?:definition
  • Tissue-ablation microwave therapy systems designed for external ablation of regions in the underarms where the sweat glands are located to lessen local sweat. These systems typically consist of a central unit with a microwave generator, a handpiece to deliver the microwave energy that includes antennas and a detachable usually disposable tip to apply the energy, a control to regulate the quantity of energy applied, and additional cooling means for thermal protection of the skin. The system may also include a software to guide the performance of the procedure and the application of vacuum for tissue stabilization. Sweat gland ablation (i.e., thermolysis) are used to treat patients with axillary hyperhidrosis.
