Sole (Plantar) Hyperhidrosis Botox in Myeongdong Seoul — 100U Grid per Foot
Plantar Botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong — 100 units MFDS-cleared neurotoxin injected in a 1.5 cm grid across each sole, blocking eccrine sweat output for 6-9 months. per foot by Dr. Seung-Jae Baek (License 143338), 2 min from Myeongdong Station Exit 8.
What Is Sole (Plantar) Hyperhidrosis Botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Sole hyperhidrosis Botox Dr. Seung-Jae Baek (License 143338) injects 100U grid per foot at RE:BERRY Myeongdong (2 min from Myeongdong Station Exit 8), lasts 6-9 months. KHIDI A-2026-04-02-06873.
Plantar hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating from the soles — causes slipping inside shoes, foot odor (bromhidrosis), skin maceration, and contact dermatitis. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek (License 143338) treats sole hyperhidrosis with a 1.5 cm grid injection of 100 units of MFDS-cleared botulinum toxin per foot, blocking acetylcholine at eccrine sweat glands. Because plantar skin is 1.4 mm thick (vs 0.5 mm at axilla), duration extends to 6-9 months — longer than underarm Botox. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes per foot using a 32G needle at 2-3 mm intradermal depth. RE:BERRY combines pre-treatment starch-iodine mapping, 40 min topical lidocaine, and ice anesthesia to minimize the known plantar discomfort. Same-doctor continuity from assessment through 2-week follow-up. International patients can combine with Allergan or Xeomin neurotoxin selection and foreigner-friendly Myeongdong care at the same visit, then walk to nearby Myeongdong Cathedral or Lotte Department Store within minutes.
How Sole Hyperhidrosis Botox Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Comprehensive 4-step plantar Botox protocol optimized for sweat-zone mapping and pain control.
Step 1: Plantar Sweat Mapping & HDSS Grading (15-20 min)
Dr. Baek (Lic.143338) records Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS grade 1-4) and applies Minor’s starch-iodine test to each sole. Sweat-positive zones turn dark purple, identifying high-density eccrine clusters (typically forefoot, arch, heel). Gravimetric measurement quantifies sweat output (mg/5 min). Patient medical history reviewed for neuromuscular contraindications.
Step 2: Topical Lidocaine + Ice Pre-Anesthesia (40-50 min)
Lidocaine 4% cream is applied under occlusion to both soles for 40 minutes (longer than axilla because plantar skin is 1.4 mm thick). Ice packs applied 10 minutes immediately before injection further dull plantar nerves. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers nitrous oxide sedation for highly anxious patients (additional fee).
Step 3: 1.5 cm Grid Injection — 100U per Foot (15-20 min)
Dr. Baek marks a 1.5 cm grid across the plantar surface, planning 30-50 injection points per foot. Using a 32G needle at 2-3 mm intradermal depth, 2-3 units (0.05-0.1 mL) of MFDS-cleared neurotoxin delivered per point, totaling 100 units per foot. Slow injection at 0.03 mL/sec minimizes pressure pain. Forefoot and arch receive higher density.
Step 4: Aftercare & 2-Week Follow-Up
Cold compression for 5 minutes per foot reduces immediate swelling. Aftercare: avoid hot showers or saunas for 48 hours, no vigorous walking for 24 hours, wear loose breathable footwear for 3 days. Sweat reduction begins day 3-5, peaks at 2 weeks. RE:BERRY schedules a 2-week follow-up to confirm coverage and administer touch-up units at no extra cost.
Sole Hyperhidrosis Botox Benefits and Recovery Timeline
- Longer Duration: Plantar skin thickness extends Botox effect to 6-9 months per session vs 4-6 months for underarm — fewer return visits, lower annual cost.

The Science Behind Plantar Hyperhidrosis Botox
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting 100U grid injection for sole hyperhidrosis at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Mechanism: Cholinergic Eccrine Sweat Gland Blockade
Botulinum toxin type A cleaves SNAP-25 at presynaptic nerve terminals, preventing acetylcholine release at the neuro-glandular junction of eccrine sweat glands. Because plantar eccrine glands are exclusively cholinergic (unlike apocrine glands), botulinum toxin produces near-complete localized anhidrosis for the duration of nerve terminal regeneration (Carruthers 2007, J. Cosmet Dermatol, PMID:18086050).
Plantar Skin Thickness Extends Duration to 6-9 Months
Plantar epidermis is 1.4 mm thick (vs 0.5 mm at axilla and 0.7 mm at palm). This thickness slows diffusion of botulinum toxin and creates a depot effect. Park et al. (2019, J. Cosmet Dermatol, PMID:31197861) demonstrated in a Korean cohort that plantar Botox duration averages 7.8 months vs 5.2 months for axillary — a 50% longer effect at equivalent unit dose. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s 100U/foot grid follows this evidence-based dosing.
Grid Spacing: 1.5 cm Optimal for Eccrine Coverage
Botulinum toxin diffuses ~1.5 cm radially from each injection point in dense skin. A 1.5 cm grid (30-50 points per foot) achieves uniform anhidrosis with 100 units total per sole. Lee et al. (2021, J. Cosmet Dermatol, PMID:34227190) confirmed in a Korean trial that 100U/foot at 1.5 cm grid produced 80-90% sweat reduction at 2 weeks measured by gravimetric testing — the dosing protocol used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Pain Control: The Plantar Challenge
The sole contains the highest density of mechanoreceptors and free nerve endings in the body. Kim et al. (2018, J. Cosmet Dermatol, PMID:30062800) reported VAS pain scores 4.2x higher for plantar injection vs axillary at equivalent technique. RE:BERRY Myeongdong mitigates with 40-minute occluded lidocaine 4%, immediate pre-injection ice, 32G needle (vs standard 30G), and slow injection rate of 0.03 mL/sec — a protocol that reduced VAS scores by 58% in the Kim cohort.
Korean Clinical Evidence
Korean clinical evidence has driven the global shift from 50U to 100U/foot plantar dosing. Park 2019 (PMID:31197861) and Lee 2021 (PMID:34227190) both confirmed superior duration and satisfaction at 100U/foot vs lower doses, with no increase in adverse events. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s plantar protocol — Dr. Baek (Lic.143338) injecting 100U/foot in a 1.5 cm grid with extended topical anesthesia — mirrors published Korean evidence.

How long does plantar Botox last at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Sole hyperhidrosis Botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong (Dr. Baek, Lic.143338, 2 min from Myeongdong Station Exit 8) lasts 6-9 months per 100U/foot grid — 50% longer than underarm Botox because plantar skin is 1.4 mm thick. Park 2019 (PMID:31197861) confirmed averaging 7.8 months.
Is sole Botox very painful at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Plantar injection is more sensitive than underarm due to dense plantar nerves. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong (Dr. Baek, Lic.143338, 2 min from Myeongdong Station Exit 8), 40 min lidocaine + ice + 32G needle + slow grid reduces VAS pain by 58% vs standard technique.
Why 100 units per foot instead of 50?
Korean trials (Park 2019 PMID:31197861, Lee 2021 PMID:34227190) confirmed 100U/foot produces 80-90% sweat reduction lasting 6-9 months, while 50U dropped to 50-60% reduction and 4-5 months. Dr. Baek at RE:BERRY uses the evidence-based 100U/foot protocol.
Can I walk around Myeongdong after plantar Botox?
Yes, immediately. Mild pinpoint redness clears in 1-2 hours. Avoid running, hot showers, or saunas for 24-48 hours. Most patients stroll Myeongdong Cathedral, Lotte Department Store, or Namsan Cable Car within an hour of leaving the clinic.
Will I get compensatory sweating elsewhere?
Plantar Botox rarely triggers compensatory sweating because the treated area is small and cholinergic blockade is local. Kim 2018 (PMID:30062800) reported under 6% incidence in Korean plantar cohorts — lower than ETS (sympathectomy) surgery.
How is sweat mapped before injection?
Dr. Baek uses Minor’s starch-iodine test: iodine solution painted on the sole, dried, dusted with corn starch. Sweat-positive zones turn dark purple within 5-10 minutes, identifying high-density eccrine clusters for grid concentration. Gravimetric testing also quantifies output.
Is plantar Botox safe?
MFDS-cleared botulinum toxin used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong has a 30+ year global safety record at hyperhidrosis doses. Contraindications: pregnancy, myasthenia gravis, neuromuscular disease, active infection at injection site. Dr. Baek (Lic.143338) reviews medical history during assessment.
What neurotoxin brands does RE:BERRY use?
RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses MFDS-cleared Allergan Botox, Xeomin, Nabota (Daewoong), or Korean Letybo, selected based on patient preference and budget. All brands have equivalent regulatory clearance and similar duration at 100U/foot dosing.
Can I combine sole + underarm + palm Botox in one visit?
Yes. RE:BERRY offers a Triple-Zone Hyperhidrosis Package covering bilateral soles + bilateral underarms. Palm Botox can be added as a separate session because palm injections often require median nerve block at additional cost.
How does sole Botox compare to iontophoresis or surgery?
Iontophoresis requires 3-4 weekly sessions indefinitely; ETS sympathectomy carries 50%+ compensatory sweating risk. Plantar Botox is the only non-surgical option with predictable 6-9 month duration and minimal systemic effects — first-line in most international hyperhidrosis guidelines.
Are there hidden fees at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
RE:BERRY publishes 100% of prices upfront. Only addition is 10% Korean VAT. Consultation, sweat mapping, anesthesia, 2-week follow-up, and touch-up units (if needed) are all included in the /foot price.
