Would Miradry work in any areas such as the groin, areola, near anus etc?

Question

I have a condition known as hidradenitis suppurativa in which over active sweat glands cause my apocrine glands to clog up and causes boils where I have hair follicles. Would Miradry work in any of those areas (groin, areola, near anus..etc.)?

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  At this time, MiraDry is only FDA approved for axillary sweating (underarm sweating).  Best regards, Dr. Aldo:-)

Thank you for your question. miraDry is only FDA approved for axillary sweating and you will unlikely find a provider that deviates from this until more safety data arises.   In addition, it is not considered a treatment for hidradenitis suppurative.  Humira has recently been approved for HS and you may want to consider this.

I am a national expert on hyperhidrosis and have seen amazing results with Miradry. There are ongoing studies that I am personally aware of for body hyperhidrosis treatment. At this time, Miradry is only FDA approved for the armpits. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

The Miradry is not currently being used outside the FDA approved area under the arm. The Miradry has potential to work on other areas but has not been studied yet.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

Miradry is not yet approved for use in areas other than the underarms.  However, they may be working on applicators for other areas of the body.
