Hand Botox (Hyperhidrosis) — What Is It?
Hand Botox blocks the nerve endings that activate sweat glands in the palms, stopping excessive sweating. Botulinum toxin applied through micro-injections keeps hands dry for 4-6 months. It is a proven treatment for primary palmar hyperhidrosis.

- People with excessive palm sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Those whose social/professional life is affected by hand sweat
