How long does botox for sweating take to work for sweaty palms?

Injections into the palms temporarily reduce nerve signals to sweat glands in the treated skin. The change may develop unevenly across the hand as different areas respond. Palm injections can also cause short-lived tenderness, swelling, or altered hand comfort. The aim is to reduce troublesome sweating while preserving useful hand movement and sensation, which is why treatment planning matters.

Keep your hands clean and follow specific instructions about washing, gripping, exercise, and topical products. Avoid rubbing injection sites. Plan for temporary tenderness if your work involves typing, tools, or manual tasks. Tell the clinician if numbness, weakness, or difficulty using the hands develops, and attend the planned review to discuss the balance between dryness and comfort.

Seek advice for increasing redness, warmth, pus, fever, severe pain, or swelling that is getting worse. Promptly report new hand weakness, marked difficulty gripping, spreading weakness, trouble swallowing, or breathing symptoms. These symptoms need assessment rather than being assumed to be part of normal palm healing.

Ask how palm injections will be made more comfortable, when you can use your hands normally, how weakness will be monitored, and what alternatives exist if sweating returns or the response is incomplete.
