Introduction: Hyperhidrosis is the cause of intense suffering and embarrassment. Currently there are many treatments available for this disorder, however none of them offers guaranteed and lasting effectiveness. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of bipolar radiofrequency in axillary hyperhidrosis. Methods: Five patients were selected using the Minor positive test with clinical, photographic, and histological evaluations before and after the procedure. Six weekly sessions were carried out. Results: The patients rated the improvement as satisfactory, with some considering it almost complete. The photographic assessment showed negative for the Minor test and the biopsy did not evidence dermal fibrosis. Conclusion: Bipolar radiofrequency can be considered a safe method, with low complication rates and an excellent additional option in the treatment of hyperhidrosis.

Introduction: Stromal vascular fraction derived from adipose tissue is a rich source of different cells, containing large amounts of stem cells, which ability for diferentiation into various strains. In dermatology, there are several studies on the effectiveness of stem cells, which present antioxidant and rejuvenating effects. However, there are few reports about the anti-aging effects of stromal vascular fraction.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of stromal vascular fraction in facial rejuvenation.
Methods: A prospective, comparative, controlled study was carried out, wit, with 10 patients divided into two groups and subjected to treatment of nasolabial folds with: Group 1: stromal vascular fraction and Group 2: conventional filler (calcium hydroxyapatite). Clinical, photographic and histological evaluations were conducted, with statistical analysis of data.
Results: Both techniques produced satisfactory results and were similar.
Conclusion: Application of stromal vascular fraction is a relatively new technique that presents good clinical results and is a promising option for rejuvenation.
