miraDry does not cause breast cancer. It is a safe, FDA cleared treatment for permanently reducing underarm sweat, odor and hair. miraDry uses microwave technology to target your sweat-producing glands. The microwaves can not harm your surrounding tissues or lymph nodes.Thank you for your question and best of luck!
BBLdoll2015,We get questions about miradry and the effect on surrounding tissues frequently. It is helpful to know that the sweat and odor glands lie 4-5 mm under the skin's surface. These glands are the target of the treatment and there is no effect on breast tissue. We've treated a number of patients who've had breast cancer so long as they haven't had radiation or surgery (lymph node removal) in the area to be treated. I hope this helps. Our patients love the permanent effects of miradry!
