Excessive sweating is a medical condition that can be devastating. Hyperhidrosis and Body odor can oftentimes be annoying and embarrassing to the point that only your sincere friends remain stuck with you. Through the very own surgical innovation of Dr. Alonzo, he uses different kind of techniques such as:

- Inaba Surgery - direct scrapping of sweat glands of the axilla using Inaba tissue shaver instrument. Invented by Dr. Masumi Inaba of Tokyo, Japan
- Liposuctions of sweat glands of the axilla using 2-4mm cannula,
- Harvesting of the remaining sweat glands of the axilla using sharp scissor.
- Cauterization of the remaining hair bulbs.
The surgery takes 1 to 1 ½ hour under local anesthesia on an out patient basis.

Botox can also be used to stop excessive sweating. This condition, known as hyperhidrosis, is caused by abnormal sensitivity to acetylcholine, the chemical responsible causing to sweat. When the botox is injected into the sweat glands, it inhibits the production of acetylcholine and virtually switches off the sweat glands. But botox is not a cure at all; it needs to inject a lot of toxin to achieve the desired results. The treatment can be costly and only last from four months to a year.

Removal of:

1) Warts = are benign tumors or skin growths on the top layer of the skin. They cause pain and discomfort and highly contagious. Warts are mainly skinning colored but sometimes darker in color. They have multiple appearances depending on where they grow. Some are rough, some flat and some smooth. Warts removal can be successfully removed through Electrocautery. This is burning away the warts with a thin, needle-like tool with hot tip. Healing is within 2-3 weeks. So if you find warts on your body, it's best to remove them as soon as possible. Warts can grow and spread fast and can even turn out to be a long-term problem if you do not take care of the warts removal now. 



2) Moles = can appear anywhere on your skin, maybe alone or in groups. They are usually brown, pinkish and black in colors. Moles can also lead to a dangerous health problems if one changes in size, appearance, bleeds, not uniform in color, has ragged edges and very unusual. If the mole is determined to be cancerous, removal is most likely recommended.
Mole removal is a simple procedure that has a little or no recuperation period. Protruding moles are removed for single treatment only through excision (cutting) with sutures for complete and permanent removal. While for flat moles and skin tags, they are removed through electrocautery. It is a procedure that uses heat to burn off the mole touching only the superficial layer of the skin. The procedure takes 30 minutes and the scab will heal within 1 to 2 weeks. Because moles can cause self-consciousness, embarrassment and discomfort, removal is usually the answer. Removal of moles can lead to smoother, clearer skin as well as reducing skin irritation.

3) Keloids = are an overgrowth of scar tissue developed under the site of the injury. These scars are color red, pink or dark tan and they are usually thick, rounded, irregular cluster and itchy during formation and growth. Keloids may form at any part of the body although the shoulders, upper back and upper chest are prone to keloid formation.
Treatments include steroid injections, cryosurgery and excision. Steriod injections are injected into the keloid once a month.
