Hand Sweating Botox
Ready to Shake Hands with Confidence and Move Freely in Your Social and Professional Life?
Does it bother you that your hands are excessively wet and clammy when you shake hands at a job interview, write during an exam, use a tablet or phone, or simply hold the hand of someone you love?
Hand sweating (palmar hyperhidrosis) is not just a physical inconvenience; it is a serious quality-of-life problem that directly affects your confidence in relationships, in your career and in everyday life.
The Hand Sweating Botox treatment we offer at our clinic frees you from this stress and anxiety within minutes, helping you step into a drier, more comfortable and more confident life.
What Is Hand Sweating Botox and What Does It Do?
Hand sweating Botox is a non-surgical, reliable medical aesthetic treatment that stops excessive sweating at its source by temporarily blocking the overactive nerve endings that stimulate the sweat glands in the palms.
The treatment brings excessive moisture and dripping sweat on the hands under control, so you can use your hands freely in your daily and professional life.
Who Is This Treatment Suitable For, and Which Problems Does It Address?
In patients who suffer from excessive hand sweating, we frequently see the following social and practical difficulties:
- Those Held Back Socially: People who avoid shaking hands, try to hide their hands in company or always have to carry a tissue.
- Those Facing Professional Difficulties: People whose papers get damp at work, who struggle with a keyboard and mouse, whose hand slips when holding a pen, or who play instruments or operate technical equipment.
- Those Hindered by Digital Obstacles: People who constantly run into problems using smartphone touchscreens and fingerprint readers.
- Those Caught in an Emotional Vicious Circle: People whose stress rises as they sweat more, and whose sweating becomes even more intense as their stress rises.
How Is the Treatment Performed? What Is the Process?
Because the palm is an area with sensitive nerve endings, patient comfort is our first priority during the treatment:
- Pain and Discomfort Control: Before the treatment, a highly effective anaesthetic cream is applied to the palms and a cold compress is used so that the area is completely numbed.
- Precise Injection: Micro-doses of botulinum toxin are injected into the palms and fingertips to block the nerve endings that stimulate the sweat glands.
- A Comfortable Process: Including preparation, the treatment takes approximately 15–20 minutes. As soon as it is finished, you can return straight to your social and working life.
What Do We Do? Why Choose Us? (The Dr. Ahmet Demir Clinic Approach)
At Dr. Ahmet Demir Clinic, our core principle is not merely to suppress the symptom but to assess each patient holistically.
- An Aetiological (Cause-Focused) Approach: For patients who come to us with excessive sweating, we first investigate whether there is a secondary medical cause that could be driving the sweating (for example, thyroid disease or metabolic disorders).
- The Right Solution for Idiopathic Sweating: Where the sweating has no underlying disease and no known cause (idiopathic), we apply Botox with the most appropriate dose and technique to restore our patient's comfort in daily life.
- A Natural and Safe Medical Touch: We work with precise knowledge of the correct tissue layers of the face and body, and we never allow treatments that would put your health at risk.
Benefits of the Treatment and Why It Must Be Performed by a Doctor
- It Is Not Surgery: No operation, incisions, stitches or the stress of anaesthesia.
- A Solution at the Source: Unlike creams or sprays, which are superficial and temporary, it is the most effective method because it acts directly on the nerve endings.
- A Doctor Is Essential: The palm contains fine muscle structures and delicate networks of blood vessels and nerves. For the treatment to target only the sweat glands without affecting muscle strength, it must be performed by an experienced doctor with a thorough command of anatomy.

Frequently asked questions
How Long Does the Treatment Take, and Is It Painful?
Including preparation, the treatment takes 15–20 minutes in total. Thanks to the local anaesthetic cream applied beforehand and the cold application, any pain is kept to a minimum and the procedure is extremely comfortable.
How Long Does It Last, and When Does It Start Working?
The effect of Botox begins to be felt within the first 3 to 7 days, and sweating stops gradually. The results last 4 to 6 months on average. With regular treatments, this period may become even longer.
What Should I Pay Attention to After the Treatment?
You can return to your daily life immediately after the treatment. For the first 24 hours, we simply recommend that you avoid washing your hands in very hot water, avoid rubbing them, and avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol.
Are There Any Side Effects or Risks? Will I Lose Strength in My Hands?
When performed by an experienced doctor at the correct dose, there is no reduction in hand muscle strength or grip. However, some people may experience mild weakness in the fingers that can last 3–4 weeks. Slight difficulty may be noticed in activities requiring fine finger movements, such as opening a bottle cap, holding a cigarette, or playing the saz or guitar. In addition, the risk of compensatory sweating that can occur after surgical sweating operations does not arise with Botox.
How Are Hand Sweating Botox Prices Determined?
Prices for hand Botox are set individually, according to the size of the sweating area on the palms, the intensity of the sweating and the dose of Botox (units) required.
