By blocking the signals that reach the sweat glands in the hand, it reduces sweating and offers noticeable social relief for around 6 months. Being non-surgical and easy to repeat are its main advantages.
The Botox preparation used for hand sweating is the same one used for facial Botox. At the injection site it blocks the release of acetylcholine, the nerve messenger that triggers sweating, so the eccrine (sweat) glands produce less sweat. The effect is limited to the sweat glands and does not cause numbness in the hand.
