Quick answer · What is Palm Sweat Botox?
Palm sweat Botox treats palmar hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating of the hands. Small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected just under the skin in a grid across each palm, temporarily blocking the nerve signal that activates sweat glands. A session takes 20–30 minutes including comfort measures, with no downtime. Dryness usually begins in 3–7 days, is complete in 1–2 weeks and typically lasts 4–6 months.

How it works
Calmer sweat glands, normal hand function
The palms have a dense concentration of sweat glands, driven by nerve signals. Botulinum toxin placed in the skin temporarily blocks those signals so the glands produce far less sweat. Injections are kept shallow and even to reduce the chance of temporary weakness in the small hand muscles.
-
Mapping & comfort
Your doctor marks an even grid on each palm. Numbing cream, cooling or vibration is used, as the palms are sensitive.
-
Grid injections
Small amounts of botulinum toxin are placed just under the skin at each point with a very fine needle.
-
Drier hands
Sweating usually drops within a week, with the full effect by about two weeks.
