Hello.
I am Director Hwang Jeong-bo of Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
"My hands are dripping with sweat even when I'm not nervous."
"I can't wear certain clothes in the summer because of my underarms."
"I was so embarrassed because my laptop keyboard got soaked during a meeting."
If these experiences happen repeatedly
rather than just once, you may suspect hyperhidrosis.
It is easy to think that excessive sweating is simply a matter of physical constitution.
However, if your hands get wet or your underarms become soaked
even when the temperature is fine and you aren't particularly nervous,
it may be that your sweat glands themselves are overactive,rather than just your constitution.
The fact that it cannot be controlled by will is what makes this concern even more difficult.
Because even if you compose yourself, the sweating does not stop.
That is why a method of approaching the nerve signals themselves was developed.
Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox is a procedure that follows that direction.
Today, I will honestly explain everything starting from the principles.
Why does excessive sweating occur only in these specific areas?
Sweating is a normal response secreted for body temperature regulation.
The problem is when it occurs excessively
only in specific areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet.This is the case.
This is called focal hyperhidrosis.
The sweat glands in these areas are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system;
when the nerves become overactive,
the sweat glands remain in a state of continuous operation regardless of body temperature.
Just as water leaks when the pressure inside a pipe is high
even if the faucet is not turned on,
when nerve signals are excessively transmitted, the sweat glands cannot stop secreting.
It is difficult to regulate these nerve signals themselves
through topical products or lifestyle corrections alone.
How does Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox work?
Botulinum toxin blocks the secretion of a neurotransmitter
👉called acetylcholine at the nerve endings.Acetylcholine is a substance that transmits the signal
to "secrete" from the nerves to the sweat glands.
When this signal transmission is blocked, the sweat glands are not stimulated,
acting to reduce the amount of secretion.
To explain it simply:
Just as a phone will not ring even if a call comes in if the battery is removed,
Botox works by temporarily
disconnecting the link between the nerves and the sweat glands.
The US FDA has approved Botox for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis,and it is also used clinically for other areas such as the palms and forehead.
Which areas can it be applied to?
The areas where Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox is primarily used are
the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, forehead, and scalp.
The approach varies slightly depending on the area.
The underarms are known to be a high-satisfaction area,as the pain is relatively low and the effects are distinct.
The palms are an effective area,
but there may be some pain during the procedure,
and in rare cases, temporary muscle weakness may occur.
If you have a profession that requires precise use of your hands,
you must mention this during your consultation before the procedure.
The soles of the feet have thick skin, and Botox absorption
may be lower than in other areas,so the effect or duration may be relatively shorter.
The forehead and scalp are sometimes treated
for those with facial hyperhidrosis.
Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox Pain
Because nerves are concentrated in the palms and soles,
many people feel pain more intensely there than in the underarms.
Since the perceived difference is significant,
if you are concerned about pain, please let us know in advance,
and we will coordinate the method with you.
Effects begin to appear within 2 to 4 days after the procedure
and are generally known to last for about 4 to 6 months.
However, there are differences depending on individual sweat secretion levels and living environments.
Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox is not a permanent treatment.
👉
Once the duration of the effect passes,
the sweat glands become active again, necessitating a repeat procedure.
Among those who maintain it consistently,
some experience a tendency for sweat secretion to decrease
after repeated procedures,but this varies by individual and does not apply to everyone equally.
Additionally, excessive repetition at short intervalsmay lead to the development of resistance.
Maintaining appropriate intervals is important for long-term management.
It is not recommended for everyone.
Those who are pregnant, have specific neuromuscular diseases,
or are taking related medications must confirm this before the procedure.
It may be suitable for the following individuals:
Those whose underarm, palm, or sole sweat interferes with daily life
Those who feel uncomfortable in handshaking or face-to-face situations due to sweat
Those whose clothing choices are limited every summer
Those who are reluctant to go out due to severe forehead or scalp sweat
For individuals like those mentioned above, Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox can be an option.❗
Precautions
Please avoid saunas, vigorous exercise, and alcohol on the day of the procedure.
These can interfere with the Botox settling stably.
It is also recommended to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area strongly on the same day.
Temporary swelling or bruising may occur at the injection site, but most will naturally subside within a few days.
Those who have received palm treatment should be cautious with tasks requiring precise handwork for about a week after the procedure.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. When will I start to feel the effects of Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox?
Many people feel changes within 2 to 4 days after the procedure.
There are differences depending on the area and individual secretion levels,
and the effect often stabilizes around one week.
Q. Does it get worse than before once the duration of the effect ends?
No, it does not. When the effect wears off, it progresses toward returning to the pre-procedure state.
A phenomenon where it becomes worse than before does not generally occur.
Q. Can I receive treatment for both underarms and palms on the same day?
There are cases where it is possible.
However, since the procedure method and precautions differ for each area,
we will provide guidance after checking your skin condition.
Q. Does resistance develop if I receive it repeatedly?
It is known that antibodies may form
if repeated at excessively short intervals.
Maintaining appropriate intervals is important,
and if you are planning long-term management, please let us know during the consultation,
so we can guide you toward products with a lower possibility of resistance.
Q. I heard that hand hyperhidrosis can affect one's profession.
Temporary muscle weakness may rarely occur after palm treatment.
If you are in a profession that requires precise handwork, please be sure to mention it before the procedure.
The dosage and injection method must be carefully designed.
Gangnam Hyperhidrosis Botox is a procedure that approaches hyperhidrosis
by temporarily blocking the nerve signals transmitted to the sweat glands.
If topical applications or lifestyle habits haven't solved the issue,
this direction can be an option.
However, since the approach varies by area
and the procedure design changes according to profession or lifestyle patterns,
it is important to check the condition directly first.
