Quick answer

Hand Botox is mainly used to treat palmar hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating of the palms, by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor assesses your sweating and plans the injections; dryness usually starts within 1–2 weeks and typically lasts several months. For thin or ageing-looking hands, fillers or skin boosters are usually more suitable.

The treatment

What is hand Botox?

Hand Botox involves many small injections of botulinum toxin just under the skin of the palms and fingers. The toxin temporarily blocks the chemical messenger that tells sweat glands to produce sweat, so the treated area becomes noticeably drier. It is a well-established treatment for palmar hyperhidrosis, a condition in which the hands sweat far more than needed, often making handshakes, writing or using phones and keyboards uncomfortable.

Botox does not add volume or fix thin, wrinkled skin on the back of the hands. If your concern is visible veins, tendons or crepey skin, the doctor will usually recommend hand fillers or a skin booster instead. For sweating in other areas, see hyperhidrosis Botox.

Is it for you?

Who is a good candidate for hand Botox?

  • Palms that sweat heavily even when you are cool and calm
  • Sweating that interferes with work, sport or daily life
  • People for whom antiperspirants have not helped enough
  • Adults wanting a non-surgical, temporary option

Because the hands are used for fine movement, a small number of people notice temporary weakness in grip after treatment, so the doctor will discuss your job and hobbies first. Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with skin infection on the hands, or with certain neuromuscular conditions. Sudden new sweating can have medical causes and should be checked by a doctor.

Results

What results and recovery can I expect?

You can use your hands normally straight after treatment, although the palms may feel tender for a day. Sweating usually reduces within one to two weeks. The effect on the palms typically lasts several months, varying from person to person, and the treatment can be repeated when sweating returns. Small bruises at injection points fade within a few days. Mild, temporary weakness of fine finger movements is possible and usually settles on its own.

Step by step

How the treatment works

  1. Consultation

    The doctor confirms the sweating pattern, reviews your medical history and explains the expected effect and side effects.

  2. Comfort

    Numbing cream and ice are applied because the palms are a sensitive area.

  3. Injection

    Many tiny injections are placed in a grid across the palms and fingers with a fine needle.

  4. Aftercare

    Avoid saunas, hot baths and heavy gripping exercise for the rest of the day; mild tenderness is normal.

  • Tell us about sports or work that need strong grip so the plan can be adjusted.
  • Book through WhatsApp and mention that you are interested in palm treatment.
FAQ

How long does hand Botox last for sweating?

Results typically last several months, depending on the person and dose. Treatment can be repeated when sweating returns.

Does hand Botox hurt?

The palms are sensitive, so numbing cream and ice are used. Most people describe it as uncomfortable but manageable.

Will hand Botox weaken my grip?

A small number of people notice temporary, mild weakness in fine finger movements. It usually settles on its own.

Is hand Botox the same as hyperhidrosis Botox?

It is hyperhidrosis Botox applied to the palms. The same approach can also treat the underarms or feet.
