Personalized Perfume - Avivit Zekry is an Israeli perfumer who creates unique niche perfumes.

The signature fragrance is crafted according to the individual's first name and birth date!

The perfume is handmade with a high concentration of natural raw materials such as oils, fragrance plants, and high-quality extracts from a private collection.

Unlike commercial perfumes, personalized perfumes are created with artistry, offering a unique fragrance experience for each individual.

Just as no one has your fingerprint or DNA, creating a perfume with a unique personal touch is tailored to your personality.

Matching the perfume to a person's character is a fascinating and educational process. Just as every plant has its own name and unique tune, each letter of a person's name belongs to a specific fragrance group.

The matching process is done through a short personality questionnaire or a fragrance test on-site.

And the scent... adorable.

Another service Avivit offers is matching scents for brands, retail chains, and hotels in Israel and worldwide.

Avivit works both in Israel and abroad, and a new luxury custom made fragrance brand called:CASABELLA FRAGRANCES, Ambiance Prive collection, is already being sold in Miami, USA.

I was very curious to know what scent Avivit would choose for me without meeting me, based only on my birth date and name, and I was amazed by how much I connected to the fragrance she selected.

This is a perfect and unique product. The packaging is flawless and special, and the scent is truly a dream.

It is highly recommended!

Excessive sweating is not limited to the summer season.

Even when temperatures drop, people who suffer from excessive sweating in summer continue to struggle with sweat stains and the discomfort they bring.

Dr. Chen Pardo from the Hyperhidrosis Department at the VIV Medical-Aesthetic Center explains that hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where a person sweats excessively beyond what is needed to regulate body temperature. This excessive sweating is not related to physical activity or environmental temperature.

Localized hyperhidrosis is linked to stress or tension, and even thinking about sweating can increase the excessive sweating or initiate the process. It impacts all aspects of life: livelihood, career, relationships, mental well-being, and more.

Treatment options for hyperhidrosis:

Botox (Botulinum Toxin) Injections:

A simple and temporary treatment for those suffering from excessive sweating in almost all body areas, especially the armpits, hands, face, and forehead. This is an accessible and popular clinical solution for hyperhidrosis and general sweating. The treatment stops sweating at the injection site, and its effect lasts for several months, gradually wearing off.

MiraDry: A long-term/permanent technological treatment: FDA-approved and the first of its kind in the world, offering non-surgical treatment with permanent results for excessive sweating in the armpits.

MiraDry works using electromagnetic energy, which selectively heats and destroys sweat glands in the armpits, thereby improving odor as well.

Palmadry Home Device: A home-based treatment using iontophoresis, significantly reducing sweating in the hands and feet. It is approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health and the European CE, manufactured in Germany in collaboration with the VIV Medical Center. The device is very easy to use, suitable for all ages, and painless. It is appropriate for treatment starting from children aged 7 and up.
