Would you get this ultrasound technique done to your armpits so you never sweat again?

Remember the seven-day deodorant pad? It can't begin to compare with what researchers at Yonsei University Medical Center in Seoul, South Korea, are now working on. According to the British Journal of Plastic Surgery, researchers describe a method of using ultrasound energy to destroy the sweat glands in armpits. The method liquefies the fat layers under the skin, and since the sweat glands are located in the fat, it's the ultimate answer to sweaty armpits. The energy levels used are low, so the ultrasound doesn't harm any of the other tissues. The method was tried in 84 patients, and only three had any recurrence of armpit odor.
