A doctor-performed treatment for the scalp with three distinct applications: scalp hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), scalp health to support the scalp environment, and chronic migraine management. Each indication is assessed individually at consultation. Med Beauty has clinics in Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD. All treatments are performed by AHPRA-registered doctors. Free consultations are available.
Scalp hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating of the scalp and head. The sweat glands in the scalp produce more sweat than the body needs for temperature regulation, creating persistent wetness regardless of heat or activity. A doctor-performed treatment placed in precise points across the scalp can temporarily block the sweat glands from receiving the signal that triggers production. The reduction in sweating typically becomes noticeable within one to two weeks. Results are temporary and vary between individuals.
A doctor-performed treatment placed into the scalp can reduce tension in the scalp muscles and support circulation in the scalp tissue. This approach is used by patients interested in supporting scalp health and the scalp environment. It does not directly treat hair loss or guarantee hair growth outcomes. Whether this approach is appropriate, and what it can realistically address, is assessed at individual consultation. Pricing is confirmed at consultation.
For patients with chronic migraine, a doctor-performed treatment placed at specific points around the scalp, forehead and neck can be discussed as part of a management approach. This is a medical application and is assessed separately from cosmetic indications. Suitability depends on individual medical history and is determined at clinical consultation. Pricing is confirmed at consultation.
At consultation a doctor examines the scalp, reviews the specific concern whether hyperhidrosis, scalp health or migraine management and takes a relevant medical history. Each of the three applications has different clinical assessment criteria. The doctor will confirm whether treatment is appropriate for your specific situation, what the treatment involves, what results are realistic and what risks apply. There is no obligation to proceed at the consultation.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Some mild tenderness at the treatment points is possible for a day or two. Your doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions, including guidance on washing the hair in the days following the appointment.
Scalp hyperhidrosis treatment is a doctor-performed procedure that targets the scalp with small, precise placements to help manage excessive sweating.
The treatment is intended to temporarily reduce activity in overactive sweat glands, which may help decrease excessive sweating in the treated area. Sweat production in the rest of the body continues to function normally.
A doctor-performed treatment placed into the scalp can reduce tension in scalp muscles and support the scalp tissue environment. Some patients ask about this in the context of scalp health. It is not a hair loss treatment and does not guarantee hair growth outcomes. What the treatment can realistically address for an individual's scalp is assessed by a doctor at consultation. Pricing and a treatment plan are confirmed at that appointment.
For patients with chronic migraine, a doctor-performed treatment can be placed at specific points around the scalp, forehead and neck as part of a management approach. This is assessed as a medical rather than cosmetic indication and requires individual clinical assessment including a review of medical history. Whether this treatment is suitable is confirmed at consultation with an M1 Med Beauty doctor.
The treatment targets the sweat glands or scalp muscles, not the hair follicles. Hair growth and texture are not directly affected. Your doctor will advise on any specific aftercare for the scalp in the days following the appointment, including guidance on washing the hair.
