Underarm Botox in Gangnam, Seoul
Fine injections that switch off overactive underarm sweat glands for months — a quick, no-downtime option you can fit into a single afternoon in Seoul.
What is underarm Botox?
Underarm Botox is a treatment for excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) in which small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected just under the skin. It temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, reducing sweating for about 4–6 months without surgery or downtime. Sweat reduction begins within 3–7 days, with the full effect at about 2 weeks.
It is a good first step or a way to test how life feels with dry underarms. Patients who want a longer-lasting result often move on to miraDry.

Underarm Botox questions we hear most
Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.
How long does underarm Botox last?
Usually about 4–6 months, sometimes longer. Sweating returns gradually as nerve signals recover, and a repeat session restores the effect.
Does underarm Botox hurt?
Numbing cream is applied first and very fine needles are used, so most people feel only small pinpricks. The session takes about 20–30 minutes.
Is it safe to stop sweating under the arms?
Yes. The underarms account for only a small proportion of body sweat, so blocking them does not affect your ability to regulate temperature.
Does it also help with odour?
It can reduce odour because there is less sweat for bacteria to break down, but odour glands are not removed. For odour see armpit odour treatments.
Should I choose Botox or miraDry?
Botox suits people wanting a quick, temporary result; miraDry suits those who want a long-lasting result in usually one session. Many start with Botox and later switch.
