Affordable Hair Removal – Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal

Will laser Hair Removal on the arm pit stop body odour?

By removing hair with laser, will this prevent under arm body odour? Also, does anyone know what actually causes the smell on people? I heard that it is bacteria feeding on the sweat, but in that case, wouldn’t everybody have the same smell since the bacteria would be the same?

Removing the hair will not change the amount of sweat, except perhaps by a small amount by making the area cooler. It can reduce the odor slightly by reducing the surface area for bacteria to grow on. However, it’s extremely expensive, and can cause problems if you’re prone to forming extensive scar tissue. Trimming or shaving is easier and has the same effect.

Different people have different body odors because of variations in their body chemistry and the various products they use on the skin. The bacteria would not necessarily be the same either. Populations of bacteria mutate and evolve just like any other species.
