Had a consultation yesterday at a very nice dermatology clinic. I met with the woman who would be doing my miradry. I Asked her if she was a RN and she said no I am a medical assistant. She also said the whole procedure takes 2-2.5 hours but when I was researching online I read it only takes about an hour. I asked her how long she has been doing it she said a year. Hmmmm Do they license medical assistants to do miradry? Or is this clinic crazy?

Answer: Who should perform miraDry Hello and thank you for your question! In our practice, our Nurse Practitioner and PA's do all of our miraDry treatments. We feel most comfortable with this setup because of their extensive experience and training. As mentioned below, it must be a licensed individual to do the injections. However, the actual procedure (due to the technology it uses) can be performed by a trained medical assistant. It seems many practices do have MD's, PA's, NP's due to the need to be experienced & well trained. MiraDry can eliminate sweating and odor in as little as one treatment. Also, they just received an indication for hair removal of all colors! Just another benefit to this treatment! Please call us for more information or a complementary consultation! Thank you!
