Introduction
Methods for treating body odor: Effectively eliminating odor by inhibiting apocrine gland secretion and bacterial fermentation, although this does not achieve a permanent cure. Laser treatment: Using laser technology to destroy apocrine glands has certain effectiveness, but lacks precision and is prone to recurrence. Removal of sweat glands from the skin: This is a commonly used surgical technique in general surgery, involving complete removal of sweat glands from the underarm skin, offering reliable results.
In today's society, a significant number of people suffer from body odor, which can lead to feelings of inferiority. This condition is mostly caused by genetic factors. How can body odor be completely eliminated?
How to permanently eliminate body odor
Methods for treating body odor: It is possible to effectively reduce odor by inhibiting secretion from apocrine glands and preventing bacterial fermentation, but such methods cannot achieve a permanent cure. Laser therapy: Using laser technology to destroy apocrine glands has certain effects, but the treatment lacks precision and recurrence is common.
Surgical removal of sweat glands: This is a commonly used technique in general surgery, involving complete removal of sweat glands from the underarm skin, offering reliable results. However, the disadvantages include excessive tissue damage leading to local skin defects. Due to high skin tension during suturing, mobility of both upper limbs may become restricted. Large surgical scars are likely, affecting upper limb function, especially in individuals with a predisposition to keloid scarring, for whom this method is not recommended.
Minimally invasive radical surgery: Through incisions of about 2 cm on each side, apocrine glands are completely removed under direct visualization. This method offers reliable, thorough treatment with minimal trauma and no recurrence. Postoperative dressing must be performed under a doctor’s guidance. There have been promotional claims about "non-invasive radical cures" using openings as small as a grain of rice, along with various other marketed techniques. Many of these procedures are performed blindly (without direct visualization), resulting in numerous complications and unreliable outcomes. These approaches are no longer recommended in clinical practice. We hope this information helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
