Fractional microneedling radiofrequency treatment for axillary osmidrosis: A minimally invasive procedure

Abstract: Background Axillary osmidrosis is a distressing condition that can reduce quality of life and lead to personal and social problems. Fractional microneedling radiofrequency (FMR) treatment is a new minimally invasive procedure. Objective We sought to assess retrospectively the efficacy and safety of FMR treatment for axillary osmidrosis compared with subcutaneous surgery in a Chinese population. Methods In total, 48 and 42 patients receiving FMR treatment and subcutaneous surgery, respectively, were recruited. … Show more

“…Given that these responses were independent of tattoo age, and were consistent across all participants, the authors attributed the compromised sweat response to damage to, or blockage of, the sweat glands caused by the repeated needling process involved in tattooing. Indeed, fractional micro-needling radiofrequency treatment, (a procedure similar to tattooing with concurrent thermal energy delivery), has recently been described as an effective treatment modality for axillary osmidrosis 17 . Collectively, this supports the logic of a probable attenuation of sweating response in tattooed skin during exercise.…”

“…A study 34 involving 90 participants compared 1 session of RFMN with surgical subdermal pruning for osmidrosis. Subdermal pruning had 13.7% greater reduction in osmidrosis, but also had longer downtime and more postoperative complications.…”

“…For most patients, it is particularly important to reduce odor and sweating through treatment. Although surgical treatment may lead to compensatory hyperhidrosis after sympathectomy, almost 70% of those patients got relief after the use of oxybutynin, 9 Other nonoperative treatments, such as 2% guronium bromide, botulinum toxin A, anhydrous alcohol, laser, microneedle radiofrequency, can achieve good therapeutic effects in a short period of time, but they all have the disadvantages of short maintenance time and repeated treatment for many times 10–19 .
