摘要

Introduction

Primary axillary hyperhidrosis significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. miraDry®, a non-invasive local precisely controlled thermal energy procedure, represents a promising treatment option. This retrospective analysis aimed to evaluate the treatment success and patient safety following miraDry® procedure in the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

Material and Methods

A total of 139 patients receiving miraDry® procedure from 2019 to 2023 with miraDry® fresh protocol for treatment of excessive axillary hyperhidrosis were analyzed. Subjective assessment was performed before and after treatment using hyperhidrosis disease severity scale (HDSS). Minor test (iodine starch test) was done before treatment and 6 months after treatment to objectively quantify sweat severity. Patients with subjective or objective unsatisfied results after first procedure were scheduled for a second treatment.

Results

The majority of treated patients (84%) could effectively be treated with one single treatment, while only 16% (n = 22) required a secondary intervention. HDSS after treatment completion (single and double treatment) showed a significant improvement (p < 0.001) in subjective evaluation of the treatment success. Minor tests demonstrated a significant reduction in sweat severity (p < 0.001), with 95% of patients experiencing no or minimal sweating after treatment completion. The miraDry® procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile with typical and transient treatment reactions that mostly resolved within 6 months (94.2%)

Conclusion

Our data demonstrate that miraDry® procedure is an effective and safe treatment option for primary axillary hyperhidrosis, which results in an immense improvement in quality of life and high satisfaction of affected individuals.
