The sole carries roughly 600 sweat glands per square centimetre, so botulinum toxin is spread across a grid of 30 to 50 points to calm excess foot sweating for months.
Sole hyperhidrosis treatment near Incheon Airport uses botulinum toxin injected across the sweat-gland-rich sole to temporarily block the nerve signal that triggers sweating, calming damp, slippery feet for several months. Because plantar skin is thick and sensitive, Dr. Seongjun Cho uses ankle nerve-block comfort care and doses each foot to your severity.

Sole hyperhidrosis treatment near Incheon Airport is a non-surgical way to reduce excessive sweating of the soles using botulinum toxin. Plantar (sole) hyperhidrosis means the feet sweat far more than the body needs for temperature control, leaving socks and shoes damp, causing slipping and odour, and often affecting confidence. Botulinum toxin injected into the sole temporarily interrupts the nerve signal that switches sweat glands on, so the treated area stays drier for months.
The sole is a demanding area to treat because its skin is thick and it holds hundreds of sweat glands per square centimetre. To cover it evenly, the doctor divides each sole into a grid of many small injection points. Comfort is planned in advance, usually with an ankle-level nerve block or firm topical numbing, so the session is tolerable despite the sensitive skin.
At Reberry Clinic, this treatment is doctor-led. Dr. Seongjun Cho, Medical Director at our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location, grades your sweating, maps the treatment zone, and explains what to expect in English. Because we are near ICN in Yeongjongdo, international patients on a stopover or transit route can plan a session conveniently around a layover, with English-speaking staff coordinating timing.
Botulinum toxin type A works by temporarily blocking acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that nerves use to tell eccrine sweat glands to activate. When that signal is interrupted in the treated zone, the glands stay quiet and the sole produces far less sweat for a period of months before nerve function gradually returns. On the sole, technique matters more than almost anywhere else: the skin is far thicker than facial skin, and the glands are densely packed, so the toxin is delivered across a grid of roughly 30 to 50 small, shallow injection points per foot to spread the effect evenly. Because plantar injections can be uncomfortable, an ankle nerve block or strong topical numbing is used before treatment. Dr. Cho tailors both the injection map and the dose to your foot size and sweat severity, so a mildly damp foot and a drenching, sock-soaking pattern are treated differently. This is a temporary, repeatable treatment rather than a one-time fix.

The doctor identifies where each sole sweats most and grades severity, which guides the injection grid across 1 or both feet.
An ankle nerve block or firm topical numbing is applied first, since plantar skin is sensitive, taking about 10 to 20 minutes to work.
Botulinum toxin is placed across roughly 30 to 50 shallow points per sole so the toxin spreads evenly over the gland-rich area.
Over the next 3 to 7 days the toxin blocks the nerve signal to sweat glands, and sweating keeps easing for about 2 weeks.
After several months nerve function returns, so a repeat session is planned to maintain drier feet over time.

Dr. Cho grades your sole sweating, maps the treatment zone, and explains the plan and comfort care in English before anything begins.
After an ankle nerve block or numbing, the session usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes per foot depending on the dose.
Most patients treat both soles in a single visit rather than across separate appointments, so one session covers both feet.
Sweating typically eases over 3 to 7 days and continues settling across roughly 2 weeks after treatment.
Drier feet commonly last several months, after which a repeat session maintains the effect; simple aftercare keeps recovery smooth.
Sole hyperhidrosis treatment uses botulinum toxin injected across the sole to temporarily block the nerve signal that activates sweat glands, calming excess foot sweating for months. It is non-surgical and repeatable. You can learn more on our botox injection page before your consultation.
Botulinum toxin blocks acetylcholine, the messenger nerves use to switch sweat glands on, so the treated sole stays much drier. The effect is temporary, lasting several months before nerve function returns. Because the sole is gland-dense, the toxin is spread across many small injection points for even coverage.
The sole is sensitive, so an ankle nerve block or firm topical numbing is used first, and most patients tolerate the session well once it takes effect. You may feel brief pressure at each point. Dr. Cho explains the comfort plan in detail before starting so you know what to expect.
Each sole is usually divided into roughly 30 to 50 small, shallow injection points so the toxin covers the sweat zone evenly. More points give steadier results across the whole foot. The exact grid is mapped to where your sole sweats most, which the doctor assesses at consultation.
Sweating usually begins to ease within 3 to 7 days and continues settling over about 2 weeks as the toxin reaches full effect. Results build gradually rather than instantly. If any patch still sweats after the settling period, your doctor reviews whether a small top-up helps.
Drier soles commonly last several months before sweating gradually returns, since the effect is temporary rather than a one-time fix. Most patients plan occasional repeat sessions to stay comfortable. Your doctor discusses a realistic repeat interval based on how your feet respond over time.
Botulinum toxin for sweating is widely used and generally considered safe when injected by a trained doctor who reviews your history first. Common effects are mild, such as brief tenderness or small bruising. You can read more about the approach on our botox injection page.
Yes, most patients walk out and resume light activity the same day, though feet may feel briefly tender at the injection points. It is best to avoid intense walking or hot foot soaks for the first day. Comfortable, breathable shoes help while the results settle in.
Most healthy adults with moderate to severe sole sweating that affects footwear, grip, or confidence are suitable candidates. A consultation confirms severity and rules out contraindications such as pregnancy or certain nerve-muscle conditions. Dr. Cho explains what to expect before you decide to proceed.
Yes, many patients also treat palms or underarms, and these areas can be planned together in a single visit with separate dosing for each. Gland density differs by area, so each is mapped individually. You can explore related options on our injection treatment page.
Some people notice slightly more sweating in untreated areas, known as compensatory sweating, though it is usually mild with focal sole treatment. Your doctor discusses this possibility during assessment. If it bothers you, the treatment plan can be adjusted at a future session accordingly.
Very active people or those on their feet all day may notice sweating return a little sooner, so repeat sessions may be timed slightly closer together. Your doctor factors your lifestyle into the plan so the schedule fits how you use your feet day to day.
Aftercare is simple: avoid intense foot pressure and hot soaks for the first day, keep the area clean, and wear breathable footwear. No special products are required. A supportive skin care routine can help overall foot skin comfort while results settle.
Our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location, led by Dr. Seongjun Cho, performs sole hyperhidrosis treatment and is convenient for patients arriving at or transiting through ICN. English-speaking staff coordinate timing around your flight. You can begin planning on our botox injection page.
One visit is usually enough for treatment, so a short stay of 1 to 2 days is comfortable for a consultation and session. Because we are near Incheon Airport, many patients fit it around a layover. Results then continue to settle over the following days after you fly.
Yes, flying within a day is generally fine since the procedure is minimally invasive, though feet may feel briefly tender. Wear comfortable, breathable shoes and avoid long, intense walking right away. Your doctor provides simple aftercare so results settle smoothly while you travel onward.
International patients can complete treatment in a single visit, and the clinic offers remote check-ins in English so you know when a repeat is due. Many travellers time future sessions with return trips. You can review options anytime on our injection treatment page.
