Reading Time: <1 minuteMore and more patients are coming to our clinic hoping for the EL method for underarm odor treatment. As a rule, we conduct blood tests before EL method treatment. This is to check for patients who are virus carriers such as hepatitis B, and to screen for general health such as diabetes, liver dysfunction, and blood diseases. Checking for hepatitis B virus carriers is essential to prevent hospital infection, but most beauty clinics do not seem to take the minimum amount of testing or infection prevention measures. At our clinic, we take care of everything so that patients can receive treatment with peace of mind. Director Suetake will be in charge of all blood sampling and explanations. We do not perform any medical procedures that are left to nurses. We thoroughly manage the hygienic environment in the clinic, pain management for patients during treatment, etc.

Reading Time: <1 minuteToday, we had a patient who came to our clinic for a follow-up treatment after MiraDry treatment because it had no effect at all. The advertisements say that it is extremely effective with little pain... Of all the treatments, any sensible doctor knows that MiraDry causes the most pain and swelling after treatment. As a specialist who has been treating body odor and hyperhidrosis for over 30 years, I can say with certainty that it is absolutely impossible for MiraDry treatment to cause little pain. Surgery may seem painful after surgery, but it is not. The pain is definitely much stronger after MiraDry treatment. The reason is that MiraDry causes burns to the skin of the treatment area due to thermal energy. The pain of a burn is much stronger than the pain of an incision and lasts for a long time. It is common knowledge in medicine that burns are painful. Some doctors who say that MiraDry treatment is painless or painless leave all the treatment to the nurses and do not listen to the patient's complaints at all. I do not consider MiraDry to be suitable for children who are sensitive to pain. Severe swelling and pain may last for more than a week. The EL method does not cause severe pain or swelling, and there is no need for oral painkillers. MiraDry retreatment is performed on burn scars, so it is actually time-consuming and difficult. The skin itself has hardened due to burn scars, so local anesthesia is not easy. Local anesthesia for the armpits, which can be performed almost painlessly, does hurt to some extent. I always think, and patients tell me, that I wish I had known about the EL method before undergoing MiraDry... I ended up going through a lot of pain with MiraDry treatment, having to pay a huge amount of money multiple times, and it was completely ineffective...without any explanation or examination from the doctor... It is unfortunate that there are medical institutions that use exaggerated advertising to attract customers by lying about even the downtime. Dr. Suetake / Armpit Odor Specialist / Sakae Clinic (@wakiga.takansyou.suetake) | TikTok We also explain it on TikTok.

Reading Time: <1 minuteWe have been introducing problems and complaints from patients regarding MiraDry treatment, but the number has increased sharply recently. [Never receive MiraDry treatment by a nurse.] After receiving MiraDry treatment by a nurse twice, the scars from the burns remain and the pain has returned to normal despite suffering for a long time from the intense pain. The patient came to see us, so we asked for more details. The person who seemed to be a doctor only explained that he would administer the anesthesia, but did not provide any explanation about armpit odor, armpit odor treatment, or MiraDry. The nurse immediately performed the treatment. The reasons why we absolutely do not recommend nurse treatment are: 2. There are no nurses who have experience in the mechanism and theory of armpit odor or treatment (because they cannot perform surgery) XNUMX. Nurses cannot be held responsible XNUMX. You will not know if you will get a burn from MiraDry XNUMX. Only doctors can directly perform the treatment, it is a gray area that is close to being illegal XNUMX. The manufacturer should not recommend nurse treatment XNUMX. Ethical issues Why is it a nurse treatment? XNUMX: Profit is the priority (nurses' hourly wages are low, so profits can be made) XNUMX: There is a possibility that treatments can be performed even without a doctor in the clinic (illegal act) XNUMX: Price competition allows for cheap customer attraction In other words, there are benefits for the clinic, but no benefits for the patient. There are too many facilities where doctors who have never treated or operated on armpit odor before have no knowledge of the mechanism of armpit odor or medical knowledge, and only introduce the equipment and have nurses perform the treatment without explanation. The dark side of cosmetic medicine has now become the dark side of the MiraDry business. If you are a doctor or nurse at a clinic where nurses perform MiraDry treatments and have any objections to this blog post, please let's have an open discussion. If you are going to treat patients with the patient in mind, wouldn't it be better for a specialist who is familiar with all armpit odor treatments to guarantee safety and effectiveness? It is also a problem that MiraDry is the most painful treatment of all treatments, and patients are not properly informed before the treatment. Don't be fooled by the MiraDry business. *I am not denying all MiraDry treatments. We believe that problems include performing treatments on areas where the treatment is not suitable, nurses performing MiraDry treatments without a doctor's examination, and exploiting patients by forcing them to take out loans to cover expensive treatment costs through upselling that is completely different from what is advertised.

Reading Time: <1 minuteRecently, clinics that attract customers by selling low prices such as "Armpit Odor Surgery Insurance Coverage MiraDry 90,000 yen" have become more prominent in online advertisements. From the patient's perspective, it is undoubtedly a very good thing to be able to receive treatment at a low price. However, the result is... First of all, the current situation is that medical institutions that attract customers by advertising that they will perform surgery with insurance do not perform surgery with insurance, and instead direct patients to self-paid optical treatment. With the advances in medicine, any specialist who treats armpit odour will know how nonsensical it is to treat armpit odour in an outpatient setting with insurance. Long-term downtime and fixation required Risk of hematoma and skin necrosis Ineffective recurrence, etc. I can say with certainty that there are few benefits to outpatient armpit odour surgery and that it is a treatment that is absolutely not recommended. It is no longer Showa or Heisei, but Reiwa. Should I perform armpit odour surgery in an outpatient setting with insurance as a treatment in the Reiwa era? If there are any doctors who think that this is a really good option, please contact me directly. MiraDry This treatment is also currently performed by nurses in most medical institutions. Are there really patients who want to be treated by a nurse? Just buy the equipment and leave everything to the nurse. The counselor does the examination and counseling. The treatment is done by a nurse, not a doctor. It's no longer medical care. MiraDry has become a business-first business for armpit odor. Safety and effectiveness are ignored. It is no longer medical care that is patient-centered. If there are any doctors or nurses who think that the MiraDry treatment I use, performed by a nurse, is a legitimate medical procedure and medical ethics, please contact me directly at contact@sakae-clinic.com. We will also organize a live discussion session with you in person. MiraDry has a lot of downtime and pain. Is it such a careless treatment that a nurse can do it on the side? There is a constant stream of patients who come to our clinic to ask for retreatment after they have had no effect from MiraDry. [Please be careful of MiraDry treatment performed by nurses]  

Reading Time: <1 minuteIt's like a rip-off bar. https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/articles/-/1258772 Finally, the government is considering how to crack down on cosmetic medical troubles and unscrupulous cosmetic clinics. There are many patients who come to our clinic for consultation after receiving terrible medical treatments and treatments that seem to be criminal acts. Cosmetic medical business, armpit business, MiraDry business... In advertisements, they use bait advertising to attract patients at low prices and upsell them. This is especially noticeable in armpit treatment. Armpit surgery can be performed with insurance MiraDry is cheap... In reality, they force you to take out expensive medical treatment and get you to take out a medical loan. There is no doctor's examination, and the consultation, explanation, and closing are done by unqualified counselors. Moreover, MiraDry is not performed by a doctor at all, and all treatments are done by nurses. The director of the clinic that performs MiraDry has never had any experience with armpit surgery or treatment. This situation has been allowed to continue unchecked. The medical procedure of nurses administering MiraDry is not proper, and it is unlikely that effectiveness or safety can be guaranteed when administered by nurses. Treatment should always be performed by a specialist. This is the dark side of cosmetic medicine, where common sense does not apply. Prices are also far from what is advertised. In reality, cosmetic clinics that are worse than rip-off bars attract customers with fake advertisements and become victims every day. This is a tactic that takes advantage of people's complexes that make it difficult to make complaints. If you have been a victim, we will provide you with advice, including medical treatment. Please feel free to contact us.    

Reading Time: <1 minuteWe are receiving more and more consultations about breast odor, also known as breast odor, breast odor, and areola odor. Some people with a body odor constitution have a lot of apocrine sweat glands in the chest, especially in the skin around the areola, and some people are concerned about the odor. There are more apocrine sweat glands in the skin around the areola than in the brown areola and nipple, so treatment targets this area. It is an area where surgery cannot be performed and has been said to be impossible and difficult to treat, but now, with a treatment called the EL method, it can be completely cured without leaving any scars and with almost no downtime. There are facilities that perform a treatment called MiraDry on breast odor, but you should never receive it. It is a sensitive area and you will be in extreme pain after surgery. There is a high risk of burns. There is almost no effect. MiraDry itself should not be applied to the areola. Of course, even though it is a medically approved device by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, it is not applicable to the areola. Moreover, there are facilities where nurses perform the treatment, so be careful. It is questionable whether MiraDry treatment can be performed with safety guaranteed and effectiveness guaranteed when performed by a nurse. We promise that the EL method, which involves inserting special thin needles into the skin around the areola and destroying the apocrine sweat glands one by one with pinpoint precision to permanently eliminate odor, is the only method that can be expected to permanently and safely cure nipple odor, nipple armpit odor, and nipple armpit odor.  

Reading Time: <1 minuteThere are many patients who are troubled by the odor of the delicate zone. It is a disease called groin gas or groin wakiga. There is a genetic tendency, and many people with wakiga may have groin gas or groin wakiga. Sometimes people do not notice their own odor due to individual differences and the lower body. However, in recent years, this treatment has been established and it is now possible to treat with no downtime and almost no pain. This treatment is called the EL method. A special needle is inserted into the pores and the sweat glands are destroyed with high-frequency heat energy. You will be permanently free from odor problems. As for MiraDry, not only is it not suitable for use, but there are many cases where it has caused severe burns and severe pain for a long time, but it has been completely ineffective, so it is a treatment that is absolutely not recommended. We receive many consultations from patients with odor in the delicate zone, and there are many patients who have received MiraDry and regret it. Never receive MiraDry on the delicate zone. Not only is it ineffective, but there is a very high possibility that you will suffer from burns and severe pain. Medical institutions that perform MiraDry on sensitive areas should be careful.

Reading Time: <1 minuteWe receive many inquiries asking where else the EL method can be used to treat underarm odor. Unfortunately, we are the only clinic that currently offers the EL method performed by a specialist. The reasons are as follows: 1: It is extremely difficult to master the technique. 2: It takes a long time to master the technique, so many doctors give up even after coming for training. 3: It takes a long time to become proficient, and if you are not proficient, the treatment time is long, more than an hour for one armpit. 4: If the treatment is not performed by an experienced specialist, many insulated needles are needed for one patient, so the treatment cost is not worth it. 5: The treatment cost is low compared to the labor and treatment time. 6: The spread of low-quality medical care performed by nurses such as MiraDry. 7: The skills of cosmetic surgeons are declining. 8: It is difficult to implement SNS strategies. 9: It is difficult to standardize and educate at major cosmetic surgery clinics. 10: Lack of instructors. 11: Lack of awareness compared to MiraDry. The recent trend in cosmetic surgery is to leave it to nurses even if you have no experience, so the EL method will not spread in the first place. The EL method is the least painful of all underarm odor treatments, has no risks, no downtime, is highly effective, and is a good treatment that puts less strain on patients. It's unfortunate...

Reading Time: <1 minuteI have previously written about anesthesia for underarm odor in a blog. When treating underarm odor, it is essential to inform patients about the risks of anesthesia. However, it seems that almost all medical institutions do not inform patients about the risks of local anesthesia. https://www.kin-ikyo-chuo.jp/files/resident/senior/program-anesth Many doctors are unaware of the risks of the local anesthetic xylocaine. As shown in the table above, if 10cc of 2% xylocaine is rapidly injected into the body as an anesthetic, it will exceed the maximum dose and may even be life-threatening. In fact, a tragic fatal accident occurred at a certain cosmetic surgery clinic, where an inexperienced cosmetic surgeon administered a local anesthetic to a female patient in her 20s before surgery for underarm odor, resulting in her death. Fatal accidents from local anesthetics? It is not impossible. Recently, young cosmetic surgeons have become charismatic on social media, and cosmetic surgeons with very little experience and knowledge are overconfident in treating patients without receiving education on these risks. At our hospital, we currently mix our own anesthetics by adjusting the concentration of xylocaine to 0.17% or less, mixing it with the alkaline drug meiron to adjust the pH and suppress pain during pain. With MiraDry, it is not uncommon to administer more than 20cc to one armpit, and if 2% xylocaine is used on both armpits, it can be life-threatening... It is not true that it is safe because it is a famous cosmetic surgery clinic, or that anesthesia is safe because it is a doctor. Local anesthesia is a very scary medical procedure performed by a cosmetic surgeon who calls himself the director and has almost no medical or surgical knowledge, without considering the risks. Moreover, after the anesthetic injection is completed, the MiraDry treatment is left entirely to the nurses, and there are cases where the nurses do not notice any abnormal symptoms due to xylocaine poisoning after anesthesia. Of course, the nurses have no knowledge or experience in this field. If such risky medical procedures are performed with profit as the priority, the patient's life will be threatened. I would like patients to know that local anesthesia also carries significant risks before treatment.  

Reading Time: <1 minuteThe topical medication for underarm odor has an odor-reducing effect, as it contains ingredients that suppress the bacteria called acne bacteria, which breaks down the substances that cause odor. It is a wonderful topical medication that is sure to be effective and has no side effects, and we prescribe it to many patients at our clinic. Topical medicines are ideal when you want to suppress odor before puberty or before undergoing surgical treatment, miraDry, EL method, etc. When young children start to worry about odor, other treatments are difficult to choose, so topical medications are often recommended. On the other hand, even for adults, if the symptoms are not severe, topical medications can be sufficient to control odor.
