The most common techniques used to inhibit axillary sweat glands are thoracic sympathectomy, liposuction curettage, and injection of botulinum toxin, all of which have immediate benets. However, in return, these can generate unsatisfactory effects after some time. Objective: This work aimed to evaluate the degree of satisfaction, benets, and possible adverse effects of the application of microwaves for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with clinical diagnoses of primary axillary hyperhidrosis who underwent treatment with microwave ablation from 2015 to 2018. Medical records were analyzed for demographic data, degree of satisfaction (Likert scale), and adverse effects. Patients were classied according to their hyperhidrosis disease severity scale (HDSS) and clinical results of the treatment to the medical record. The correlation be...

It has a limited side effect profile and reduces localized fat significantly through controlled cooling of the dermis, thus, inducing apoptosis of fat cells. The cases of three female patients, which had been previously documented in a case report in order to demonstrate the treatment efficacy from of 1 to 3 months after the procedure, were considered in this study. Clinical photographs of the treated arms, lower abdomen, and upper abdomen demonstrate the short-term fat reduction efficacy in the three subjects.

Polymethylmethacrylate is effective and safe for treating progressive hemifacial atrophy and can leads a good aesthetic result.

A randomized, multicenter, controlled pivotal trial performed in the United States established the safety and efficacy of this medical device throughout a 12-month study period.
