Will Miradry Increase my Risk of Cancer?

The short answer is no. This treatment is limited to the skin of the axilla region. The treatment duration is short (about 30 minutes per axilla) and highly effective. Majority of the patients are satisfied with just single treatment. There has not been a documented case linking Miradry treatment to any cancer.

There have not been any side effects associated with miradry after 3 months.  I do not see a way it could even cause cancer

Miradry procedure is very safe. We have performed hundreds of these in our office. It affect sweat glands which are positioned right under the skin level. Breast tissue or lymphnodes are way deeper than that. What is nice about this procedure the satisfacton rate is close to 100%!

After the miraDry treatment at the BioSpa Newport Beach, your
underarm sweat and odor glands will be eliminated. While your body does need
sweat glands to cool itself, your body contains 2-4 million sweat glands – only
about 2% are found in your underarms. Eliminating this 2% of sweat glands, does
not affect your body’s ability to cool itself. Over 30,000 safe treatments have been performed, there are no known cancer risks

Miradry addresses the sweat glands of the armpits and does not have any specific cancer risks. It is FDA approved and I have found it quite safe in my patients. 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.

MiraDry does not use radiation, rather microwave technology.  Its safety has been validated by a number of regulatory agencies throughout the world, including the US FDA.  I am comfortable using it on any and all of my qualified patients.Best of luck!

Hi there-The great many patients who have been treated with miraDry over the multiple years of research now have not ever experienced a link of any kind to cancer. The microwave energy used in the procedure is very tightly focused at the depth of the sweat glands, and this limited penetration is a major reason for its high degree of safety.It is also worth pointing out that among all procedures on this site, miraDry has been among the 2 or 3 with the very highest rates of patient satisfaction.

miraDry is a FDA approved procedure to reduce sweat, odor and hair.  With the testing of the procedure and research, there are no cancer related cases.  miraDry is a permanent solution for excessive sweating and odor.  It reduces the amount of sweat by 82%, so there may still be some sweating.  

miraDry is an FDA cleared, safe treatment. There is no evidence that suggests miraDry causes cancer. Using radio waves, the miraDry treatment targets areas that produce sweat, directly below the layer of your skin, and can not reach your lymph nodes. In my practice we offer miraDry to safely treat underarm sweat and odor.
