Abstract
In this paper, for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, we propose a driving algorithm for diagnosing the location / distribution / degree of sweat glands using ultrasound images and implementing a treatment device using high intensity focused ultrasound. Currently, treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis uses surgery to cut the skin itself or remove the sweat glands using an incision, but this has the disadvantage of scarring and long recovery time. To solve this, we propose a treatment device using high intensity focused ultrasound and a driving algorithm and a method for implementing a user interface environment.
Highlights
Fluid and hyperhidrosis is a disease that offends people around and interferes with social life by emitting a peculiar smell due to the abnormalities of the sweat glands, and the main cause of it is related to the sweat glands hidden under the armpit
High Intensity Ultrasound is a therapeutic ultrasound, many studies are under way and the positive treatment effect of high intensity concentration ultrasound is being demonstrated[5][6]
High‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for non‐invasive treatment with a range of internal pathologies including cancers of major organs and cerebral pathologies is in exponential growth[7]
Summary
Fluid and hyperhidrosis is a disease that offends people around and interferes with social life by emitting a peculiar smell due to the abnormalities of the sweat glands, and the main cause of it is related to the sweat glands hidden under the armpit. Treatment for fluid and hyperhidrosis involves surgery of cutting off the skin and using the incision to remove sweat glands, but this method has disadvantages of scarring and long recovery time, so it is not preferred recently. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) are used for non-invasive skin tightening[1] To solve this problem, this paper diagnoses the position/distribution/precision of sweat glands using ultrasonic images and presents a plan for realizing the treatment and driving algorithm and user interface environment using high-intensity concentrated ultrasound. Treatment for fluid and hyperhidrosis is doing the surgery of cutting off the skin and using the incision to remove sweat glands, but it is difficult to return to daily life after the surgery and has the disadvantage of scarring. A treatable technology has been developed using microwave technology, but it is difficult to apply it in practice due to the inherent risks of microwave technology and the disadvantages of destroying tissues other than sweat glands[8]
