Can Miradry Be Used to Treat Hyperhidrosis on Body Parts Other Than the Auxiliary Area?

Unfortunately there are no good solutions for sweating of the hands and feet.  MiraDry uses microwave energy to damage the sweat glands by directing the energy beneath the skin.  The hand and feet have too many vital structures in the undersurface of the skin.  The only remedy is botox in the hands/feet, or a surgical sympathectomy.  

To date, miraDry is FDA-approved for treating excessive sweating in the armpit area only.  The miraDry handpiece is specifically designed to fit against and apply slight suction to the shape of an armpit.  Even if you were to attempt it on the feet, you may not be able to get enough suction to ensure an adequate treatment.  There are also important structures such as tendons, nerves and blood vessels that are closer to the surface of the skin on the palms and soles than in the armpit and could possibly get damaged by performing miraDry there.  Other treatment options available for excessive sweating on the hands and feet include topical medications, oral medications, iontophoresis and Botox injections.
