Reading Time: <1 minuteThere is a cosmetic surgery clinic that advertises that it cures underarm odor with lasers to attract patients. I can assure you that underarm odor cannot be cured with laser treatment. This is an outrageous fraudulent advertisement, even more malicious than the underarm odor treatment with MiraDry, and it is not only a violation of medical ethics, but can be said to be a complete fraudulent advertisement. I have re-treated patients who were deceived by this clinic and had no effect. Underarm odor cannot be cured with lasers? Why? This is a theory that any doctor can understand, and such a lie would be laughed at by fellow doctors. Lasers are beams of light with various single wavelengths that are absorbed by melanin, red blood cells, and water present in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Using this principle, they are used to treat age spots, birthmarks, moles, and hemangiomas. Lasers penetrate only to the epidermis or dermis, and it is common medical knowledge that they cannot reach the subcutaneous tissue where the apocrine sweat glands that cause underarm odor are located. The principle of treating body odor is to destroy the apocrine sweat glands, so it is natural that treatment cannot be performed unless the light energy reaches the apocrine sweat glands. There is also a fraudulent cosmetic surgery clinic in Nagoya that advertises that it treats body odor with lasers to attract customers. The malicious thing about this clinic is not only the false advertising, but also that the treatment is performed by a nurse, not a doctor. A nurse treats body odor with a laser... Of course, this has not been presented at academic conferences, and if body odor can really be easily cured with a laser, I would become an apprentice to the doctor at that clinic. This is a malicious way of attracting customers that targets patients who are not well-informed. If body odor can really be cured with a laser, it would be a groundbreaking discovery for humanity that would be worthy of a Nobel Prize. However, I have never heard of such medical information anywhere other than this clinic. In this way, all kinds of exaggerated and false advertising methods are used to attract customers with body odor. Please do not be fooled.
