Laser hair removal uses focused beams of light to target and destroy pigment in hair follicles and prevent future growth. It works best on dark-haired individuals containing melanin. Shaving is not advised before beginning laser treatments, and sun exposure or tanning beds should be avoided between sessions.
Voyage MedSpa offers laser treatments to reduce excessive sweating in your underarms, palms, feet and groin area. Find out more by booking a consultation!
Eccrine glands
Sweat glands are simple tubular exocrine glands found at the apical layer of the hypodermis that secrete watery solutions which are hypotonic to plasma, helping regulate body temperature through evaporation. Sweat contains sodium chloride, urea and lactic acid as well as other components; their production helps regulate overall body temperature. Sweat glands are found throughout skin except lips and external genitals and their structures consist of inner secretory epithelial cell layer with outer myoepithelial myoepithelial cell layer and secretory ducts opening onto skin surface or hair follicles for temperature regulation.
Eccrine glands receive sympathetic innervation through short preganglionic cholinergic fibers activated by changes in core body temperature. They then synaptically connect to postganglionic neurons via nicotinic receptors and release acetylcholine; Apocrine sweat glands respond to emotional stimuli such as fear, stress, pain or sexual stimulation by producing norepinephrine-stimulated sweating; they synapsize with postganglionic neurons via norepinephrine and releases acetylcholine; while Apocrine sweat glands respond norepinephrine-stimulated neurons via postganglionic neurons via postganglionic neuronic synaptic synapses with postganglionic neurons via postganglionic neurons via postganglionic synapses with postganglionic neurons via postganglionic synaptic receptors to postganglionic neurons via synaptic synapses with postganglionic neurons via synaptic synaptic receptors synapses with postganglion neurons via synaptic synaptic receptors for synaptic release of Acetylcholine release from postganglionic neurons via syncotinic receptors synaptically synapses to postganglionic neurons via synxin receptor sync release of Acetyll Neuronisc receptors synaptically release of Acetin receptors to release of Acetinic receptors to release of postganglionic neurons via nicotinic receptors release via postganglion neurons via syny nicotinic receptors from postganglion neurons via postganglion neurons postganglion neurons through release by postganglion neurons through release of Acety Choline release from postganglion neurons via postganglion neurons via postganglion neurons via release through release nicotin released postganglion neurons via postganglion neurons by postganglion neurons via Post Gang Lionip with postganglion neurons through release via postganglion neurons postganglion neurons into postganglion neurons via postganglion neurons via nico receptors of receptors on postganglion neurons through nico receptors nico receptors released postganglioni.

The hypodermis’s apical region contains two kinds of glands, known as apocrine and eccrine glands, respectively. Apocrine glands are associated with hair follicles, producing protein-rich sweat that acts to regulate body temperature more effectively. Eccrine sweat glands also play a vital role in controlling temperature.
At Apocrine Glands, myoepithelial cells form a thin mesenchymal layer called the myoepithelium that protects epithelial cells and connects with dermis through periderm. Unfortunately, this layer is highly vulnerable to infection, often being damaged during laser hair removal treatments and leading to painful reddish-brown bumps called Syringomas with prominent blood vessels that often develop after laser hair removal treatments; when multiple such bumps appear it is known as Poromatosis.
On human skin, keratinocytes in apical regions of both epidermis and upper apical region of hypodermis that exhibit intermediate differentiation are classified as either sweat glands or sebaceous glands. They show a polarized distribution and an unusual pattern of cell proliferation; their appearance suggests they have similar cytological morphology to pilosebaceous units’. When present near wounds they expand eccrine-like outgrowths which merge together into groups above each appendage (Figure 1E); their expansion rate remains consistent during reepithelialization processes similar to pilosebaceous unit-derived outgrowths’s (Figure 1E).
Apocrine glands
Sweat glands can be divided into two broad categories: exocrine and apocrine. Apocrine glands tend to be larger than their exocrine counterparts, with longer tubular lumens. They produce viscous sweat containing lipids and steroids called “apocrine sweat,” unlike its exocrine counterpart. Apocrine glands do not secrete salt or water like their exocrine counterparts do and produce various compounds with foul smells such as volatile alcohols, fatty acids, volatile alcohols etc – responsible for emotional sweating responses such as stress, fear pain sexual stimulation etc – often found located near armpit or perineal areas. Apocrine glands usually reside here as they produce viscous sweat; they produce various compounds which emit foul smells when exercise or extreme heat occurs apocrine glands activate during these activities and this type is responsible for emotional sweating due to stress response from either of its types being activated either from exocrine ones located here or perineal regions where exocrine ones usually are located: either near armpit or perineal areas where exocrine ones produce secretions such as salt and water from its glands instead produce this substance known as “apocrine sweat”, this substance also produced by other glands does not secrete salt or water or produce compounds with unpleasant aromas such as volatile alcohol compounds such as volatile alcohol compounds such as volatile alcohol compounds are produced due to exercise or exposure causing physical stress such as anxiety/pain stimulation/sexual stimulation of sexual stimulation etc; unlike its production or produced during exercise/exposure occurs. Apocrine glands exist axillae, armpit/perineal locations may activate them either or simply from exertions/exposure heat related. Apocrine sweat is released during exercise/exposure while secreting. Apocrine sweat which contain salt/water/vars may produce odorous compounds odorous volatile alcohol compounds from which is also produced odorous compounds. These can produce volatile alcohol fatty acids from volatile alcohols which in other ways that create physical stimulation while activations. Finally and produce certain compounds due to heat/exes depending on exposure such as this is usually located either physically through other ways than usual also activates/perineal area locations vary accordingly, although may also activates/perineal.
Apocrine glands, similar to merocrine (eccrine) glands, are surrounded by thick layers of dermis and subcutis, as well as having a short duct opening into the infundibulum of hair follicles; their short duct is lined by simple epithelium comprised of one cell type. These cells contain cells with dense cytoplasm filled with secretory material and protrusions at their apical surface that were thought to serve as mechanisms of excretion – hence their name “apocrine glands”. These cells contain numerous lysosomes, mitochondria, lipofuscin and Golgi apparatuses when active secretory processes occur. Apocrine cells also feature glassy aggregates in their apical cytoplasm which contain ASOB1 and ASOB2 proteins which share homology with lipocalin apolipoprotein D; their secretion process has recently been shown to involve these glassy aggregates containing these scent-binding proteins.
Apocrine glands’ precise functions remain poorly understood. They may play a role in adipogenesis, cell differentiation or even pheromone signaling; humans possess dense concentrations of these glands near the axillary and perineal areas where eccrine and sebaceous glands exist in hair follicles, along with the more commonly-seen apocrine glands found elsewhere in mammalian species.
Apocrine glands are an integral component of human bodies. They play an integral part in regulating core temperature as well as producing and controlling electrolytes, and are stimulated by sympathetic innervation from thermoregulatory center of hypothalamus via cholinergic fibers that act via muscarinic receptors to release acetylcholine which causes sweating that conserves electrolytes while simultaneously lowering core temperature; they’re also responsible for emotional sweating in response to stress, anger, or fear; and produce various odourous compounds used as communication with animals as well as humans alike.
Hair follicles
Hair follicles are tube-like structures (pores) which encase and protect your roots and strands of hair, located within two layers of skin on either side. You are born with over five million follicles on your body – this part of the system produces the protein keratin which produces hair growth.
Each hair follicle is associated with an arrector pili muscle fiber that pulls on its hair shaft, making it extend beyond your skin surface in a process called piloerection and making your scalp feel spongy, itchy or tender. Each follicle also is associated with a sebaceous gland, which produces oily or waxy substance known as sebum that lubricates it all together.
Hair follicles can be either round or oval in cross section and vary in size according to their location on the body. Furthermore, they have two slightly curved areas – a main c-shape in the middle and smaller curves at either end – which help them support hair growth by holding each strand in its proper place as it emerges.
Your hair follicles produce two different kinds of hair: soft, fuzzy vellus hairs known as vellus and coarser terminal hairs with darker pigmentation that serve as insulation on almost all parts of the body, while terminal hairs mainly reside on your head, neck, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, chest and armpits. Vellus hairs can be found almost everywhere on your body while terminal ones mainly form eyebrows, eyelashes beards chests and armpits.
When your hair follicle becomes inflamed, folliculitis may set in. Caused by bacteria infection, bumps may form around each tiny pocket where hair grows. This condition can be itchy and uncomfortable. Left untreated, infection could spread further.
Blocked follicles often appear as blackheads and whiteheads, and can clog your pores. Blocked follicles occur as the result of excessive production of sebum which causes pores to be larger than usual, and dead skin cells accumulate within hair follicles creating what are known as sebaceous filaments – clumps of debris in hair follicles that block hair follicles.
Sweating after laser hair removal
Applying laser hair removal technology is an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment, known for being safe, quick and effective compared to shaving. Some individuals may worry that using the laser may affect their sweat glands negatively; here are some tips to avoid overheating during laser treatment.
Laser hair removal should not cause excessive sweating if you have sensitive skin, as the treatment can produce a burning sensation that leaves red and swollen patches behind. In order to receive optimal treatment results it’s also essential that you follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, including wearing sunscreen, avoiding tanning beds and limiting sun exposure of treated areas of body; you should also refrain from using fragranced or exfoliating products on this area of body after receiving laser hair removal treatment.
One of the primary concerns for individuals undergoing laser hair removal is how it will impact underarm sweating. Sweat is produced in underarms, palms, feet and groin areas by apocrine glands which secrete sweat-producing molecules into contact with bacteria to produce body odor. Deodorants and antiperspirants may help alleviate this odor for an unpleasant body odor experience.
Laser hair removal may result in temporary reductions of sweating by attacking both sweat glands and hair follicles simultaneously, making an effective treatment option if underarm sweating is an issue. Although you may experience temporary inability to sweat after treatment, your normal sweat production should return once your skin heals back over time.
Laser hair removal uses heat-activated light pulses to convert pigmented hair follicles into heat and temporarily disable them, causing hair loss and future growth prevention. It can be used on faces, legs and armpits. Although results are permanent over time; more sessions may be necessary.
If your underarm sweating has reached dangerous levels, miraDry offers a non-invasive procedure designed to target sweat glands to limit overproduction of sweat. The treatment has FDA approval and works by targeting these glands with thermal energy focused precisely at them.
