Botox for Palmar Hyperhidrosis (Hands)

At By Gary Aesthetics – Center for Rejuvenation & Revitalization, we offer Botox injections for palmar hyperhidrosis, a highly effective medical treatment for individuals suffering from excessive sweating of the hands.

This condition can interfere with daily activities, social interactions, professional performance, and quality of life. Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that overstimulate the sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration and restoring comfort and confidence.

What Is Palmar Hyperhidrosis?

Palmar hyperhidrosis causes excessive sweating in the palms, even in cool temperatures or without physical activity.
This can result in:

• Wet or slippery hands
• Difficulty handling objects
• Staining documents or electronic devices
• Social discomfort when shaking hands
• Reduced confidence in professional settings

Botox is FDA-approved for hyperhidrosis and offers one of the most reliable non-surgical solutions.

4. Aftercare: Patients can return to most daily activities immediately.

Procedure time: 20–30 minutes
