Is hyperpigmentation common on Miradry patients after miraDry?

Hi miradry123

You can see results in as little as one treatment. However, as with any aesthetic treatment, your physician will determine the best protocol for your desired results. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

any energy treatment can cause hyperpigmentation its just not that common with this ultrasound treatment.

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimontly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question.  Hopefully by now some of the pigment has become less noticeable.  I would recommend returning to your dermatologist or whomever did your treatment and make sure there is not some other reason you have darkening of the skin in that area. It sounds like the onset of the pigment was quite a few months after the MiraDry, so it might just be coincidental.  There are other causes of darkening of the skin in certain areas, so I'd see an expert and get checked out with a full skin exam.  Best of luck!
