Objectives: To present novel and off label applications of micro focused ultrasound in dermatology
Introduction: Microfocused ultrasound has traditionally been used for facial lifting and body contouring. In this presentation, novel and off label applications, including treatment of hyperhidrosis, hypertrophic scars, vascular lesions and seborrhoea will be described.
Materials / method: Pilot studies of micro focused ultrasound in the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, hypertrophic scars, vascular lesions and seborrhoea were done at the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Centre, Manila, Philippines.
Results: There was significant improvement in the primary outcomes ( depth by measurement on ultrasound in vascular lesions and hypertrophic scars, sebumeter readings for seborrhoea, Minor's test and sweating intensity visual scale for hyperhidrosis). Adverse reactions were transient and tolerable.
Conclusion: Micro focused ultrasound is an effective and safe alternative in the management of vascular lesions, hypertrophic scars, seborrhoea and axillary hyperhidrosis.
