Botox, Palmar Hyperhidrosis and Atrophy of Hand Muscles An article published in the Journal of Plastic Reconstructive Aesthetic Surgery (June 2008) reports a case of an individual with hyperhidrosis of the palms who had Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) injected – this treated the hyperhidrosis but was associated with the development of severe atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hands. Although hyperhidrosis of the hands has been shown to be effectively treated with Botox injections, such atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand have not been reported to date.
