Quick answer

What is hand Botox?

Hand Botox treats palmar hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating of the palms. Tiny amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the skin of the palm, where they block the nerve signals that switch on the sweat glands, so the hands stay much drier.

It is a well-established medical use of botulinum toxin. Because the palm is sensitive, numbing and careful technique matter. For sweating elsewhere, see Botox for excessive sweating.

Before & after

How hand Botox keeps palms dry
