I'm a 30 year old female and I've had ETS done in 1999 for palmar hyperhidrosis. Now my hands and face don't sweat, but literally every other part of my body does. I can't use strong, prescription antiperspirants on my armpits (like Klima, Odaban etc), as my skin is extremely sensitive, especially after I've shaved. Medication also has no effect: neither prescription meds (like Oxybutynin) nor natural homeopathic remedies. Also, any idea when Miradry will be available in South Africa? Thank you!
Answer: Miradry options for the underarms and compensatory sweating Miradry is an excellent longterm treatment for underarm sweating. I have performed the procedure in a subset of patients who have had compensatory sweating from ETS and the results are excellent. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: MiraDry will treat compensatory sweating of the armpits caused by ETS One of the unfortunate side effects of ETS is compensatory sweating. MiraDry will decrease sweating in the armpits, whatever the cause. However, it only works in the treated area (armpits). Of note: with MiraDry, there is no side effect of compensatory sweating.

Answer: Miradry for underarms Although miraDry is getting a lot of attention recently, it has actually been around for a while. It has been extensively studied and there is no cancer association. The FDA has cleared it for safe use as well. The microwave energy only penetrates 4-5mm in depth and heats up and destroys the sweat and odor glands. The energy does not reach lymph nodes or deeper structures and it in non-ionizing radiation (the safe kind, like radiowaves). I have had the procedure done myself and it has truly been a gift. One and done for 80% of people! In the long term, much more cost-effective than Botox which has to be repeated every 3-6 months. Let us know if we can help in any way.
