Miradry affected by pregnancy? Will it go back to how it was before?

Anntiff27Mar 22, 2016
I got Miradry about a year ago and had good results. I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy and now I'm back to sweating on my clothes. Will I go back to not sweating as much after the baby or should I think about doing round 2 of Miradry?

I think you need to talk to your treating physician about your anxiety and even consider seeing a psychiatrist if a non-invasive procedure is making you this concerned. All procedures have r...

Congratulations on your 50% reduction in sweat. You should use deodorant again and speak with your treating physician about your concerns. Many patients require a second treatment for additional sweat/odor reduction.  Best wishes, Dr. Aldo
