Extract apocrine glands using a drainage tube to suppress sweat glands and reduce sweating.
Human sweat glands are categorized into apocrine glands and
eccrine glands.
The primary cause of body odor is the apocrine glands in the
underarms, which secrete a thicker, odorless fluid.
This secretion contains fats and proteins that, when fermented by
bacteria on the skin surface,
result in unpleasant odors commonly referred to as "body
odor."
To address body odor, it's essential to treat the apocrine
glands.
Since apocrine glands are surrounded by fat,
VASER liposuction technology
can emulsify fat cells and then remove the apocrine glands via
suction.
The surgical incision is only 0.5 cm, preserving the integrity
of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues.
1-Minute Test
Body Odor Levels
Level 0: After intense physical activity, the body sweats normally, but no odor is detected under the arms.
Level 1: A slight odor from the underarms can be detected after intense physical activity. This can be improved through lifestyle changes or the use of antiperspirants.
Level 2: During normal daily activities, a strong odor is noticeable within a 1.5-meter range.
Level 3: Even without physical activity, a strong odor is noticeable, detectable from over 1.5 meters away.
For level 2 and level 3 hyperhidrosis, liposuction treatment is recommended to achieve a permanent improvement.

NAISS CLINIC boasts a professional air shower room. Before surgery, the medical team must pass through this room, where high-speed, powerful clean air rapidly removes dust, hair, and other particles from the sterile clothing. It also features an Air Lock mechanism, allowing only one-way traffic through the entrance and exit, reducing the risk of post-operative infections.

VASER Body Odor Surgery Precautions
- Avoid taking aspirin-containing or anticoagulant medications, including Vitamin E, for 2 weeks before surgery to prevent hematoma or significant bruising.
- Refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol before the surgery to prevent blood vessel constriction and reduced blood flow.
- Do not eat or drink (including water) for 8 hours prior to the surgery.
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 4 weeks after surgery.
- Wear compression garments for 1 month after surgery to reduce swelling and avoid heavy lifting.

FAQ
About VASER Body Odor Surgery
Body odor surgery primarily removes apocrine glands. If any apocrine gland tissues remain, there may still be a slight odor. However, VASER surgery thoroughly destroys the apocrine glands using ultrasound, making recurrence unlikely.
Non-invasive methods, such as Botox injections, suppress sweat gland secretion but only last about six months and require regular follow-ups. Surgery, on the other hand, directly removes apocrine glands in a single procedure, offering significantly better results than non-invasive treatments.
While you can resume daily activities shortly after surgery, it is recommended to rest for a few days and avoid overusing your arms. For example, avoid lifting arms above shoulder height or holding onto bus straps. The wound will take about two weeks to heal, and continued massage after suture removal can help reduce scarring and tightness.
