Sweaty hands and feet, known as palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis, are conditions characterized by excessive perspiration in the palms and soles. This condition affects approximately 2.8% of the U.S. population, making daily activities such as shaking hands, writing, or wearing open-toed shoes difficult and uncomfortable [International Hyperhidrosis Society].
Unlike sweating triggered by heat or physical exertion, hyperhidrosis occurs regardless of temperature or activity level, leading to persistent dampness, skin irritation, and social discomfort. Many individuals struggle to find an effective treatment, as over-the-counter antiperspirants and oral medications often provide limited or short-term relief.
AMG Plastic Surgery and Daxxify have been a wonderful blessing for me and my struggle with sweating! I used to ruin many favorite tops – feeling uncomfortable at work, during those cozy TV moments at home, or while playing with my kids. But then I met Dr. Ghaznavi and his fantastic team! They took great care of me and ensured the procedure was as easy as possible. Within 48 hours, I was living life dry and happy at work and home! Now, I can confidently raise my hand in any t-shirt or tank top without worrying about sweat stains. I’m so grateful for this change and for the boost in my confidence! Thank you!
Daxxify: An Innovative Solution for Sweaty Hands and Feet
Daxxify, an FDA-approved neuromodulator, is a non-surgical, long-lasting treatment that significantly reduces excessive sweating in the hands and feet. By temporarily blocking the nerve signals that overactivate the sweat glands, Daxxify provides relief for up to six months, nearly doubling the duration of traditional treatments like Botox.
How Daxxify Works for Palmar and Plantar Hyperhidrosis
Daxxify is injected into the affected areas, specifically targeting the sweat glands responsible for excessive perspiration. The procedure is:
Quick
The treatment session lasts 20–30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Minimally Invasive
A series of small injections are administered with minimal discomfort using a topical anesthetic if needed.
Long-Lasting
Results can be seen within 48 hours, with full effects appearing within one to two weeks and lasting six to nine months.
Benefits of Daxxify for Sweaty Hands and Feet
Extended Duration
Provides nearly twice the longevity of traditional neuromodulators.
Improved Grip and Comfort
Reduces excessive moisture in the hands, allowing for better grip during work and social interactions.
Reduced Foot Odor and Skin Irritation
Helps prevent fungal infections and discomfort caused by excessive sweating in shoes.
No Daily Maintenance
Unlike topical antiperspirants, one treatment provides months of relief.
What to Expect During Treatment
1. Consultation and Assessment
At AMG Plastic Surgery in Reston, VA, Dr. Amir Mahan Ghaznavi, a dual board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, will assess your symptoms and determine if Daxxify is the best treatment option for your hyperhidrosis.
2. Treatment Session
The procedure involves a series of small injections into the palms or soles. For palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty hands), a numbing agent may be used to minimize discomfort. For plantar hyperhidrosis (sweaty feet), additional anesthetic options may be discussed due to increased sensitivity in this area.
3. Post-Treatment and Results
Most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Sweating reduction typically begins within two to five days, with maximum results appearing within one to two weeks.
