Hello I was just wondering if miradry was similar to Botox in affect towards other sweat glands? Like if I destroy the sweat glands under my arms will there be more sweat coming from my feet and hands as Botox procedures make you sweat from other areas because the sweat needs to come out somewhere else?

Answer: Compensatory sweating after miraDry is very rare Compensatory sweating is most likely after thoracic sympathectomy.It has rarely been observed after miraDry or Botox for underarm sweating.I am aware of only 3 cases posted on this site from patients who have had miraDry.In our practice, 90% of our patients require only a SINGLE miraDry session.

Answer: No The sweat glands in the axilla account for approximately 2 % of the total body. Therefore, you will NOT compensatorily increase sweat production in other areas of the body nor will it affect your ability to cool yourself. Best wishes,Dr. Ravi Somayazula
