Three Core Strengths

Three Core Strengths of Odor & Sweat Care

Rotary-Blade Removal

For odor, a rotary blade treats the apocrine glands at the source through minimal incisions.

Multi-Site Specialty

From axilla, areola, and perineum to palmar sweating — each site has its own approach.

Gentle Pain Relief

No general anesthesia — gentle pain relief substantially reduces discomfort.

Quick Answer

What types of body odor and sweating are there, and which can be treated?

Odor and sweating can occur alone or together. We sort them by site and cause into six areas — axillary, areola, perineal and pediatric odor, plus hyperhidrosis and palm/foot sweating. Underarm, areola and pediatric odor use minimally invasive rotational curettage to remove apocrine glands; perineal and body sweating use non-invasive thermolysis; sweaty palms use a gentle nerve-block low-pain Botox — after an iodine-starch test locates the glands.

Find the Source → Match the Care

Not sure where the odor is coming from?

Body odor often has more than one source and is hard to pin down yourself. The Odor Source Finder helps you locate it step by step. If it traces to an underarm, areola, perineal or pediatric odor — or excessive sweating — that surgery can improve, we can then assess the right approach for you.
