I'm going to be 16 in a few weeks (yay!!) and was wondering if doctors allow teens to under go this procedure.
Answer: MiraDry for teens Yes, we have had patients that are in their teenage years. Extreme sweating can be very distressing, especially during the teen years.

Answer: MiraDry before age of 18 Thank you for your question. miraDry is not a covered procedure by insurance. I have treated patients with severe axillary hyperhidrosis in the teenage years with parental consent and it has helped those patients. Newer techniques also allow for a safer and more effective delivery of the procedure.

Answer: Yes! 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. I have treated patients as young as 14 years old. Let us know if we can help in any way.
