Is miraDry Really a Safe Treatment for Hyperhidrosis?

BrigidWalden
Will the microwave energy in the MiraDry system destroy the fat as well as the eccrine glands, leaving one with "crepey" loose skin in the axilla following treatment? Any other potential downsides? For instance, can the glands regenerate following photothermolysis?
