Can MiraDry be used for areas on the body other than the under arms?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Miradry is FDA approved for the underarm and very select specialists are able to perform other areas on an off-label basis because of medical necessity.  An examination is required. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

The miraDry® system eliminates the underarm sweat glands, and the sweat glands don’t grow back after treatment. This results in a dramatic and lasting reduction of embarrassing underarm sweat. In a clinical study, patients experienced an average of 82% reduction in underarm sweat. You should notice a reduction in sweat immediately after a single miraDry® treatment. As with any medical procedure, results will vary by person. 80% of our patients need only one treatment. Secondary effects include underarm hair and odor reduction. Right now it is only approved for underarm use. They are working on other areas of the body.

As of April, 2015 MiraDry can only be used to treat the axilla (underarms).  We are actively working on modified and enhanced technology to allow us to treat other areas of the body such as the hands.  Stay tuned!
