Botox for Sweaty Hands (Palmar Hyperhidrosis): What to Expect

Sweaty palms aren’t a small thing when you live with them — handshakes become stressful, phones slip, paperwork smudges, and holding hands is something you think about. If prescription antiperspirants haven’t worked, Botox for palmar hyperhidrosis is one of the most effective options available.

Why hands sweat excessively

Palmar hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating of the palms — is usually not about heat, anxiety, or hygiene. It’s a medical condition where the nerves that control the sweat glands are simply overactive. That’s why wipes, powders, and willpower don’t fix it.

How Botox helps

A series of small, shallow injections across each palm temporarily blocks the nerve signals that switch on the sweat glands. In clinical studies of hyperhidrosis treatment, most patients experienced an 80–90% reduction in sweating in the treated area — while the rest of the body continues sweating and regulating temperature normally. Full details on our hyperhidrosis treatment page.

The honest part: comfort

Palms are one of the more sensitive areas to inject — more so than underarms. Crystal uses numbing and ice to make the appointment manageable, and it’s over in about 20–30 minutes. Most people find the weeks-to-months of dry hands well worth a short, uncomfortable appointment. You may also notice mild, temporary weakness in grip for a short period afterward — Crystal will walk you through what to expect.

Results and duration

• Sweating typically reduces noticeably within one to two weeks
• Relief generally lasts 4–9 months, sometimes longer
• The treatment can be repeated when it wears off

Pricing starts at $999 for both hands, confirmed at consultation. Because hyperhidrosis is a medical condition, some private insurance plans in Canada cover this treatment — check your plan; we can provide a receipt.

Who it suits

• Palms that sweat regardless of temperature or stress level
• Prescription antiperspirants haven’t worked
• Sweating interferes with work, sports, or everyday moments
