- Underarm odor is caused by VOCs produced by bacteria breaking down sweat.
- PlaDeo is a new device that kills odor-causing bacteria using plasma, eliminating the need for deodorant.
- The device creates a 1-cm gap between the skin and plasma emitter to prevent skin harm while producing ROS to kill bacteria and break down VOCs.
- Users can adjust treatment time from 1.5 to 3 minutes based on odor severity.
- A clinical trial showed 94% of participants reported significant odor reduction or elimination, with over 90% of targeted bacteria killed.
- PlaDeo is being crowdfunded on Indiegogo, with early pledges at $149 and a planned retail price of $249.
