Hello.
I am Dr. Kim Dong-young, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever experienced damp palms or sweat marks on your clothes in the armpit area, even on ordinary days rather than just in the summer?
"I feel self-conscious when my hands are wet during a handshake, and I can't wear gray clothes because of the armpit sweat marks."
Sweat that is secreted regardless of ambient temperature or activity level, rather than normal sweat for body temperature regulation, causes significant discomfort in daily life.
Hyperhidrosis Botox at our Hongdae branch works by temporarily reducing the nerve signals to the sweat glands, thereby lowering sweat secretion itself.
Today, I will explain what hyperhidrosis is, the principle of how we sweat, and how Botox works.
What is hyperhidrosis?
👉 Hyperhidrosis is a condition where an abnormally large amount of sweat is secreted from eccrine sweat glands due to the excessive activation of the autonomic nervous system.
The process of sweating can be summarized briefly as follows:
When body temperature rises or you are in a tense situation,
the sympathetic nervous system is activated, and a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine is released from the nerve endings.
When this acetylcholine binds to the muscarinic receptors of the eccrine sweat glands, the sweat glands are activated and sweat is produced.
The human body has about 4 million sweat glands,
and about 3 million of them are eccrine sweat glands.
The problem with hyperhidrosis is that this signaling system is
excessively activated compared to normal.
At the same body temperature and in the same situation, you produce much more sweat than others,
and it tends to be concentrated in specific areas.
Hyperhidrosis is broadly divided into two types.
Focal Hyperhidrosis
It is a form concentrated in specific areas such as the palms, soles of the feet, armpits, and face,
and is frequently reported in younger age groups.
Generalized Hyperhidrosis
It is a form that appears throughout the body due to
internal or surgical causes such as thyroid abnormalities, medications, or hormonal changes.
Hyperhidrosis Botox is known as a treatment mainly applied to focal hyperhidrosis.
What is Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox?
👉 Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox is a procedure that lowers sweat secretion by injecting a Botulinum Toxin Type A product into areas with excessive sweating to temporarily block the release of acetylcholine at the nerve endings.
It is easy to think of it as turning off the signal line to the faucet for a while, rather than blocking the faucet itself.
When the signal is reduced, the sweat glands remain, but their activity decreases,
and as the toxin breaks down over time, it naturally returns to its original state.
It is reported as a procedure with relatively low recovery burden because it is an approach that regulates at the signal stage, rather than stimulating the skin surface or physically blocking the sweat glands.
Technical features of Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox
👉 Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox is a procedure that combines the acetylcholine-blocking action at nerve endings with
a design for optimal dosage by area.
Botulinum Toxin Type A ingredient
It is the most widely used form of toxin for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes,
and has the effect of temporarily blocking the release of neurotransmitters at nerve endings.
Optimal dosage by area
Depending on the area, such as the armpits, palms, or soles of the feet,
the optimal dosage is applied differently according to your condition.
Onset and duration of effect
The effect usually begins within 2 to 4 days after the procedure,
and it is known to last for about 4 to 6 months.
However, there are individual differences depending on the amount of sweat secretion and constitution,
so the maintenance period is reported differently for each person.
Effects and advantages of Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox
👉 The key advantages of Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox are summarized into three points: non-surgical approach, low burden for returning to daily life, and customized application by area.
First, it is performed by injection without incisions.
It is known as a good option to receive easily according to your schedule because the recovery burden is lower than active methods such as surgery or sweat gland excision.
Next, returning to daily life is fast.
Since it is an injection procedure with almost no damage to the skin surface,
daily life and light activities are often possible from the day of the procedure.
Finally, you can choose by matching the area and the type of toxin.
The areas are different, such as armpits, palms, and soles of the feet,
and we operate a lineup of domestic and imported toxins, so you can choose according to your schedule and budget.
Types of Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox
👉 At the Hongdae branch, we operate both domestic and imported Botulinum Toxin, and all options are composed in 100-unit increments.
The domestic line is usually chosen when you want to see basic effects while lowering the cost burden.
The pure toxin line is a formulation from which complex proteins have been removed,
so it is recommended if you plan to receive it regularly to reduce the possibility of resistance.
The imported line is an option chosen when you want a product with long-accumulated clinical data
or when you want to confirm product compatibility in a specific area.
The suitable line varies depending on your condition and usage plan.
Who is Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox suitable for?
Those whose clothing choices are limited because they are concerned about armpit sweat marks
Those who find it uncomfortable to shake hands or use a smartphone because their palms are wet
Those who are concerned about moisture inside their shoes due to foot hyperhidrosis
Those who want to temporarily reduce it before tense situations such as interviews or presentations
Those who are looking for pure toxin with low resistance because they plan to receive it regularly
⚠️ Precautions before and after Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox procedure
👉 For Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox, management by time point before and after the procedure affects the toxin's effect and safety.
Side effects of Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox and things to know in advance
👉 Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox is not a procedure that is maintained permanently with one session,
but a procedure that requires re-treatment after about 4 to 6 months.
Temporary stinging, light bruising, and slight swelling may appear in the treated area.
Most are reported to subside within a few days.
In the case of hand hyperhidrosis, a feeling of slightly reduced grip strength may accompany
for a few days after the procedure.
This is known to be a temporary reaction that recovers over time.
If you plan to receive regular repeated procedures, you should also consider the possibility of resistance.
If you receive Botulinum Toxin cumulatively, antibodies may form and the effect may decrease,
but the pure toxin line with complex proteins removed is known to reduce the possibility of resistance.
Please inform us in advance as the procedure may be restricted in the following cases:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you have a history of allergies to Botulinum Toxin or related ingredients
If there is active inflammation or infection in the treated area
If you have been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis or neuromuscular disease
If you are regularly taking medications that increase bleeding tendency
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. When does the effect of Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox appear?
Changes usually begin within 2 to 4 days after the procedure,
and the effect tends to stabilize after about 2 weeks.
The duration is known to be 4 to 6 months on average, but there are individual differences.
Q. Which is better between domestic and imported toxin for Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox?
It depends on your usage plan and priorities.
If you want to see basic effects while lowering the cost burden, domestic is recommended;
if you want a product with long-accumulated clinical data, imported Allergan is recommended;
and if you plan to receive regular repeated procedures and are concerned about resistance, the pure toxin line is recommended.
Q. What are the side effects after receiving Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox?
Typically, temporary stinging, light bruising, and slight swelling are reported for a few days.
In the case of hand hyperhidrosis, you may feel a temporary slight decrease in grip strength,
and it is known that most recover naturally over time.
Q. Which areas can receive Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox?
Armpits, palms, and soles of the feet are the most commonly applied areas.
Since the optimal dosage is applied differently depending on the area,
we will organize the area and dosage during the preliminary consultation.
Q. Do I have to receive the same toxin every time for Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox?
It is not necessarily required to receive only the same product.
However, if you plan to receive regular procedures, many people look into the pure toxin line
considering the possibility of resistance.
Q. Is it possible to return to daily life immediately after the Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox procedure?
Light daily activities are often possible from the day of the procedure.
However, it is recommended to avoid strong massage of the treated area, hot water showers, and saunas on the day of the procedure.
Hyperhidrosis is not simply a constitution with a lot of sweat,
but a state where the autonomic nervous system is more excessively activated than usual,
causing the eccrine sweat glands to secrete more sweat than normal.
Hongdae Hyperhidrosis Botox is a procedure that reduces the signal to the sweat glands itself
by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine at the nerve endings.
We operate a diverse lineup from domestic to imported pure toxin and Allergan,
so we will check the option that fits your condition and usage plan directly during the consultation.
If your daily life is uncomfortable due to armpit or hand/foot sweat,
please feel free to visit Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Even before deciding on the procedure, we will provide detailed guidance on your hyperhidrosis condition and
the suitable toxin lineup through a preliminary consultation.
