What is excessive sweating?

Hyperhidrosis that soaks clothing and affects daily life. Common causes include overactive eccrine sweat glands. Because several factors are often involved at once, Gangnam clinics usually begin with a skin or facial analysis and then combine treatments rather than relying on a single procedure.

Treatments for excessive sweating in Gangnam

• Underarm Sweat Botox – toxin injected into the armpits to reduce heavy sweating (typically ₩300,000–₩700,000; downtime: none)
• Sweat Gland Removal – surgical or suction removal of underarm sweat glands (typically ₩1,500,000–₩4,000,000; downtime: 1-2 weeks)
• MiraDry – a microwave device that permanently reduces underarm sweat and odor glands (typically ₩1,500,000–₩3,000,000; downtime: swelling 1-2 weeks)

How doctors build a plan

A typical plan starts with the least invasive option that matches the cause, then adds stronger treatments if needed. Many visitors combine a device treatment with an injectable on the same day, but your doctor should confirm what can be safely combined and how far apart sessions should be.
