Intradermal botulinum toxin type A reduces sweaty soles with minimal downtime, English support, and dryness that lasts about 3 to 6 months for international patients.
Sole hyperhidrosis treatment for foreigners in Seoul uses many shallow, intradermal injections of botulinum toxin type A across the soles to block the nerve signal that triggers sweat glands. The session takes about 20 to 40 minutes, English support is available, downtime is minimal so you can fly the same day, and dryness lasts roughly 3 to 6 months.
One-on-One guidance from a dedicated doctor, ensuring your skin is professionally monitored and treated from start to finish.
Fluent assistance in English, Japanese, and Chinese, making communication clear, respectful and comfortable for international patients.
Over 100,000 patients worldwide have received our personalized dermatological care, highlighting our expertise and reliable results.
Sole hyperhidrosis treatment uses intradermal botulinum toxin type A to reduce excessive sweating of the soles of the feet, a condition (plantar hyperhidrosis) that can cause slippery footwear, odour and social discomfort. Many small injections are placed just beneath the skin across the sweaty zone, blocking the nerve signal that activates the plantar sweat glands, so the treated area sweats far less while the effect lasts.
For international patients, it is one of the more travel-friendly options in Seoul because it needs little recovery and produces a clear reduction within about a week. Korea is a major destination for this care, and Reberry Clinic supports foreign patients in English from the first enquiry through follow-up. The clinic’s doctors map the active area, often with a starch-iodine test, and plan a treatment that fits a short trip.
Treatment is consultation-led, so we do not quote fixed online prices; cost depends on the sole area and dose your assessment shows. International patients are supported across our three Seoul-area locations (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport), with the Incheon Airport branch especially convenient for travellers arriving or departing on a tight schedule.
Botulinum toxin type A temporarily blocks acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that tells sweat glands to produce sweat, so treated soles sweat far less while the effect lasts. Because the plantar skin is thick and richly supplied with glands, 15 to 20 or more shallow intradermal injections are spread evenly across each sole, which is why careful mapping matters. Reduction typically begins within 3 to 7 days and reaches full effect by around 2 weeks, then gradually fades over 3 to 6 months as nerve signalling recovers. The mechanism targets sweat glands rather than the skin surface, so there is no incision and no scar, making it well suited to patients who must walk sightseeing or travel soon after their appointment.

ONE REBERRY CLINIC · MFDS-REGISTERED DEVICES · MULTILINGUAL CARE AT EVERY LOCATION
You contact the clinic in English ahead of travel, and the team helps schedule within your 1 to 2 day window.
On arrival, the doctor assesses your soles, often using a starch-iodine map to locate the most active sweat glands.
After numbing, 15 to 20 or more shallow injections per sole are placed over about 20 to 40 minutes for both feet.
The toxin blocks the sweat-gland nerve signal, reducing plantar sweating within 3 to 7 days.
You can fly home the same day, and arrange a remote check-in around 2 weeks later in English.
See representative outcomes from Reberry Clinic. Results build gradually and vary by individual; your plan is assessed at consultation.
The clinic’s doctors assess your soles and severity in English, then explain the plan and what affects cost.
After mapping and numbing, the many shallow injections across both soles take about 20 to 40 minutes.
Most patients walk out and resume gentle sightseeing the same day, avoiding heavy exercise for a few hours.
Sweating noticeably reduces within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect by around 2 weeks.
Dryness lasts about 3 to 6 months; remote English check-ins help plan repeat visits around future trips.
Yes, it is a travel-friendly option, taking about 20 to 40 minutes for both soles with minimal downtime. English-speaking support runs from enquiry to follow-up, and dryness lasts 3 to 6 months. You can read the underlying treatment detail on our botox injection page before you travel to Seoul.
Yes, international patients are supported in English from the first enquiry through the consultation, treatment and remote follow-up. Our team helps you book a time that fits a short trip and explains your plan clearly. Multilingual staff serve our three Seoul-area locations, so language is not a barrier to understanding your treatment and aftercare.
A 1 to 2 day visit is usually enough for consultation, mapping and the injections, because the treatment is quick. With minimal downtime you can continue gentle sightseeing the same day. Our English-speaking team helps schedule the appointment so it fits neatly into a short stay, as outlined on our botox injection page.
Yes, you can usually fly the same day, since the treatment is shallow and non-invasive with no bandaging. Wear comfortable shoes and avoid long, strenuous walking for a few hours. Cabin pressure does not affect the result, so air travel shortly after treatment is generally not a concern for visitors on a tight schedule.
The soles are thick, richly supplied with sweat glands, so 15 to 20 or more shallow intradermal injections per foot spread the toxin evenly across the active area. This even coverage is why mapping matters. Your doctor confirms the pattern during consultation and explains how it differs from underarm or palm treatment for comfort and dose.
Dryness typically lasts about 3 to 6 months before sweating gradually returns, which makes it easy to plan around travel. Many visitors schedule a follow-up on a later trip. You can confirm realistic longevity for your soles on our botox injection page and at your consultation in Seoul.
You will usually notice a clear reduction within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect by around 2 weeks as the toxin takes hold. This timing suits visitors who treat early in a longer trip. If you want results to settle before an event, plan treatment a couple of weeks beforehand where possible.
Cost depends on the sole area treated, the units required and your severity, so we do not post a fixed online figure. Soles often need generous dosing across both feet. Our doctors give an accurate quote after assessing you, and you can review related injection treatment options to understand the consultation-led approach.
The soles are sensitive, so numbing cream, ice, vibration or a nerve block is commonly used to keep you comfortable during the shallow injections. A session takes about 20 to 40 minutes for both feet. Any discomfort is short-lived, and most patients walk out and continue their day with only mild tenderness that settles quickly.
Downtime is minimal, so most visitors return to gentle activities the same day. You may notice small marks or mild tenderness underfoot that settle within days. Avoid intense walking, running and heat for the first several hours. This easy recovery is a key reason the treatment works well for international patients on short stays.
Botulinum toxin type A has a well-documented safety record for excessive sweating when administered by trained doctors at appropriate doses. Effects are temporary and reverse as nerve signalling recovers over months. Share your full medical history so your doctor can confirm suitability and rule out causes that need different management before treatment proceeds.
Wash and dry your feet, skip strong antiperspirant on the day, wear open or comfortable shoes and arrive a little early for mapping. Tell the team about any medications or conditions in advance. Simple preparation helps the consultation run smoothly within a short visit to Seoul and keeps the treated soles comfortable afterward.
Topical antiperspirants and iontophoresis are non-injection options but are often insufficient for true plantar hyperhidrosis, while botulinum toxin gives a reliable temporary reduction from one short visit. Many patients try topical routines first. Your doctor explains where injections fit, and you can review related injection treatment options during your consultation.
Often yes, since sole treatment is quick, your doctor can plan complementary care in the same visit where appropriate. Many visitors add a skincare session around their schedule. To understand options that pair well, see our skin care page and discuss sequencing safely at your consultation in Seoul.
Aftercare is simple: avoid strenuous walking, running, saunas and heavy heat for the first several hours, keep the soles clean and dry, and follow the written guidance your doctor provides. These steps fit easily around departure. Your dosing notes are kept on file so future visits remain consistent and efficient for you.
International patients can arrange remote check-ins in English about two weeks after treatment to confirm the result, and plan repeat sessions around future trips. Your dosing notes are kept on file for consistency. You can also arrange complementary care such as a related injectable plan when you next visit.
