Can this procedure cause cancer or other health issues?

Asked By:Rebsscc

When I think of armpits I think of lymph nodes, I would love to get this procedure but am very worried 10 years down the road that they will discover a link to cancer. Is this possible? When I tell people it uses microwave radiation/energy they seem to think its risky!
