Dreading the humid Korean summer?
Discover how a simple procedure can restore your confidence.
Hello! We are Relieve Clinic, a premium dermatology clinic located in the heart of Apgujeong, Seoul.
We specialize in helping international patients feel comfortable in their own skin—literally.
For many of our visitors, a botox injection for sweating (hyperhidrosis treatment) is not just a cosmetic choice; it is a necessity for social survival.
Whether it is avoiding gray shirts due to underarm stains or dreading a handshake because of clammy palms, excessive sweating can be deeply stressful.
You might be considering this treatment while in Korea, known for its advanced medical aesthetics.
However, you may have heard horror stories about the pain, especially in the hands, or complaints that “it didn’t work.”
But here is what most clinics won’t tell you about the failure rate…
There is a specific reason why a botox injection for sweating fails to stop the sweat, or wears off in just a few weeks.
It has nothing to do with the brand of Botox used.
We will reveal this critical success factor in the final section of this article.
At Relieve Clinic, our philosophy is “Beauty is completed in comfort.”
Today, we will guide you through how we make this life-changing procedure painless and effective, so you can enjoy your time in Seoul without worry.
Where Can You Get a Botox Injection for Sweating?
While underarms are the most common area, hyperhidrosis can affect various parts of the body.
At Relieve, we customize the treatment for your specific needs.
1. Axillary (Underarms)
This is the most popular botox injection for sweating. It blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands.
- Result: You can wear any color shirt without fear of stains.
2. Palmar (Hands)
Sweaty palms can cause social anxiety.
- The Challenge: The palms are very sensitive. Many clinics refuse to treat them or do so with extreme pain.
- The Relieve Solution: We use specialized anesthesia and nano-needles to make this bearable.
3. Plantar (Feet)
Sweaty feet can lead to odor and discomfort in shoes.
Treating this area significantly improves hygiene and comfort.
The “Ouch” Factor: Why Relieve Clinic is Different
The biggest barrier to getting a botox injection for sweating is the fear of pain. We understand this completely.
That is why we have developed a specialized protocol.
Comparison: Standard Clinic vs. Relieve Clinic
| Feature | Standard “Factory” Clinic | Relieve Clinic (Premium Care) |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Management | Ice pack only (High Pain) | Triple Anesthesia (Cream + Ice + Vibration) |
| Needle Size | Standard 30G Needle | Nano-Needle (Ultra-thin, minimal trauma) |
| Targeting | Visual estimation (Guesswork) | Minor’s Test (Scientific Mapping) |
| Consultation | 3 minutes with a manager | 1:1 with Representative Director |
| Result | Hit-or-miss accuracy | Precise targeting of active glands |
At Relieve Clinic, we believe you shouldn’t have to suffer to be beautiful or comfortable.
We invest in the best tools to ensure your experience is smooth.
The Critical Factor We Promised to Reveal
Remember we mentioned why some treatments fail or wear off too fast?
Here it is: Skipping the “Minor’s Test” leads to missing the target.
Sweat glands are not visible to the naked eye.
In many quick-turnover clinics, the doctor injects broadly into the general area.
If the needle misses the clusters of overactive glands, you will still sweat.
At Relieve Clinic, we perform the Iodine-Starch Test (Minor’s Test) before every botox injection for sweating.
- We apply a solution that reacts with sweat.
- The hyperactive areas turn dark purple.
- We inject precisely into these purple zones.
This ensures 100% efficiency of the medication, meaning you get drier results that last longer.
It takes more time, but it is the only way to guarantee satisfaction.

FAQ: Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Q: How long does the dry effect last?
A: Typically, the results last between 4 to 6 months. Many patients schedule their botox injection for sweating just before the summer season begins.
Q: Will my sweating increase in other areas (Compensatory Sweating)?
A: Unlike surgical options (sympathectomy), Botox rarely causes compensatory sweating in other body parts. It only stops sweating in the treated area locally.
Q: Is there any downtime?
A: No. You can return to your daily activities immediately. We just advise avoiding saunas, hot baths, or intense exercise for about 2-3 days to prevent the Botox from spreading to unwanted areas.
