Hand Botox in Seoul
Hand Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment primarily used to reduce excessive sweating of the hands and, in some cases, improve overall hand appearance. By targeting overactive sweat glands, Hand Botox helps keep the hands drier and more comfortable.

What is Hand Botox ?
Hand Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into specific areas of the palms to temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production. This treatment is commonly used for palmar hyperhidrosis and does not affect the structure of the hands.
