Non surgical method:

810 nm diode laser is a non- invasive procedure and multiple sessions are needed on a
monthly basis. The patient feels comfortable with advanced equipments incorporating
cooling systems and in-motion technology. No pain or discomfort is felt either during or
after the procedure. There is no need for any local anesthetic.

Surgical method:

3 mm incision under local anesthesia is made after surgical disinfection and sterile draping. After infiltration with Tumescent Anaesthetic and criss- cross movements of the laser fibre, the sweat glands and associated hair follicles in the dermis layer that cause the classical symptoms of excessive sweating and odor are suctioned out. It’s a day care procedure.
