Botox for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is known as a procedure that aims to ease sweating by reducing the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands. Which approach suits you depends on where you sweat, the cause and your previous procedure experience. In the guidance materials of Repic Clinic in Gangnam, the Botox services listed are masseter (square jaw) Botox and wrinkle Botox (1 area or 3 areas). Whether Botox for hyperhidrosis is available should be confirmed directly before the consultation.
Scenario 1. You are looking into it for the first time
This is the situation where clothes get wet or your hands get sweaty even outside summer. Before thinking about procedures, it helps to note when the sweating increased and where it occurs. Sweating can also increase because of a particular condition or a medication you take, so your medical history and medications are checked first at the consultation.
Repic Clinic in Gangnam describes shared principles: obtaining data through pre-procedure diagnosis, having the physician personally design the treatment plan, and applying it individually rather than with a uniform protocol.
Scenario 2. You had it done before and are considering it again
This is the situation where you managed sweating with Botox before and feel it has increased again. The effect of Botox is not permanent, so it is common to consider repeating it as time passes. Duration varies from person to person, so it is hard to state a number of months.
At the consultation, you can describe the timing of your previous procedure, the treated area and the changes you noticed. This information becomes the basis for deciding the interval and scope of a repeat procedure.
Scenario 3. You are also considering other Botox or filler
This is the situation where, along with sweat management, you also have concerns about forehead and between-the-brow lines, a square jaw or volume. According to the FAQ of Repic Clinic in Gangnam, Botox relaxes muscles and filler adds volume, so their mechanisms do not overlap and same-day treatment is possible. However, applying both to the same area at the same time can affect how the filler is distributed, so the clinic advises that doing Botox first and adding filler 7 to 14 days later usually makes results easier to predict. The order and interval are designed differently by area.
| Situation | What to check first | What to decide at consultation |
|---|---|---|
| Looking into it for the first time | When sweating increased, medical history, medications | Whether treatment is possible, treatment area |
| Considering a repeat | Timing and area of the previous procedure, noticed changes | Repeat interval, scope |
| Combining with other procedures | Areas you want to combine (wrinkles, square jaw, volume) | Order of procedures, whether to use a 7 to 14 day interval |
Precautions and a check of your own situation
With Botox, temporary reactions such as bruising, swelling and pain at the treated area may occur depending on the individual. You should generally tell the clinic at the consultation whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding, whether you have nerve or muscle conditions, and which medications you take. It helps to organize the following items before the consultation.
- Where you sweat and the situations that bother you
- When the sweating increased
- Medications you take and underlying conditions
- History and timing of previous Botox or filler procedures
If you are at the stage of looking into it for the first time, start by organizing the diagnosis and medical history; if you are considering a repeat, your previous procedure records; and if you are considering combining procedures, the order and interval. Repic Clinic in Gangnam is located on the first basement level and the second floor at 318 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and whether Botox for hyperhidrosis is available can be confirmed through a consultation.
