Does Sweaty Underarms Make You Uneasy? Now, Help Is At Hand

Are sweaty underarms making you stay away from parties or meetings? Well, take heart, for help is at hand. A laser treatment can help you.

Surgeons have developed an 8,000-pound, hour-long procedure that burns away the sweat glands beneath the skin.

Ladies Are Really Good At Sniffing Out Men's Underarm Sweat
A new study has says, ladies are really good at sniffing out biologically-relevant information from males' underarm sweat. So don't go overboard with the deodorant if you're meeting a woman.

The procedure called Laser Sweat Ablation (LSA) uses a laser to conduct the process.

Argentinian plastic surgeon Guillermo Blugerman claims to have pioneered the procedure and successfully treated 400 people in South America.

"We developed the method for people who suffer from excessive perspiration. For those affected, it ruins their lives. But this procedure changes all that," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted the expert, as saying.

New Deodorant Promises To Reduce Underarm Hair Growth
Cosmetic giant, Unilever, is set to launch a deodorant which will not only leave you with a lasting fragrance, but would also potentially reduce the growth of underarm hair.

Before LSA, people used Botox injections as a temporary measure to keep sweating at bay.

In LSA, the armpit is first coated with iodine and a starch is applied to locate the glands. The patient is given a local anesthetic before a three-millimetre incision is made. A surgical laser then burns away the gland.

60-minute Laser Operation Would End Stinky Armpit Sweat
British surgeons are offering to permanently treat excessive armpit perspiration with the aid of a new 60-minute Laser Sweat Ablation, which will cost around 3,500 pounds.

The procedure allows patients to resume normal activities the same day.

Blugerman says patients experienced "minor problems" in a handful of cases.

"There is potential for liquid to accumulate in the area treated but this is not a major complication and can be solved quickly. You have to remember this is a very superficial procedure. The sweat gland sits just below the skin. We remove this tissue. The result is we are able to reduce perspiration in this area for 80 per cent [of patients]," the expert added.
