Hyperhidrosis Hand Treatment

Hyperhidrosis of the hands causes excessive sweating of the palms that goes beyond normal temperature regulation. It can make everyday interactions uncomfortable, from shaking hands and handling objects to writing and using a phone, and is a common source of self-consciousness in both social and professional settings.

Anti-wrinkle injections placed just beneath the skin of the palms block the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production and restoring comfort and confidence for 3 to 4 months.

What to Expect

Your treatment begins with a consultation where your doctor will assess your symptoms, discuss the impact on your daily life and confirm suitability. Hyperhidrosis hand treatment is suitable for most adults, with the exception of those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A personalised treatment plan will be developed based on the severity and distribution of your sweating.

An anti-wrinkle solution is injected just beneath the skin across the palms of the hands, targeting the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands in this area. The session takes 15 to 30 minutes. The palms can be a sensitive area to treat, and your doctor will work to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout. Results begin to develop within a few days and are fully established within one to two weeks. Most patients experience a significant and sustained reduction in hand sweating that lasts 3 to 4 months.

Benefits of Hyperhidrosis Hand Treatment

Excessive hand sweating is one of the most commonly reported forms of hyperhidrosis and one of the most disruptive to daily life. The palms are involved in almost every form of physical interaction and manual task, meaning the impact of the condition is felt constantly rather than only in specific situations.

Anti-wrinkle injections address this directly by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical signal responsible for activating the sweat glands. Once this signal is interrupted, sweat production in the palms is significantly reduced without affecting normal hand function or sensation. Results establish fully within one to two weeks and typically last 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance treatments sustain the improvement and most patients find the change to their daily comfort and confidence significant and immediate.

Post-Treatment Care & Side Effects

Following treatment, some simple precautions in the first 24 hours help protect the result and minimise any swelling or bruising. Your doctor will go through this before you leave.

  • Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory medication for two days after treatment and one week before
  • Apply ice gently to the area if swelling occurs, wrapped in a cloth rather than applied directly
  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least four hours after treatment
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, walking is fine

Hyperhidrosis hand treatment is well tolerated by most patients. Side effects are mild and typically resolve on their own within a few days.

Common temporary side effects include:

  • Mild swelling and redness at the injection sites
  • Light bruising or discolouration
  • Tenderness or soreness in the treated area
  • Mild itching

These effects generally resolve within 2 to 7 days. All potential side effects will be discussed in full during your consultation.

Hyperhidrosis Hand Results Timeline

  • Immediately after treatment: Mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites. This settles quickly.
  • Days 3 to 7: The anti-wrinkle solution begins to block sweat gland signals. Palm sweating starts to reduce noticeably.
  • Days 7 to 14: Full results are established. Sweating is significantly reduced and the hands remain noticeably drier throughout the day.
  • Months 1 to 3: Relief is maintained consistently across all daily activities and social interactions.
  • Months 3 to 4: The effect gradually diminishes as the solution is broken down by the body. A follow-up treatment at this stage restores the relief.

For patients who have managed excessive hand sweating for years, the improvement in daily comfort, confidence and ease of interaction that this treatment delivers is consistently one of the most valued results of any treatment they have had.

Hyperhidrosis Hand Treatment FAQs

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating, which can affect various parts of the body, including the hands. It’s more than the typical sweating people experience in response to heat or exercise.
At Eden Medical, we offer a range of treatments for hand hyperhidrosis, including but not limited to, injections of Botulinum toxin (Botox), which help control the symptoms by temporarily blocking the nerves that stimulate sweating.
Patients may experience some discomfort during the injection process, but we use various techniques to minimise pain, including topical numbing creams. Most patients find the procedure quite manageable.
Most patients experience a significant reduction in sweating, with effects becoming noticeable within a few days after treatment. The results can last for several months, after which the treatment can be repeated as necessary.
The effects of the treatment can last from 3 to 6 months, varying from person to person. To maintain the results on the hands periodic follow-up treatments are recommended.
