APEX Osmidrosis Treatment By destroying the apocrine glands that cause osmidrosis, we resolve the sweating and odor concerns you would rather keep hidden. Address the root cause and leave odor worries behind! Osmidrosis refers to the unpleasant odor that arises when sweat from the underarms is broken down by bacteria on the skin. Sweat glands are broadly divided into eccrine and apocrine glands; the apocrine glands are the cause of osmidrosis, and the fatty acids formed during bacterial breakdown can make the odor even stronger. The apocrine glands can be treated surgically with an incisional technique or with suction using a cannula, helping you move past the self-consciousness and the limitations on daily life that osmidrosis brings. Osmidrosis makes you want to hide and hold back - resolve it at its root! With a tailored procedure, leave sweat and odor worries behind for good! APEX's osmidrosis surgery addresses the cause of osmidrosis, easing the discomfort that excessive sweating and unpleasant odor bring to daily life and helping you regain your confidence. It offers permanent results rather than a temporary improvement.

Prologue

Osmidrosis is the condition in which sweat from the underarms is broken down by bacteria on the skin, producing an unpleasant odor. Sweat glands are broadly divided into eccrine and apocrine glands; the apocrine glands are the cause of osmidrosis, and as bacteria break them down, fatty acids form that can produce an even stronger odor. The apocrine glands can be treated surgically, either with an incision technique or with cannula-assisted suction, freeing you from self-consciousness and restrictions in daily life.

Surgery

APEX Osmidrosis Surgical Method

How is APEX osmidrosis surgery performed?

A method of suction through a small opening

A micro-incision is made in the armpit and a thin cannula suctions out the apocrine glands that cause osmidrosis.
Micro-incisions reduce scarring, with less bleeding and pain, allowing a faster recovery.

  1. Before surgery

    Anesthesia is administered, and
    The surgical site is marked.

  2. Sweat glands suctioned with a thin cannula

    Through a thin cannula
    Apocrine sweat glands are suctioned.

  3. After surgery

    by suctioning the apocrine glands
    Osmidrosis is improved.

A method that fully removes the sweat glands via an incision

It is a surgical method that incises along the underarm crease and removes the sweat glands beneath the skin with a cannula.
Direct removal lowers the chance of osmidrosis recurring, and the minimal incision eases the burden of scarring.

  1. Before surgery

    Anesthesia is administered, and
    The surgical site is marked.

  2. Sweat glands removed via an incision

    Through an axillary incision
    The sweat glands are removed directly.

  3. After surgery

    by removing the apocrine glands,
    Osmidrosis improves.
