VASER Treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis/Bromidrosis

The Use of the VASER System in the Treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis and/or Axillary Bromidrosis

Patients with excessive underarm odor and sweating and/or odor are treated with the VASER system to determine the VASER's effectiveness in reducing underarm sweat and odor

Patients with excessive underarm sweat and/or odor are recruited. The effect that excessive underarm sweat and/or odor has on their lifestyle is evaluated. They are surgically treated with the VASER system and followed up for 6 months to evaluate side effects, adverse events and effectiveness. Additional lifestyle evaluations are completed for comparison to pre-surgery answers.
