[Complications Following Treatment for Excessive Axillary Sweating With Microwaves: A Case Report]
Abstract:
Excessive axillary sweating is a frequent reason for seeking consultation in aesthetic medicine. Botulic toxin therapies have been used for years for this condition. A microwave-based treatment (MiraDry®) has been used in France since 2011. We present the case of a patient who developed complications following such a treatment for excessive axillary sweating, namely dermal detachment, subcutaneous collections, dermal thickening, retractile scars responsible for pain and limitation of axillary amplitudes. These complications mimic the natural evolution of deep axillary burns. In this paper, we propose a management method for patients with this type of complication.
