BODY PROTOCOL
IDENTIFY.TARGET. REVITALIZE
Power has a Scent!
The hallmark of treatment solutions. From S.D.U to Body protocol.
From hyperhidrosis to other sweat related issues. The department will focus on each focal area independently the determining factor is the comprehensive results from S.D.U.
LEVEL 1 TREATMENT
Topical treatment solutions for different focal areas. Each focal area has a protocol which MUST be followed for successful results in sweat reduction. For instance, PM and AM underarm sweat regimen, Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis treatment (Elite Facial Skin Care), Palmer and Planter sweat care, chest, back and sweat in inguinal areas such as the groin, thighs and buttocks. Other treatments include iontophoresis machine device treatment, and coping mechanisms.
Body Protocol team is made of professionals working hand in hand with S.D.U for quality service to the hyperhidrosis family.
LEVEL 2 TREATMENT
Medical treatments such as miraDry for Axillary (armpit) Hyperhidrosis considered a long-term solution for the focal area.
LEVEL 3 TREATMENT – 4 STAGES OF BROMHIDROSIS
Bromhidrosis – is a chronic condition in which excessive odor, usually an unpleasant one, emanates from the skin. Bromhidrosis is determined largely by apocrine gland secretion and can substantially impair a person’s quality of life.
Yes, power has a scent who doesn’t want to smell amazing! I mean smelling good is an understatement. Sweat issues extend beyond hyperhidrosis and HAK LTD has established that there are Kenyans who suffer from other sweat related conditions such as Bromhidrosis and Fish Odor Syndrome.
For effective body odor treatments HAK’s S.D.U Powered a treatment formula to manage the situation and this is where the 4 stages of Bromhidrosis BROMPROTOCOL 4 was conceptualized.
The 4 stages include;
• Shower Gel
• Moisturizing Soap
• Body Cream with Vitamin E
• Solid Deodorant
HAK will advise on a fragrance to use.
Each treatment is approached holistically and each management system is targeting the issue on a practical position. Each person’s sweat and body odor issues are different meaning each treatment is tailored made for each individual as opposed to having a “template for all” type of treatment and this is what makes our methodology to sweat treatment unique.

MENTAL HEALTH ZONE DEPARTMENT
NO MATTER THE SITUATION YOU CAN RESET
MENTAL HEALTH ZONE DEPARTMENT – is made up of professional and certified counselors and therapists with wealth of knowledge and experience on the mental health issues. HAK will also consortia with organization that champion and advocate on mental health to enhance successful results in achieving holistic approach to excessive sweating treatment in holistic approach.
Patients with primary hyperhidrosis a condition that causes excessive sweating, Secondary Generalized Hyperhidrosis and other sweat related conditions are significantly more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and attention deficit disorder (ADD). The stigma associated with excessive sweating and sweat related conditions are hardly talked about and viewed as a non-issue.
Hyperhidrosis and other sweat conditions can be especially damaging due to its psychological aspect. People tend to associate sweatiness negatively. Perception, there in turn makes those living with Hyperhidrosis and other sweat related issues hyper vigilant about their sweating by avoiding contact or engaging socially with others. Be it at work or at play.
This damages confidence and to an extent leads to self-isolation and withdrawal. For most, not knowing that they have an incurable YET manageable physical condition often leads to trauma and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
Managing hyperhidrosis will involve a combination of different therapies and this is why holistic approach is imperative. We acknowledge the challenges people living with Hyperhidrosis and other sweat related issues face and since the inception of HAK we have established that indeed a greater percentage of those who have consulted HAK have expressed to have either been dealing with depression, anxiety and stress. “There were some who had said they had suicidal thoughts because their sweating was ruining their life.”
Sweat issues have been trivialized for ages since a majority believe unless there’s physical pain then it should be addressed but what about the slow death characterized by the social psychological trauma associated with it?
Prior to 2018 people living with hyperhidrosis didn’t have a voice.
• Is it painful?
• Don’t worry everybody sweats I sweat too…
• At least it’s not life threatening there are people out there with life threatening diseases.
The cutting remarks are inevitable hence excessive sweating gets down trodden only those living with this condition understand the struggles that comes with it. Below are just but some of the challenges people living with excessive sweating face. Daily activities which are easy to normal acclimated person is indeed a challenge to the hyperhidrosis family.
• Operating a smartphone
• Choice of wardrobe

• Shaking hands
