안녕하세요?
박윤규원장입니다.
결론부터 말씀드리면 큰 도움이 안되는 방법입니다.
아포크라인선은 배출구가 모근주위에 연결이 되어있습니다.
하지만 영구제모를 하더라도 아포크라인선은 줄지 않습니다.
제모레이저는 그 기전이 멜라닌색소가 타겟이 되는데 아포크라인선에는
멜라닌색소가 없어 레이저를 흡수하지 못하고 따라서 제모레이저에 반응을 보이지 않습니다.
따라서 모근이 없어 진다고 하여도 아포크라인선의 개수는 그대로며 제모레이저가
액취증의 근치적 치료방법이 안되는 이유가 바로 이 때문입니다.
물론 면도등으로 털을 제거하면 아포크라인선의 분비물이 붙어있을수 있는 털이 없어지므로 그로인한 차이는 있겠으나 매우 미미합니다.
참고로 말씀드리면 일반적인 광고들과는 달리 현재 영구제모로
인한 제모 효과는 약 55%정도에 불과합니다.

The goal of this study was to prospectively assess the long-term results of ruby laser depilation in 346 consecutive patients who underwent hair removal at 402 anatomical sites. The patients were treated using a ruby laser, with mean power ranging from 8.6 J to 15.7 J according to skin type. Results were assessed using two outcome measures  the percentage reduction in hair density and the hair - free interval.
*******************
The median reduction in hair density was 55 percent (range, 0 to 100 percent) at a median time of 1 year after the last treatment session.
********************
The median hair-free interval was 8 weeks. Patients underwent a median number of four treatment sessions. Forty-three of the 346 patients were treated at more than one anatomical site. Of the sites treated, 75 percent reduction in hair density was achieved in 22 percent, 90 percent reduction was achieved in 2.2 percent, and complete depilation was achieved in only 0.7 percent. Darker colored hair was more effectively treated. Treatment efficacy was not affected by anatomical site, with the exception of the faces of male patients, which were found to be particularly resistant to treatment. There was a significant correlation between the number of treatments given and the outcome. The overall complication rate was 9.0 percent (36 of 402 sites) with respect to pigmentary changes and blistering, but varied according to Fitzpatrick skin type. The complication rate was highest in skin types V and VI (24.7 percent), with no complications in skin type I. Although a greater than 50 percent reduction in hair density was achieved in half of the 346 patients treated, complete depilation was achieved in only an extremely limited number of patients.
