Sub-Dermal Laser Ablation (SDLA) - New! Minimally Invasive Treatment for Armpit Sweating

Introduction


Before & Immediately After SDLA

Axillary osmidrosis, also referred to as bromhidrosis, can be a stressful condition that may lead to tremendous social embarrassment. When conservative treatments such as antiperspirants, medications, and botulinum toxin are only temporarily effective, there is a new surgical treatment. Past surgical treatment options using gland excision or liposuction have a long recovery time and complications that most would consider to be unacceptable for the treatment of underarm sweating and odor. However, a new technique is now being offered by Dr. Nielson called Sub-Dermal Laser Ablation (SDLA).

Symptoms

Apocrine glands dysfunction
