Reading Time: <1 minuteWhen consulting for treatment of armpit bloating and hyperhidrosis, there are many patients who are concerned about the smell of the areola area.
Areola armpit (chichiga)
Most patients suffer from body odor, but because the area from which the odor comes is small, it is often not of much concern to others or to the patient themselves. In reality, the absolute number of treatments is small, and the ratio of patients who receive treatment with body odor is less than one in ten. However, there are many patients who suddenly become concerned about the odor due to their partner's comments or hormonal imbalance and come to consult us. In the past, treatments for the odor of this area, known as breast odor, breast odor, and areola odor, were difficult surgically and rarely performed, but nowadays, non-invasive treatments such as MiraDry, Viewhot, BOTOX injection, and EL method, which do not use a scalpel, are the main treatments. However, the only treatment that can be expected to have permanent effects and can be performed without any downtime is the EL method. The odor of the areola is most often generated from the pores of the skin at the edge of the areola rather than the nipple or areola. This is because the apocrine sweat glands are located in line with the pores, so the area of ​​the downy hair is also the point where the odor originates. Substances secreted from apocrine sweat glands are broken down by bacteria resident on the skin, resulting in body odor. The EL method, which selectively suppresses damage to the skin in this area, is the best treatment method that can be expected to have a definite effect and does not leave scars. The treatment time is about 5 minutes per side, and there is no pain after the procedure. You can take a bath on the day of the procedure, and there are no restrictions on your daily life, so it is a treatment that can be performed safely.
