Does Miradry Replace Deodorant?

I was wondering if Miradry can replace deodorant? The reason why I am asking is that my friend has cancer, and the doctors were telling her that deodorant is seen to have health risks or cancer risks now. I tried the natural deodorant and it just doesn't work! If I get Miradry done can I stop wearing deodorant and it will work well? I shower daily and I understand it won't work miracles. :)

MiraDry replaces deodorant

Yes, miraDry destroys both sweat and odor glands which do not regenerate, so you would most likely no longer have to wear deodorant.

Treatment with MiraDry will significantly reduce the need for deodorant

Treatment with MiraDry will significantly reduce the need for deodorant. The microwave energy employed permanently destroys most of the glands which produce sweat and odor in the underarm area.

Treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis with miradry and retrograde suction curettage

Axillary hyperhidrosis is caused by excessive sweat gland production. Treatments such as MiraDry and Retrograde Suction Curettage can help with axillary hyperhidrosis and allow patients to resume life without excessive sweating. Deodorants and antiperspirants can be less of a daily struggle after treatment.

Great Success!

Studies have shown that two sessions with the Miradry procedure can decrease sweating on the order of 60-90%.
