What Hand Botox Is

Hand Botox refers to using botulinum toxin injections in the hands to reduce excessive sweating (palmar hyperhidrosis) and can also soften certain muscle activity that contributes to tension or discomfort. In cosmetic contexts, it’s most commonly used to control sweaty palms, helping people feel more comfortable and confident.

It’s a non-surgical treatment aimed at reducing sweat gland activity in the hands.

How It Works

• Targeted injections: Small amounts of Botox are injected into areas on the palms where sweating is most intense.
• Nerve signal disruption: The toxin blocks the nerve signals that tell sweat glands to produce sweat.
• Reduced sweating: This leads to significantly less sweat production in the treated area for a period of time.

Botox doesn’t “cure” sweating permanently — the effect gradually wears off, so repeat treatments are used to maintain results.

What to Expect

 Consultation

Before treatment, you should have a consultation where:

• Your sweating pattern and severity are assessed
• The provider explains how many injections and units will be used
• You discuss realistic results and what to expect
• You can ask questions and share any concerns

 The Procedure

• Quick: Usually about 10–30 minutes
• Comfortable: Small injections in the palms
• Minimal downtime: Most people return to normal activities soon after

 Results & Duration

• Initial change: Some reduction in sweating within a few days
• Full effect: Around 1–2 weeks
• Duration: Typically 3–6 months depending on individual response

When the effect lessens, sweating gradually returns and follow-up treatments can be scheduled.

Benefits

✔ Noticeable reduction in hand sweating
✔ Improves comfort and confidence in social/professional settings
✔ Quick, minimally invasive procedure
✔ No major downtime

Some people also find that relaxing certain hand muscle activity helps with tension — though the primary cosmetic use is for sweat control.

Who It’s Best For

This treatment can be a good option if you:

• Experience excessive sweating of the palms that affects daily life
• Have tried topical antiperspirants or other treatments without sufficient results
• Prefer a non-surgical approach
• Are okay with maintenance treatments over time

It’s not intended for conditions unrelated to sweat gland activity or for dramatic changes in hand appearance unrelated to sweating.

Aftercare Tips

To support good results:

✅ Avoid rubbing or pressing the treated area for about 24 hours
✅ Keep hands clean and dry immediately after injections
✅ Avoid intense exercise or heat (like saunas/steam) on the day of treatment
✅ Follow any aftercare instructions your provider gives

When contacting a clinic in Seoul, you might ask:

1. Do you offer Botox for excessive sweating of the hands?
2. How many units are typically used for palmar treatment?
3. What results can I realistically expect, and how long will they last?
4. Can the consultation and aftercare instructions be provided in English (or my language)?
