Let's Get to the Root Cause of Sweat Odor, Underarm Hyperhidrosis, and Body Odor

Kim Heon-gon Plastic Surgery Body Odor Clinic

Hello, everyone^^

This is Kim Heon-gon Plastic Surgery Body Odor Clinic, where a board-certified plastic surgeon with 20 years of experience in treating body odor and hyperhidrosis is on staff.

Sweat odor, underarm hyperhidrosis, and body odor are all conditions related to the underarm area, but each has different causes and symptoms.

First, sweat odor is a condition in which excessive sweating and an unpleasant odor occur in the underarm area.

This happens when sweat secreted by apocrine glands combines with bacteria, and it mainly appears in adults after puberty.

Underarm hyperhidrosis is a condition in which excessive sweating occurs in the underarm area, and it often develops without any specific cause. Symptoms may worsen when you are nervous or stressed, or due to hot weather or exercise.

On the other hand, body odor is a condition in which an unpleasant smell occurs in the underarm area, and like sweat odor, it is caused by sweat secreted from apocrine glands and bacteria.

Unlike sweat odor, body odor can occur regardless of the amount of sweat produced, and it is known that genetic factors play a major role.

These conditions not only cause inconvenience in daily life, but can also affect personal relationships, so active treatment is needed. SIT surgery is drawing attention as one method that can treat these conditions at the root.

Patients with body odor often have difficulties in social life because of the strong smell. As a result, they may struggle with relationships at work or school, or experience reduced confidence, which can lead to psychological issues such as depression.

In particular, body odor can be a major source of stress for sensitive teenagers going through puberty. It can make it difficult to get along with friends or to focus on studies, so active treatment is necessary.

SIT surgery is a patented surgery that uses a minimally invasive micro AST device and can improve both body odor and hyperhidrosis at the same time.

Unlike conventional incision surgery, this operation removes sweat glands using a thin tube of about 3 mm, and because it causes less skin damage, recovery is faster and the recurrence rate is lower.

Because the skin is not incised, there is almost no scarring, and there is no need to wear a compression bandage, so returning to daily life is quick. Also, because the procedure is performed after nerve anesthesia, there is less pain and almost no side effects.

If you are still struggling to find the right treatment for sweat odor, why not consider undergoing SIT surgery this time?
