Will miradry really help with my severe bromhidrosis? i know miradry is for hyperhidrosis and also helps with odor

Question

im 15 and my bromhidrosis is ruining my life. it's so bad that last year i was homeschooled to save me from embarrassment. i've went back to public school but idk if i can continue going knowing that i smell even when i shower everyday and always apply deodorant. my parents said they will pay for the treatment if i really want it but i don't want them to spend tons of cash on this treatment if it won't help me all the way. is this really worth it?

MiraDry is for both sweat and smell. Most patients (72%) need only one treatment and they have a reduction of 75 - 82 % of the sweat glands reduced. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Oh Jenny I'm so sorry to hear this. miraDry works wonders for patients like you. It is FDA approved for bromhidrosis as well as hyperhidrosis. On average, most patients require only one treatment, however if a second treatment is needed, our office offers the second procedure at half price. I hope this helps!#excessivesweating.    #miraDry.    #bodyodor

MiraDry is a great option to treat both hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis.  Body odor is caused when the fluid secreted by the Apocrine glands mix with the bacteria that live on the skin.  The bacteria breaks down the fluid which creates a foul odor.  MiraDry uses energy that targets and removes apocrine glands as well as eccrine glands and hair follicles.  Once the sweat glands are destroyed, they do not grow back.  Patients typically need only one treatment for a permanent solution to eliminate body odor and sweat!  This sounds like a great option for you to help you feel less self conscious and embarrassed.

Thank you for your question.  miraDry is FDA indicated for underarm sweating, but I have found patients really happy about the odor reduction.  I would confidently recommend miraDry to treat underarm odor using the same treatment protocols as we use for sweating.

There is no guarantee that the odor will be gone, but there is a very good change that it will be better, based on other patients' experiences.  Be well.
