Botox injections reduce excessive underarm, palm, foot, or facial sweating within about 1 week and typically last around 6 months, with dosing mapped to each area at our Gangnam (Seoul) location.
Hyperhidrosis treatment in Gangnam, Seoul most commonly uses botox, which blocks the nerve signals that switch on sweat glands. Excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, feet, or face drops within about a week and stays controlled for roughly 6 months before the treatment is repeated. It manages the condition rather than curing it.

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond what the body needs to regulate temperature. Primary focal hyperhidrosis affects specific areas such as the underarms (axillae), palms, soles, or face, and can interfere with work, clothing choices, social confidence, and daily comfort. It is a genuine medical condition, not simply nervousness, and it responds well to targeted treatment.
The most widely used in-clinic option is botox, or botulinum toxin type A, injected into the affected area. It temporarily blocks the chemical signal between nerves and sweat glands, so treated skin produces far less sweat. Studies show a sharp reduction within about a week that typically lasts several months, after which the treatment is repeated. Underarms respond especially well, and palms, soles, and facial areas can also be treated with appropriate dosing.
At our Gangnam (Seoul) location, near Gangnam-daero and about 2 minutes from Gangnam Station exit 10, the clinic’s doctors confirm the pattern of sweating, map the area, and explain dosing, comfort measures, and realistic duration in English for international patients.
Sweat glands are switched on by a nerve chemical called acetylcholine. Botulinum toxin type A works by temporarily preventing that chemical from being released at the nerve endings supplying the sweat glands, so the glands in the treated zone stop overproducing sweat. The doctor first defines the sweatiest area, sometimes with a simple starch-iodine test that stains active zones, then injects small, evenly spaced amounts across a grid so coverage is uniform. Dosing is tailored to the region: the underarm is straightforward and highly responsive, while palms and soles need more injection points and careful comfort planning because they are sensitive, and facial or scalp sweating is dosed conservatively to protect nearby muscles. The effect is local and temporary, which is why the treatment is repeated as signals gradually recover. This targeted, area-specific approach is why an in-person assessment precedes any injection rather than a single fixed protocol.

The clinic’s doctors confirm primary focal hyperhidrosis and identify which of the main areas (underarm, palm, sole, face) to treat.
A starch-iodine test can highlight the sweatiest zones, guiding a grid of injection points spaced roughly 1 to 2cm apart.
Botulinum toxin type A is injected across many small points so it blocks nerve signals evenly; an underarm session often takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Excessive sweating usually reduces within about 1 week as the treated glands stop overproducing sweat.
Results last roughly 6 months on average, and repeat sessions maintain control when sweating gradually returns.

The clinic’s doctors confirm the sweating pattern, map the area, and explain dosing, comfort options, and cost transparently in English.
The area is cleaned and mapped, then injected across a grid of small points; an underarm session usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
The appointment is short and you can leave soon after, with any tenderness at injection sites settling within a day or so.
Sweating reduces within about 1 week and stays controlled for roughly 6 months before gradually returning.
Because the effect is temporary, repeat sessions maintain dryness, and your doctor tailors intervals to your response.
The most common in-clinic hyperhidrosis treatment is botox, or botulinum toxin type A, injected into the affected area. It blocks the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, reducing sweating within about a week. It suits underarms, palms, soles, and facial areas. You can begin an assessment through our botox injection page.
Botox temporarily blocks acetylcholine, the nerve chemical that switches on sweat glands, so treated skin produces far less sweat. The effect is local to the injected area and appears within about a week. It manages hyperhidrosis rather than curing it, so treatment is repeated roughly every 6 months to maintain control.
Underarms, palms, soles, and facial or scalp areas can all be treated, with dosing tailored to each region. Underarms respond especially well and are the most straightforward. Palms and soles need more injection points and comfort planning. Your doctor confirms which areas to treat during your injection treatment consultation.
Results typically last around 6 months, with studies reporting a median near 7 months for underarms and palms. Duration can lengthen with repeated sessions over time. As sweating gradually returns, you schedule another treatment. Your doctor plans intervals based on how your specific area responds to each session.
Underarm injections are quick and well tolerated, feeling like small pinpricks. Palms and soles are more sensitive, so comfort measures such as cooling, vibration, or a nerve block are used. Our injection treatment team explains the comfort options for your area beforehand so the session is comfortable.
Most people notice a clear reduction in sweating within about 1 week of treatment, as the treated glands stop overproducing sweat. The full effect settles over the following days. If any small area is missed, your doctor can review and touch it up at a short follow-up visit.
Downtime is minimal, with brief tenderness, small marks, or mild swelling at injection sites that usually settle within a day. You can return to normal activities quickly. Avoid intense exercise, saunas, and rubbing the treated area for the rest of the day, and follow your doctor’s specific aftercare guidance.
Botulinum toxin type A for hyperhidrosis is well studied and generally well tolerated when a doctor doses it correctly. Reported side effects are usually temporary and local, such as tenderness. Certain conditions like some neuromuscular disorders or pregnancy mean treatment is deferred, which a proper assessment identifies before you proceed.
Yes, several areas such as both underarms and palms can often be treated in the same visit, with dosing planned for each. This is efficient for international patients on a short Seoul trip. Your doctor discusses total dosing and comfort; you can review options on our botox injection page first.
Botox is not a one-time fix; it controls sweating for months and is repeated over time. Other approaches such as surgery exist for specific cases but carry their own trade-offs and are handled by specialists. For most people, repeated botox provides reliable, reversible, doctor-led control without a lasting procedure.
Prescription antiperspirants can help milder sweating, especially in the underarms, and are a reasonable first-line trial. Many people with moderate to severe hyperhidrosis, or with palm and sole involvement, find them insufficient. Botox offers a stronger, longer reset, and your doctor helps you decide which step suits your severity.
Adults with primary focal hyperhidrosis of the underarms, palms, soles, or face who find everyday sweating disruptive are typically good candidates. A consultation via our botox injection page confirms it is primary rather than secondary sweating and tailors dosing to your area.
Keep the treated area clean and avoid intense exercise, hot showers, saunas, and rubbing for the rest of the day. Minor tenderness fades quickly. Report any unusual weakness or persistent issues to your doctor. A gentle skin care routine keeps the skin comfortable while the injection points settle.
You can be treated at our Gangnam (Seoul) location, near Gangnam-daero and about 2 minutes from Gangnam Station exit 10, with full English-language support. The clinic also has Myeongdong and Incheon Airport locations. A consultation confirms your suitability and maps the safest dosing for your affected area.
The treatment is quick, so 1 to 2 days is usually enough for a consultation and the session. Because the effect appears over the following week and lasts months, no long stay is needed. Our English-speaking team helps you plan the visit efficiently around your travel schedule.
Yes, flying the same or next day is generally fine, as the injections are minimally invasive with little downtime. Avoid intense exercise and hot environments for the rest of the day. Your doctor provides area-specific aftercare to follow while you travel and explains when to expect the sweat reduction to begin.
