Bromhidrosis Cures: Laser, Botox, Surgery, Natural Remedies

What is bromidrosis?

Bromhidrosis is a chronic disorder, characterized by the bad smell of the skin due to the organic decomposition of eccrine and / or apocrine sweat by the bacterial flora, and the maceration of keratinocyte derivative products.

Several "conservative" (non-invasive) methods allow for the treatment of unpleasant body odor (see in-depth article). However, they do not offer a definitive cure and the results may be unsatisfactory if odor reduction is incomplete and short-lived. For patients who want longer-lasting treatment, some non-surgical options can be used.

Laser therapy

The presence of hair on the skin surface helps to keep excess sweat where it is produced. To achieve lasting results, many people undergo laser therapy to remove hair, limit bacterial growth and avoid bad odor.
An example of effective laser treatment in axillary bromhidrosis uses Nd: YAG (Q-Switched Nd: YAG laser, with frequency doublers) technologies.
