The benefits of BTX-A treatment for multiple eccrine hidrocystomas include ease of application, no risk of scarring, and a good postoperative course. Because of the blockage produced by BTX-A on cholinergic terminals of the parasympathetic system that governs sweat glands secretion, it is suggested that periodic doses of BTX-A are injected in the superficial epidermis in order to treat multiple eccrine hidrocystomas.

The authors' study suggests that the removal of moderate volumes of fat with concurrent subdermal tissue contraction can be performed safely and effectively with radiofrequency-assisted liposuction. Additional benefits of this technique are excellent patient tolerance and fast recovery time. Nonetheless, a larger sample is required to confirm the authors' results and guarantee the efficacy and safety of the procedure. Direct comparison with traditional liposuction or energy-assisted liposuction techniques may provide some insights to tailor future indications of this novel technique.
