Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin disease that can last a lifetime if left untreated.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is observed in the folds of the skin in the armpits, groin, under the breasts, around the anus, buttocks and genital organs, especially in areas with excess sweat and sebaceous glands.

Hidradenitis suppurativa laser treatment precisely targets the hidradenitis tissues, offering an effective solution without the need for surgical intervention. During the treatment, the foul-smelling and inflamed areas are carefully marked and the patient is relaxed with local anesthesia. Laser therapy permanently removes the foci of hydradenitis and accelerates the healing process as it does not damage the surrounding healthy tissues. At the same time, this method significantly reduces the risk of recurrence of the disease. In this way, patients can get rid of the inflammation, bad odor and pain caused by hidradenitis suppurativa and continue their daily lives more comfortably.

• Procedure time is 30 -40 minutes.
• No anesthesia and anesthesia-related side effects (Simple Local Anesthesia Only)
• As there is no surgery, there is no need for pre-treatment tests or analyzes and fasting or satiety does not interfere with the treatment.
• There are no stitches.
• Recovery is fast because the tissues are not damaged.
• They can return to their daily activities on the same day as the treatment.
• It does not require hospitalization as it is as comfortable and fast as a dental filling.
• There is less pain after non-surgical laser treatment.
• Hidradenitis suppurativa laser treatment destroys infected tissues without surgical intervention,

The most common symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa include painful bumps on the skin, discharge, foul-smelling sores and abscess formation. These symptoms usually start with inflammation under the skin and can worsen over time. Skin sensitivity and foul odors are common, especially in infected areas.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) can usually be diagnosed based on clinical findings and physical examination. While the physician confirms the diagnosis based on the symptoms and the patient’s history, additional tests such as skin biopsy, skin swab, culture tests or blood tests may sometimes be performed for a definitive diagnosis. However, patients often mistake these lesions for hair follicle inflammation (folliculitis). This misconception leads to a delay in diagnosis by an average of 7 years, which can lead to late initiation of treatment and progression of the disease. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent disease progression.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is often tried to be controlled with intensive antibiotic treatments, but this does not always offer a permanent solution and there is a risk that long-term antibiotic use can lead to various complications. Today, laser therapy has emerged as an effective and permanent treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa. The laser method removes the inflammatory foci and prevents the disease from recurring. This also eliminates the side effects and complications associated with overuse of antibiotics. Since laser therapy targets only the diseased tissue and does not damage the surrounding healthy tissue, it ensures rapid healing

• Balanced Diet: Avoid weight gain and reduce the consumption of sugary foods or those with a high glycemic index.
• Smoking: Smoking can worsen the disease, so it’s crucial to avoid smoking to manage symptoms better.
• Hygiene: Especially in hot weather, avoid excessive sweat and moisture. Take frequent showers and keep the skin dry. Using antibacterial soap or shower gel 1-2 times a week can help.
• Deodorant Use: Avoid deodorants that block sweat glands. Long-lasting antiperspirants with harsh chemicals can exacerbate the condition.
• Cosmetic Products: Ensure that moisturizers and cosmetic products do not come into contact with affected areas.
• Clothing: Choose cotton underwear and avoid tight or synthetic fabrics.
