    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Hircismus (body odor) and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) significantly impact quality of life.
    • Current treatments for these conditions can be invasive or have limited efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel subcutaneous tissue shaver for the radical treatment of hircismus and hyperhidrosis.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this new surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized subcutaneous tissue shaver.
    • Minimally invasive surgical removal of axillary sweat glands via a small incision.
    • Application of the method in 3,000 patient cases.

    Main Results:

    • Successful removal of sweat glands from the undersurface of axillary skin.
    • Postoperative scarring was minimal across all treated patients.
    • Rapid wound healing was consistently observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The subcutaneous tissue shaver provides an effective radical treatment for hircismus and hyperhidrosis.
    • The method demonstrates excellent outcomes with minimal scarring and quick recovery.
    • This innovative device offers a promising solution for managing excessive sweating and body odor.
