Abstract

Microwave body tightening and contouring is a common and efficient cosmetic medical procedure. The current study presents preliminary data about microwave treatment for body contouring where an innovative and unexpected benefit on frostbites was shown. This is a case series on two patients with frostbite treated with microwave therapy. The participants received the treatment for five sessions at 20-day intervals, including the beginning of the study. In addition to being satisfied with the treatment of their skin imperfections, the patients noticed a remarkable and progressive improvement in frostbite on their limbs. Both patients experienced a significant improvement in skin sensation and appearance and no side effects were observed. Our findings confirmed the safety and efficacy of microwave therapy in treating cellulite and skin laxity but rather a positively effect and a significant improvement in the treatment of frostbite as a secondary intention.

冻伤的微波治疗:一个病例系列。
微波身体收紧和轮廓是一种常见的和有效的美容医疗程序。目前的研究提供了关于微波治疗身体轮廓的初步数据,其中显示了冻伤的创新和意想不到的好处。这是两个冻伤患者用微波治疗的病例系列。参与者每隔20天接受5次治疗,包括研究开始。除了对皮肤缺陷的治疗感到满意外,患者还注意到四肢冻伤的显著改善。两名患者的皮肤感觉和外观都有了显著改善,没有观察到副作用。我们的研究结果证实了微波疗法在治疗脂肪团和皮肤松弛方面的安全性和有效性,但在治疗冻伤方面却有积极的效果和显著的改善。
