Procedure at a glance
Who is hyperhidrosis Botox in Gangnam for?
Hyperhidrosis Botulinum Toxin (Botox) is a procedure that injects botulinum toxin into areas of excessive sweating to temporarily reduce the signals reaching the sweat glands, considered when underarm, palm, or sole sweating disrupts daily life. It takes about 10 minutes, and daily activities can usually be resumed immediately.

About the procedure
When sweat shapes what you wear and how you feel
Sweat is produced when acetylcholine released at sympathetic nerve endings stimulates the sweat glands, and when these signals are overactive, the underarms, palms, or soles can sweat enough to disrupt daily life. Hyperhidrosis botulinum toxin temporarily suppresses acetylcholine release, reducing the signals that reach the sweat glands.
Because it is a simple injection into the concern area without incisions, the procedure takes about 10 minutes, and reduced sweating may also help manage sweat-related odor and the discomfort of dampness. Effects usually begin about two to three days after the procedure, and the dose is set during consultation according to the area and your sweat levels.
