How Axillary Microwave Ablation is performed
Treatment is often performed under local anesthesia. The target area in the armpit is located according to a template. After applying a cooling medium, the probe intermittently releases microwave heat energy between the subcutaneous sweat gland layers, causing the glands to be inactivated by heat; multi-point coverage is performed as needed. Cold compresses and pressure are applied after the procedure, and skin sensation, redness, swelling, and bleeding are observed. The overall goal is to reduce armpit odor and related sweating. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
