Can Miradry Develop Compensatory Sweating or Increasing Sweating in Others Parts of the Body ?

Compensatory sweating is an unpredictable consequence of hyperhidrosis treatments. Miradry has a low risk of this problem but there is still a finite risk. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Although miraDry is
getting a lot of attention recently, it has actually been around for a while.
It has been extensively studied and there is no cancer association. The FDA has
cleared it for safe use as well. The microwave energy only penetrates 4-5mm in
depth and heats up and destroys the sweat and odor glands. The energy does not
reach lymph nodes or deeper structures and it in non-ionizing radiation (the
safe kind, like radiowaves). I have had the procedure done myself and it has
truly been a gift. One and done for 80% of people! In the long term, much more
cost-effective than Botox which has to be repeated every 3-6 months. There is no compensatory sweating with miraDry.  Let us
know if we can help in any way.

It is very unusual to develop compensatory sweating with Miradry.

Miradry has a very high success rate and it’s been a life-changing procedure for all of our patients. After performing Miradry for more than 3 years now we haven’t had any cases with compensatory sweating. Only 4% of your body’s sweat glands are located under your arms. By destroying such a small amount of sweat gland your body won’t develop compensatory sweating. In addition, the treatment is very localized and it does not affect any other body areas.
