Rappoel Dermatology Clinic offers Botox hyperhidrosis treatment that blocks sweat gland nerve signals, reducing underarm sweating by 80\u201390%. Learn about the procedure, results, and what to expect.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>What Is Hyperhidrosis?<\/h2>\n<p>Hyperhidrosis is a condition where certain areas of the body\u2014most commonly the underarms, palms, and soles\u2014produce excessive sweat regardless of temperature or stress levels. Underarm hyperhidrosis not only causes visible sweat stains but can also lead to social anxiety and reduced self-confidence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"highlight\">\n<p>Botox for hyperhidrosis has been used clinically for over 20 years and is approved by both the US FDA and Korean KFDA as a safe and effective treatment for underarm excessive sweating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How Does Botox Stop Sweating?<\/h2>\n<p>Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, temporarily inhibiting the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands. Unlike antiperspirants that merely “plug” pores, Botox directly shuts down the sweating command at the neural level.<\/p>\n<h2>Rappoel’s Hyperhidrosis Treatment Process<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Assessment:<\/strong> The director evaluates sweating severity and confirms whether it’s primary hyperhidrosis (ruling out secondary causes like thyroid conditions).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Iodine-Starch Test:<\/strong> Iodine and starch are applied to the underarms, with color change precisely mapping the most active sweating zones for accurate injection targeting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Injection:<\/strong> Intradermal injections are administered at approximately 15\u201320 points per underarm. The procedure takes about 20\u201330 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Post-Care:<\/strong>Normal activities can be resumed immediately. Avoid intense exercise and high-heat environments for 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>When Do Results Appear? How Long Do They Last?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweating reduction begins within 2\u20134 days<\/li>\n<li>Optimal results at 1\u20132 weeks<\/li>\n<li>Average sweating reduction of 80\u201390%<\/li>\n<li>Results last 4\u20139 months (varies by individual)<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance injections recommended every 6 months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Does It Hurt?<\/h2>\n<p>Underarm skin is thin and sensitive. Rappoel applies a topical numbing cream for 20\u201330 minutes before the procedure, significantly reducing discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pricking\u2014well within tolerable range.<\/p>\n<h2>Safety of Botox for Hyperhidrosis<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Only affects sweat glands in the treated area\u2014no impact on whole-body sweating<\/li>\n<li>Standard protocol approved by Korean KFDA<\/li>\n<li>Common side effect is mild bruising at injection sites, resolving within days<\/li>\n<li>Rare temporary mild muscle weakness, fully recoverable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Choose Rappoel for Hyperhidrosis Treatment?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Iodine-starch test for precise mapping\u2014no missed spots or over-treatment<\/li>\n<li>All injections performed by the clinic director<\/li>\n<li>Korean-manufactured Coretox botulinum toxin<\/li>\n<li>3-minute walk from Gangnam Station<\/li>\n<li>Full Chinese and English consultation support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can Botox cure hyperhidrosis permanently?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Botox effectively controls hyperhidrosis but is not a permanent cure.

Iodine-Starch Test:<\/strong> Iodine and starch are applied to the underarms, with color change precisely mapping the most active sweating zones for accurate injection targeting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Injection:<\/strong> Intradermal injections are administered at approximately 15\u201320 points per underarm. The procedure takes about 20\u201330 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Post-Care:<\/strong>Normal activities can be resumed immediately. Avoid intense exercise and high-heat environments for 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>When Do Results Appear? How Long Do They Last?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweating reduction begins within 2\u20134 days<\/li>\n<li>Optimal results at 1\u20132 weeks<\/li>\n<li>Average sweating reduction of 80\u201390%<\/li>\n<li>Results last 4\u20139 months (varies by individual)<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance injections recommended every 6 months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Does It Hurt?<\/h2>\n<p>Underarm skin is thin and sensitive. Rappoel applies a topical numbing cream for 20\u201330 minutes before the procedure, significantly reducing discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pricking\u2014well within tolerable range.<\/p>\n<h2>Safety of Botox for Hyperhidrosis<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Only affects sweat glands in the treated area\u2014no impact on whole-body sweating<\/li>\n<li>Standard protocol approved by Korean KFDA<\/li>\n<li>Common side effect is mild bruising at injection sites, resolving within days<\/li>\n<li>Rare temporary mild muscle weakness, fully recoverable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Choose Rappoel for Hyperhidrosis Treatment?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Iodine-starch test for precise mapping\u2014no missed spots or over-treatment<\/li>\n<li>All injections performed by the clinic director<\/li>\n<li>Korean-manufactured Coretox botulinum toxin<\/li>\n<li>3-minute walk from Gangnam Station<\/li>\n<li>Full Chinese and English consultation support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can Botox cure hyperhidrosis permanently?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Botox effectively controls hyperhidrosis but is not a permanent cure. Results last 4\u20139 months, and regular maintenance injections can provide long-term management.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Will underarm Botox affect my body’s ability to cool down?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">No. The underarm area represents only a small fraction of your body’s sweat glands. Your body will continue to cool itself through other sweat gland areas normally.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can men get Botox for excessive sweating?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Absolutely. Hyperhidrosis affects all genders equally, and Rappoel treats many male patients for underarm Botox sweating reduction.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can I exercise right after the treatment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Avoid intense exercise and high-heat environments (like saunas) for 24 hours. Normal activities can be resumed immediately, and regular exercise can resume the next day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Botox vs. antiperspirant for excessive sweating?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Antiperspirants only temporarily block pores with limited effectiveness, requiring daily use. Botox works at the neural level to suppress sweating for months at a time, dramatically improving quality of life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can Botox treat sweaty palms too?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Yes, but palmar injections are more painful and typically require nerve block anesthesia. Consult the director to assess whether this option is suitable for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<h3>Book a Hyperhidrosis Consultation at Rappoel<\/h3>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd 77, Seocho-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd50 Mon\u2013Fri 10:00\u201319:00 \u00b7 Sat 10:00\u201317:00<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcac WeChat Main: rappoelkr | WeChat Backup: rappoelkr2 | LINE: rappoelkr<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:16px;font-size:13px;color:#8B7355;\">Scan to connect with us<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;justify-content:center;gap:16px;flex-wrap:wrap;margin-top:10px;\">\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rappoel-clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rappoel\u5fae\u4fe1\u4e8c\u7ef4\u7801\uff08\u4e3b\u53f7\uff09-1.png\" alt=\"WeChat Main QR Code\" style=\"width:120px;height:120px;border-radius:6px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px;color:#6b5240;margin-top:4px;\">WeChat (Main)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rappoel-clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rappoel\u5fae\u4fe1\u4e8c\u7ef4\u7801\uff08\u5907\u7528\u53f7\uff09-1.png\" alt=\"WeChat Backup QR Code\" style=\"width:120px;height:120px;border-radius:6px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px;color:#6b5240;margin-top:4px;\">WeChat (Backup)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rappoel-clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Line\u4e8c\u7ef4\u7801-1.jpg\" alt=\"LINE QR Code\" style=\"width:120px;height:120px;border-radius:6px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px;color:#6b5240;margin-top:4px;\">LINE<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excessive underarm sweating affecting your daily life?
