“…Ultrapulse CO 2 laser application to vaporize subcutaneous fat was reported by Cook et al [6] and Park et al [7]. Instead of good tightening, they needed to incise and dissect the skin for laser exposure because of the large handpiece.…”

Ultrasound energy liquefies high fluid content tissues, such as epidermis and sweat glands via cavitation, but minimally affects dermis, blood vessels, and nerves at the same energy level. We have used ultrasonic surgical aspirator to treat several skin diseases such as Bowen's disease, wart, prurigo nodularis, and osmidrosis. The ultrasonic surgical aspirator offers an effective and safe method to treat them with few complications. We expect several other skin diseases could likely be cured using ultrasonic surgical aspirator by accumulating additional cases.

“…The mode of action of LC consists of a combined superficial liposuction with subsequent curettage of sweat glands at the dermis/fat junction and deep dermis. For successful surgery it is mandatory to extensively remove glands, which, however, includes the risk of skin erosion, ulceration and sometimes severe skin necrosis of the axillary region [3, 6]. Depending on the instrument used, skin necrosis has been reported to occur in up to 6% [20].…”

“…An ordinary superficial liposuction technique with blunt cannulas has been described for the treatment of FAH; nevertheless it seems to be less effective than LC with a sharp rasping cannula [3, 6]. The anatomical situation after LC is a special combination of a full-thickness graft with uninterrupted blood circulation from the adjacent skin.…”

“…Thus, the final condition of LC should consist of axillary skin, converted to a full-thickness graft, supported by blood supply from the surrounding nonoperated skin [5]. However, this involves possible risks of skin necrosis which have been described for LC and other minimally invasive procedures [6]. Although LC has become a popular and frequently applied technique, no data of axillary skin blood flow after surgery with possible correlation to skin necrosis are available.…”

Laser Doppler Scanning Study of Axillary Skin before and after Liposuction Curettage in Patients with Focal Hyperhidrosis

et al. 2008

Background:Minimally invasive surgeries are frequently used in patients suffering from focal axillary hyperhidrosis (FAH). Sweat glands are removed surgically and the axillary skin is thinned out, with skin necrosis being a possible complication due to reduced microcirculation. Although of considerable interest, studies evaluating pre- and postoperative skin perfusion are unavailable. Objective: To evaluate the blood flow of axillary skin in patients with severe focal axillary hyperhidrosis before and after liposuction curettage (LC). Material and Methods: The blood flow in the axillary skin of 11 patients was measured by laser Doppler perfusion imaging before surgery and on days 1, 7 and 28 after LC with a rasping cannula. Skin perfusion was measured in arbitrary units (AU) with measuring points in the axillary center (AC), the operated skin 2 cm from the center (2C) and the surrounding healthy skin (HS). Results: No significant differences of preoperative skin perfusion were found (AC: 0.39 ± 0.08 AU/2C: 0.38 ± 0.07 AU/HS: 0.39 ± 0.07 AU; p > 0.05). On the first and seventh postoperative days, AC (0.2 ± 0.04 AU/0.27 ± 0.81 AU) and 2C (0.2 ± 0.03 AU/0.28 ± 0.06 AU) area were significantly less perfused, whereas the HS showed higher perfusion values (0.59 ± 0.1 AU/0.53 ± 0.09 AU). Twenty-eight days after LC the 2C (0.36 ± 0.07 AU) and HS (0.4 ± 0.06 AU) skin revealed no significant differences compared to preoperative skin perfusion (p > 0.05). The AC perfusion was still slightly reduced (0.37 ± 0.09 AU) without significant difference compared to preoperative findings. Conclusion: LC reduces the axillary skin blood flow with the axillary center being the least perfused area. However, in our collective, no correlation to possible side effects was observed.
