Does hair removal under the armpits at freezing point cause body odor?
Underarm ice point hair removal generally does not cause body odor because it utilizes the principle of laser to destroy hair follicles, thereby achieving the effect of hair removal. Body odor is mainly caused by abnormal secretion of the apocrine glands in the axillary region, and there is no direct relationship between the two.
1. Cause: Underarm ice point hair removal typically utilizes laser energy to penetrate the dermis of the skin, acting on the hair follicle tissue to shrink the follicles and achieve hair removal. Body odor is mainly caused by excessive secretion of the apocrine glands in the axillary region, which is related to genetic factors. Therefore, underarm ice point hair removal does not cause body odor.
2. Symptoms: If a patient has body odor, they may experience a pungent and unpleasant odor in summer, especially after exercise. However, underarm ice point hair removal only removes local hair and does not affect the apocrine glands, nor does it worsen the symptoms of body odor.
3. Treatment: For patients with body odor, it is recommended to use medications such as methenamine solution under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, surgical methods such as apocrine glandectomy can also be used. In daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene, bathe frequently, and change clothes frequently. Additionally, maintain a light diet and consume fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples and tomatoes.
