Men’s Health & Performance in Sydney

It’s the medical side of the men’s clinic: excessive sweating, jaw clenching and grinding, energy, drive and hormonal health. Each is assessed by a doctor, with the cause worked out before anything is treated. The other three areas are Enhancement, Appearance and Hair, and you can start with any of them.

No, and it’s usually better that way. Most men arrive knowing something is affecting them without being sure what can be done about it. The consultation is designed to assess that properly and recommend what will make the biggest difference, rather than matching a treatment to a symptom in isolation.

If it’s affecting what you wear, which situations you avoid, or how you feel in a room, it’s worth assessing. The consultation works out whether it’s primary hyperhidrosis or a sign of something else, where and how severe it is, and the most appropriate approach. We’ll tell you plainly what’s achievable and what to expect.

It depends on where you sweat and how much. Options range from clinical-strength antiperspirants and iontophoresis to in-clinic and prescription options, offered only after a medical assessment. The in-clinic treatment uses prescription medicine, which Australian law doesn’t allow us to advertise, so it’s explained in consultation. More on the hyperhidrosis page.

Yes. Bruxism and an enlarged masseter muscle are both manageable. The consultation looks at jaw muscle bulk, movement, bite and signs of tooth wear, alongside headache patterns and sleep. The plan is built around reducing the muscle’s overactivity and easing the symptoms, with your dentist or a physio involved where that helps. More on the TMJ and jaw clenching page.

Often. Years of clenching enlarge the masseter muscles, which widens the lower face and gives the jaw a heavier, squarer look. That’s a functional and an aesthetic concern at the same time. The consultation assesses both: how the jaw is working and how the lower face is changing. The plan is built around both.

That uncertainty is a reasonable place to start. A change in energy, motivation or sex drive can have many causes, some medical and some not: sleep, stress, training load, weight, mood, alcohol, medicines, thyroid, iron and hormones among them. The consultation works that out, rather than assuming a cause or recommending a treatment first. We’ll tell you honestly whether there’s something to address, and what a realistic plan looks like.

Yes, where the history points to it. Testosterone is measured on a morning blood test, usually repeated, alongside the other things that affect it and the other causes of the same symptoms. A single low reading isn’t a diagnosis, and symptoms alone aren’t either. If a deficiency is confirmed, the treatment options are prescription-only, so they’re discussed in consultation, including what they mean for fertility and what needs monitoring.

Only where the result would change the plan. Sweating and jaw clenching usually don’t need any. Energy, drive and hormonal concerns usually do, because the same symptoms can come from several different places. Tests are done at a pathology collection centre, and we go through the results with you at your follow-up.

No. This isn’t general practice, and we’ll say so if something belongs with your GP or a specialist. Where it helps, and with your permission, your GP is kept in the loop with a letter, so nothing is managed in two places without the other knowing.

Yes. Clenching, sweating and energy often overlap, and more than one can be covered in the same appointment where that makes sense. The consultation is an hour, so there’s time to cover what matters most without rushing any of it.

It varies by concern. Some treatments last several months before a follow-up is due. Others are part of a longer-term plan with regular reviews. We’ll tell you from the start what the plan looks like, what to expect at each stage, and how often ongoing treatment is likely to be needed. Nothing is left vague.

Common. The focus is on where things stand now, not on continuing a previous plan simply because it was started somewhere else. Sometimes the approach stays similar; sometimes it changes. Bring any results or letters you have, and the plan starts from an honest assessment of your current situation.

It depends on what’s driving the concern. A plan can include in-clinic treatment, prescription medicine, referral, and changes at home. Australian law doesn’t allow prescription-only medicines to be advertised to the public, so those options are discussed in consultation rather than listed here.

A Health & Performance consultation at Male by Cleon is $300. It’s a consultation fee for the doctor’s time and the assessment, so unlike our other men’s consultations it isn’t taken off treatment. A $100 deposit books the appointment and comes off the fee. Treatment is priced in consultation, so you’ll know the full cost before anything starts. See all pricing.

An hour, in its own appointment time. That’s enough to take a proper history, examine what needs examining, order any tests and set a plan. Treatment for sweating or jaw clenching can often go ahead in the same session, if you want to.

Yes. Male by Cleon consultations run in their own appointment times, so you won’t sit in a waiting room with anyone else, and your records are kept under full medical confidentiality.

Cosmetic treatments aren’t covered by Medicare or private health insurance. Whether a rebate applies to a medical consultation or a test depends on the item, so ask us when you book and we’ll tell you plainly.

Yes. Seasonal hay fever that over-the-counter options don’t hold is assessed the same way: the triggers, what you’ve tried, and the options beyond the pharmacy shelf, including newer ones discussed in consultation. More on the hay fever page.

Those sit under Enhancement, with their own pages on erection enhancement and premature ejaculation. The two sides overlap, so if a hormonal or general health cause turns up, it’s assessed here as part of the same plan.

Health & Performance consultations are for men 18 and over. There’s no upper limit. What’s managed here turns up at every age: sweating, clenching, energy and hormonal health. The plan is set around where you are.

Male by Cleon is at Ground 02, 46a Macleay Street, Potts Point, close to Kings Cross, Elizabeth Bay, Darlinghurst, Rushcutters Bay and Woolloomooloo. Patients also travel from across Sydney, and every consultation runs in its own appointment time.
