Hello and thank you for your question. MiraDry is not approved for use in the groin area. At this time, its only approved for use in the axillary (underarm area).

miraDry is FDA approved for hyperhidrosis of the underarms but can be used 'off label' in other areas like the groin at the discretion of the treating physician.
