Starting to experience odor and some sweating under my arms again after Miradry - is this normal?

Question

I have had 2 Miradry treatments since the beginning of 2021. My last one was November of 2021. I am starting to experience odor and some sweating under my arms again. I thought this was supposedly "permanent" or at least thought it was going to last longer than just a couple months, I was just wondering if this was normal?

While Miradry is often promoted as providing long-lasting reduction or elimination of underarm sweating and odor, it's essential to understand that individual responses to the treatment can vary. While many people experience significant and long-term reduction in sweat and odor after Miradry treatments, some individuals may find that their symptoms return over time.
Factors that can influence the effectiveness and duration of Miradry results include individual variation, severity of hyperhidrosis, lifestyle habits, and even natural regeneration. 
It's essential to communicate any concerns or changes in symptoms with your healthcare provider who performed the Miradry treatments. They can assess your situation and provide guidance on potential next steps, such as additional treatments or alternative approaches to managing sweating and odor.Best,Dr. Bimesl

Hi, thank you for your question! Miradry for the average patient has an 80% reduction in sweat, 60% reduction odor, and 50% reduction in hair at 12 months. Yes, this can be normal there are some patients that can be non responders to the procedure. I would recommend scheduling a follow up appointment with your provider!
