What is SIT surgery?
SIT surgery removes the sweat glands that cause axillary osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis—apocrine and eccrine glands—using a device with a sharp blade, treating both conditions at the same time.

Apocrine gland
The sweat glands causing osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis are located in the subdermal layer of the underarm skin.
Because they are embedded in the skin, procedures like laser or suction cannot completely remove the sweat glands.
Surgery with a sharp scalpel or scissors is necessary, and currently, only the incision method or SIT surgery can achieve this.
However, the incision method leaves large scars and has a limited surgical area.
SIT surgery can treat a much wider area than the incision method.
It also shows a lower recurrence rate than the traditional incision method.
Do not be misled by procedures like laser or suction that promise a short recovery period.
A short recovery period means the sweat glands were not properly removed.
