer a non-surgical procedure using sweat reduction injections to treat localised hyperhidrosis, allowing you to not sweat the small stuff to help you regain your confidence and peace of mind.

Sweat reduction injections are made of a natural, sterile and purified protein which is the same active ingredients used for anti-wrinkle injections. Due to the legal requirement of medical practice in Australia, the actual name of the injections cannot be disclosed here.
How do sweat reduction injections work?
