Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

The miradry system attacks water that is inside of sweat glands.  It does not affect the fat and certainly not the fat in your waistline.  Perhaps you are noticing the saline that was injected as part of your numbing solution.  If so, that will be absorbed.

Although you may know your body best, these changes are not reflective of the norm.  Miradry used focused energy to target the axilla. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

No, the microwave energy is applied only to the armpits and would not have any effect on any other part of your body.

I'm sorry for your experience but I don't believe that your torso fat is caused by miraDry- the miraDry energy only penetrates the skin where it is needed to affect the sweat glands and there is no effect on fat at all.Best wishes, Dr. L

Dear tomtom252,

	miraDry uses electromagnetic wave energy to heat and destroy the sweat glands located just beneath the skin of the underarms. miraDry does not cause fat migration.
