Sweaty Arms and Palms
What is the Treatment for Sweaty Arms and Palms?
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be treated with various non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures. One effective treatment for sweaty arms and palms is the injection of botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) into the affected areas to temporarily block the nerves responsible for overactive sweat glands.
This procedure involves administering multiple small injections directly into the skin where sweating occurs. The treatment takes about 20-30 minutes, and the results can last from 4 to 6 months, significantly reducing sweat production and improving comfort and confidence.
Additional Hyperhidrosis Treatments
In addition to Botox, other effective treatments for hyperhidrosis include:
-
Iontophoresis: This treatment uses mild electrical currents passed through water and into the skin to reduce excessive sweating in the hands and feet.
-
Prescription Antiperspirants: These are stronger than over-the-counter options and can help control excessive sweating when applied regularly to problem areas.

Results can last between 4 to 6 months, after which the treatment may need to be repeated to maintain effectiveness.
