How MiraDry works

Thanks for your question. The MiraDry procedure utilizes microwave technology to selectively target and eliminate sweat glands in the armpits by focusing electromagnetic waves at a specific level in the body where sweat glands are located. Energy at this specific level of treatment does not significantly reach the fat to cause any change to the fat. Although I'm sorry to hear that your waistline feels giggly, it's highly unlikely that MiraDry was the cause. more

MiraDry treatment

The miraDry treatment is a controlled localized energy that heats and eliminates the sweat glands. There is no report of any fat migration post treatment.

MiraDry does not cause fat migration

Dear tomtom252, miraDry uses electromagnetic wave energy to heat and destroy the sweat glands located just beneath the skin of the underarms. miraDry does not cause fat migration. Warmest wishes, Larry Fan, MD

MiraDry does not cause 'fat migration'

MiraDry does not cause fat migration. I know as I have written a book about miraDry and have done many cases. This is never an issue and does not even make physiologic sense.

I just had my procedure and I feel the same way. I am a thin guy. I have never experienced this giggling b4. Totally scared right now. I traded one problem for another.

Gentlemen, I am currently experiencing the same issue after I had my Miradry procedure 3 days ago, where my waistline is noticeably wider and it jiggles. Has this symptom subsided for you both since then? Also, I wonder if it's a possible reaction to either the lidocane injections or the miradry procedure itself?
