miraDry Laser for Hands and Feet?

At this time, Miradry is not safe for use in the hands and feet.  Representatives from the company have informed our practice that this may come at a later date when the technology has been developed for that indication.We routinely perform Miradry in our office and have been amazed at the permanent reduction / elimination of underarm sweating in just 1-2 treatments.Best of luck!

Currently, MiraDry is FDA approved to treat the axilla only. The current available treatment applicator is not well suited for the skin surface of the hands and feet.

At this time the miradry technology and treatment is only cleared for the underarms (axilla). I believe over time something will come up so don't give up hope for that. Best of luck. 

He technology should work for the hand and they are in the process of trying it there but the depth of the sweat glands is different in the hands so the current use and settings have now been figured out yet

MiraDry is a new generation of technology that
is only available in medical practices for the permanent elimination of sweat
and odor glands for men and women bothered by their underarm sweat. It’s a
quick in-office treatment providing immediate and permanent results with
minimal to no downtime. miraDry® is FDA cleared for eliminating only underarm sweat at this time.#Miradrytreatsunderarms   #excessivesweating    #Miradrytreatsodor

MiraDry® is FDA cleared for eliminating underarm
sweat. It is non-invasive, requires minimal to no downtime, with permanent
results. MiraDry uses electromagnetic energy which is proven to be the ideal
method for treating the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. It creates
targeted heat in the area where glands reside and safely eliminates them.  At this time , the safety of treating hands and feet has not been studied.#Miradrysweatelimination   #underarmsweating  #underarmodor

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.

Botox can be a good
alternative while miradry is being approved for use in those areas. Botox
prevents the nerves from telling the sweat glands to produce sweat and odor.
Hope that helps!

I have co-authored a book on Miradry and continue to see very positive results with treatment. I am aware of several studies evaluating non-armpit treatment.  Until the treatments are FDA approved, I would consider using Botox injections. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

The Miradry must first be tested for safety in treating areas such as the hands and feet. The Miradry has the potential to affect nerves and other structures in the skin, and must be tested first for efficacy and safety.

Miradry is a system specifically designed to treat axillary hyperhidrosis. It does this by pulling the skin of the axilla away from the underlying anatomic structures and then heating the apocrine sweat glands, which lie at the junction of the deepest layer of the skin and the subcutaneous fat, with enough microwave energy to shut down the function of these glands. It is theoretically possible to use the same technique to treat hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet, etc., but the anatomy of these areas is different from that of the axilla, and so the design of the system would have to be modified accordingly. But I would not be surprised to see this done in the not too distant future.
