Does Miradry Replace Deodorant?
I was wondering if Miradry can replace deodorant?

MiraDry reduces/eliminates need for deodorant
Deodorant reduces the odor from sweat, and miraDry can make deodorant unnecessary. In fact, in East Asia, where the population doesn't sweat that much, miraDry is used more to reduce odor than to reduce the moisture from sweating.
miraDry also reduces (or even eliminates) the need for antiperspirant since it reduces underarm sweating by > 80%, on average, after 2 treatments.

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. Surgery90210
