Electrosurgery using insulated needles: treatment of axillary bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis
1Center of Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, Hamamatsu, Japan.
Abstract:
This paper deals with operative techniques and clinical aspects of electrically treating axillary bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis using insulated needles. Most patients were treated 5 or 6 times using 2 types of needles, one for electroelimination of sweat glands and the other mainly for epilation. The results for most patients were satisfactory, with scarring occurring only in the early developmental stages of the technique.
