I am a 22 years old Hongkonger. I get compensatory sweating especially on my back and chest after had ETS in 2011. Is miraDry developing or improving for using on other part of body? Is it possible to treat compensatory sweating in few year? Can miraDry not completely destroy the sweat gland (only weaken their function not completely for reduce sweating by around 70% or 50%)? If the answer is yes, is hyperhidrosis will relapse? Where can I get the recent news of the development of miraDry?

Thanks for this question.MiraDry is for anyone who feels excessive sweating from the underarm. One treatment will take care of 80% of the sweating by eradicating the sweat glands. It also help with odor tremendously.It is not just for hyperhidrosis.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
After the MiraDry procedure you will notice a reduction or elimination in your underarm sweat and odor and reduction in underarm hair. Immediately post procedure you may have some swelling and numbness which is normal. We recommend an anti-inflammatory, ice...
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
