I had my first procedure done about a month ago. Positive note: my sweating has completely stopped. However, my head hair has been breaking off and falling out. I'm scared due to the radiation targeting my glands (although localized to underarms), may have caused the hair loss/breakage I am experiencing. After all, a common side effect for patients receiving radiation/chemo is hair loss and obviously, I'm very VERY concerned.

Numbness is usually transient. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon to determine if there is any scar tissue that may be predisposing you to the problem. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Miradry has been studied extensively and there has been no correlation to cancer. It only penetrates 4-5mm in depth and does not reach the lymph nodes. It heats up and destroys the sweat glands only. I have done it myself and it has truly been a gift.
Miradry is current
approved for the permanent elimination of sweat and odor glands in the
underarms. It does not penetrate deep enought to effect the lymph nodes. I have done it myself and it is truly a gift. Let us
know if we can help in any way.
