Palmar Sweating

Excessive palm sweating, known as palmar hyperhidrosis, is a common yet distressing condition that can impact daily activities, from gripping objects to social interactions like shaking hands. While sweating is a natural bodily function designed to regulate temperature, those with palmar hyperhidrosis experience overactivity of the sweat glands, leading to excessive perspiration that can be embarrassing and uncomfortable.

You Won’t Believe Botox Does This
Botox is often associated with smoother skin and softened lines, but its benefits extend far beyond wrinkle reduction. In this doctor-led video, Dr Maureen Allem, Founder of Skin Renewal, explores the many medical and aesthetic uses of Botox, from treating excessive sweating and chronic migraines to relieving jaw clenching and facial tension. With clear insight, she explains how Botox works beneath the surface to restore balance, comfort, and confidence while delivering refined aesthetic results, such as brow lifting and frown line softening.

Effective Palmar Hyperhidrosis Treatment at Skin Renewal

Palmar Hyperhidrosis, commonly known as excessive palm sweating, affects approximately 1% of the population. It can cause significant discomfort and social anxiety, impacting both personal and professional interactions. At Skin Renewal, we offer effective, non-surgical solutions to manage this condition.

What Is Palmar Hyperhidrosis?

Palmar Hyperhidrosis is characterised by excessive sweating in the palms. While sweating is a normal function that regulates body temperature, individuals with this condition experience excessive sweating. This can be triggered by various factors, including:

  • Physical activity or exercise
  • Emotional stress, anxiety, and intense emotions
  • Environmental factors such as heat or cold
  • Consumption of alcohol, caffeine, hot or spicy foods
  • Smoking

Although the condition typically begins in adolescence, no clear hormonal connection has been established. Many individuals with palmar hyperhidrosis also report a family history, with the condition showing a genetic link in 30% to 50% of cases.

Excessive sweating from palmar hyperhidrosis can be debilitating. It often leads to social embarrassment and difficulty performing everyday tasks such as writing or handling objects, and can even contribute to anxiety and depression. As a result, many individuals seek effective treatments to regain confidence and improve their quality of life.

Treatment with Neurotoxin

At Skin Renewal, we offer Palmar Botox, a proven treatment that effectively reduces excessive sweating in the palms. Neurotoxin injections work by blocking the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration. The procedure involves several tiny injections directly into the areas with the most severe sweating.

Results from Palmar Botox treatment typically last between 6 and 9 months, providing long-term relief and allowing individuals to enjoy dry, comfortable hands.

frequently asked
questions

Are palmar hyperhidrosis treatments available at all Skin Renewal Clinics?
Is palmar hyperhidrosis dangerous?

No, it is not medically dangerous, but it can significantly affect emotional well-being, confidence, and daily functioning if left untreated.

How long does Botox for sweaty hands last?

Most patients experience relief for around 4–5 months, after which repeat treatment may be needed.

Can hyperhidrosis be cured permanently?

There is no guaranteed cure, but many treatments provide excellent long-term symptom control.

Will your sweating move to other body parts if you treat your hands?

Compensatory sweating is mainly associated with surgical sympathectomy, not with Botox, iontophoresis, or topical treatments.

Is numbing used in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis?

Yes. When treating palmar hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin injections, numbing is typically used to improve comfort. The palms are a sensitive area, so topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment. This helps minimise discomfort while allowing the practitioner to deliver precise and effective injections.
