01 Start here — direct answer

What is Hyperhidrosis Botox, and what does it do?

Hyperhidrosis Botox places botulinum toxin just under the skin of the sweating area, where it blocks the nerve signal that tells the sweat glands to work. The glands do not disappear; they simply stop receiving the instruction, so the area stays dry for four to six months and the treatment is repeated when sweating returns. It is the standard medical treatment for underarm sweating that antiperspirants do not control, and it works for palms and soles as well, with more injection points and more numbing.

At Boom Dermatology in Seomyeon the 200-unit body session covers both underarms, or both palms, in a grid of small intradermal injections. Patients book it in spring to be dry through a Busan summer, before a wedding or a presentation season, or when sweat marks are a daily problem at work. Sweating that is new, night-time or accompanied by weight loss is not a cosmetic problem and the doctor, an internal medicine specialist, will say so.

What Busan patients ask before Hyperhidrosis Botox
  • I change shirts twice a day and antiperspirant has never worked.
  • My palms are wet when I shake hands and it affects my job.
  • Will the sweat just move somewhere else?
  • How much does this actually reduce it, half or more?
  • Is this something I have to keep doing forever?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

02 Who it suits

Who is Hyperhidrosis Botox for?

Good candidates

  • Underarm sweating that soaks shirts despite clinical-strength antiperspirant
  • Wet palms that affect handshakes, writing or work
  • Sweating that is worst in social or work situations
  • Patients who want four to six months of relief timed to summer or an event
  • Soles of the feet, on request, with the same protocol

We will suggest something else

  • New, night-time or generalised sweating, which needs a medical check first; our internal medicine specialist will do it
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions
  • A skin infection or open skin in the area
  • Patients expecting a permanent cure; this is repeated every four to six months
  • Palms in patients whose work needs fine grip strength in the next month; a small, temporary weakness is possible

03 The visit

What happens at a Hyperhidrosis Botox session in Seomyeon?

This is how a Hyperhidrosis Botox visit runs at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, from the first message to the review.

1

Message first

Tell us the area and when sweating is worst. The doctor replies with the plan, the brand options and the VAT-included price.

2

Consultation

The doctor checks the pattern, rules out medical causes if the history suggests one, and marks the grid.

3

Numbing cream, twenty to thirty minutes

Topical anaesthetic; ice for palms. The underarms are quick; palms take longer.

4

Injections by the doctor

Fifteen to twenty-five small intradermal points per side. Under twenty minutes.

5

Out the door

Pinpricks for an hour. No deodorant for the rest of the day, no sauna for 24 hours.

6

Two-week review

We message you. Sweat has usually dropped within the first week; the doctor checks for any missed spot.

How does Boom Dermatology dose Hyperhidrosis Botox?

Hyperhidrosis Botox is dosed by grid: units are spread across the whole sweating area so no patch is missed.

Map the area

The sweating zone is marked, sometimes with a starch test, and divided into a grid about 1.5 cm apart.

200 units per area

Enough for both underarms or both palms; large areas are dosed as two sessions rather than overdosed.

Timing

Four to six months of effect; most patients treat once a year in spring, twice if palms are the issue.

07 Questions, answered properly

Does Botox for sweating stop it completely?

It reduces it by well over half for most patients and to near-dry in the treated area for many; a good result means no visible marks on a shirt and no need to change during the day. A poor result, a patch that still sweats, is almost always a missed area in the grid, which the two-week review catches and a small top-up fixes.

Will the sweat move to another part of my body?

Some patients report slightly more sweating on the back or chest after underarm treatment, which is the body's cooling shifting rather than new disease. It is uncommon and mild. Sweating does not "build up" anywhere; the glands in the treated area simply rest.

Why do palms cost the same as underarms here, and is it different?

At Boom Dermatology both are a 200-unit session at the same price. Palms take more injection points, more numbing and more time, and carry a small risk of temporary grip weakness, which is why many clinics charge more. We price by the toxin, not by the time, and the doctor explains the grip point before you decide.

Do I have to keep repeating this indefinitely?

For as long as you want to stay dry, yes: the effect lasts four to six months and wears off completely. Many patients treat once a year in spring and accept winter sweating; palms are usually treated twice a year. There is no cumulative harm from repeating it.

When should I have it done relative to summer?

Four to six weeks before the heat starts: in Busan, April or May. The effect is full within two weeks and lasts through to early autumn. If you are visiting Busan at another time of year, treat when you are here; the clock starts at injection.
