Treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis/Bromidrosis Using VASER Ultrasound

Excerpt

I would like to commend Dr. Commons and Dr. Lim (Treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis/Bromidrosis using VASER Ultrasound, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) on their analytical approach to a problem that obviously affects a large portion of the population. Their well-documented protocols and patient assessment forms yield objective criteria which make it easy to understand and attempt to ascertain efficacy of this problem. Their clear method of describing how the procedure is performed with actual treatment energies and times is also to be commended. These small little details are crucial for those considering their own trials in as safe of a protocol as possible and are usually missing in many presentations by others when using energy sources, whether ultrasound or lasers. Being well-versed with internal ultrasonic disruption of fat cells, both VASER and the other technologies, for over 12 years I too am always looking to new potential applications for this technology. With this being said, I would like to pose some questions that might be able to be addressed by Dr. Commons and Dr. Lim in a follow up to this publication. …
