Bromohidrosis
Body odour treated at its bacterial and glandular source.
Bromohidrosis is persistent body odour produced when bacteria break down apocrine sweat. It is not a matter of washing more often — the interaction between gland output and skin flora is the cause.

- 6–9 mo

- Combined
- Approach
- Neuromodulator injection
- Topical antimicrobial therapy
- Antiseptic washes
- Laser reduction of apocrine glands
Diagnosed first, treated second.
Treatment works on both sides of that equation: reducing apocrine secretion with neuromodulator injection, and altering the bacterial environment with antimicrobial and antiseptic protocols.
- 01Neuromodulator injection
- 02Topical antimicrobial therapy
- 03Antiseptic washes
- 04Laser reduction of apocrine glands
- 05Medical screening
- Odour persisting despite thorough hygiene
- Odour with heavy sweating
- Antiperspirants and deodorants ineffective
- Social or professional impact

How the treatment works
A sequence, not a single appointment — each step informs the next.
- 01
Assessment
Gland activity, skin flora and any underlying medical causes are reviewed.
- 02
Antimicrobial phase
Topical antibacterial therapy shifts the skin's bacterial balance.
- 03
Secretion control
Neuromodulator injection reduces apocrine output in the affected area.
- 04
Maintenance
A simple daily routine sustains the result between treatments.
Results measured, not promised.
What to expect
- 01Odour substantially reduced
- 02Sweating controlled at the same time
- 03Bacterial overgrowth corrected
- 04Confidence restored socially
- 05Discreet, non-surgical management

Frequently asked
No. It results from apocrine gland activity and skin bacteria, not cleanliness.
Antimicrobial measures help within days; injections take one to two weeks for full effect.
Almost never — non-surgical protocols control the majority of cases.
Yes, injections are repeated every six to nine months to maintain the result.
