“…For some years, microwave-based technology has been added to these treatments [9], with good results reported in studies conducted for the treatment of underarm sweating [10][11][12]. It is a local, non-invasive procedure that uses non-ionizing energy with a frequency of 5.8 MHz.…”

Aim: Hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis are disorders related with generalized or local excessive sweating that can have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients who suffer from them. There are several treatments, both topical and invasive, with permanent or temporary effects. In recent years, microwave technology has emerged as a non-invasive procedure with permanent effects and few side effects. The study aim was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and satisfaction degree of patients with axillary hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis treatment using microwave technology, and the primary outcome was to increase patient satisfaction about their sweating levels. Methods: Retrospective cohort study is planned and included the patients underwent a single microwave session with miraWave® technology for hyperhidrosis or bromhidrosis. Efficacy and safety were assessed at one, three, six, and 12 months. Inclusion criteria were men or women between 18-65 years old, diagnosed with hyperhidrosis and an HDSS score of 2-4. Patients with pacemakers and expectant or lactating mothers were excluded. Before treatment, patients were diagnosed using the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale, and the Minor test. Satisfaction was assessed through a subjective assessment of the satisfaction level, using a questionnaire in which participants chose the sentence that best fitted with an assigned score of 0-10. Results: A total of 46 patients participated in the study: 20 women (43.48%) and 26 men (56.52%) aged between 18-65 years old. Throughout the follow-up period, an average of 49.88% of patients reported a subjective improvement of hyperhidrosis and 95% reported the same about bromhidrosis. After comparing the results of their previous level of sweating with those after one year of treatment, 80.40% of patients showed themselves satisfied. All side effects were resolved in a time not exceeding 10 weeks. Conclusion: Microwave technology proves to be an effective and lasting treatment after one single session for axillary hyperhidrosis and/or bromhidrosis.

Impact of microwave thermolysis energy levels on patient‐reported outcomes for axillary hyperhidrosis and osmidrosis

et al. 2022

Objective Microwave thermolysis (MWT) is an emerging treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis reducing both sweat and odor. No prior studies have investigated and compared the different available energy settings of the MWT device. This study evaluated patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) for axillary hyperhidrosis and osmidrosis following MWT treatment with two different energy levels. Methods Twenty adults with axillary hyperhidrosis and osmidrosis reported sweat on Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity scale (HDSS: 1–4) and odor on Odor scale (OS: 1–10), respectively, supplemented by overall Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI: 0–30). This was a prospective, randomized, patient‐blinded and intraindividually controlled study with 3 months follow‐up (FU). Randomization comprised MWT treatment of one axilla with a standard medium energy setting (energy level 3) and the contralateral axilla with a standard high energy setting (energy level 5). Results At baseline, patients reported substantial sweat and odor, negatively affecting their quality of life. At 3 months FU, PROMs showed improved quality of life with significantly reduced odor and sweat. Overall DLQI was reduced from a median of 10 to 4, with a median 6.5‐point reduction (p = 0.0002). HDSS was reduced from a median of 4 to 2 on both sides, with a median reduction of 1 for medium energy level and 2 points for high energy level (p = 0.014). OS was reduced from a median of 8 to 3 for both energy levels, with a median reduction of 3.5 and 4.5 points for the medium and high energy level, respectively (p = 0.017). Local skin reactions were mild and transient, but slightly more pronounced following treatment with the high energy level. Conclusion MWT effectively improved patients’ quality of life, axillary sweat, and odor 3 months after on baseline treatment. Treatment with the high energy level presented a subtle but significant increase of efficacy based on PROMs for both sweat and odor. Patients were willing to accept a higher amount of temporary local skin reactions from a higher energy setting when experiencing greater odor and sweat reduction.
