Will MiraDry Distroy Apocrine Glands?

Miradry is FDA approved to treat hyperhidrosis in the armpits. Some patients have also seen improvements in armpit hair and bromohidrosis. 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. Let us
know if we can help in any way.

Yes Miradry destroys apocrine glands which is why it is effective in treating odor.Miradry is the best way to correct your problem for your armpits. Generally one but sometimes two treatments are required for lifelong results. Excess sweat (hyperhydrosis), and smelly armpits (bromhydrosis) are caused by eccrine (sweat) and apocrine glands whose secretion is modified by bacteria causing a bad odor. Even though you may wash frequently, the cleaning action does not get down into the pore depth where the bacteria live. In Asian countries, this is the major use of this technology. Miradry eliminates these glands permanently and solves both problems. You will never need to use deodorant again.
