No deodorants and antiperspirant works for me now. Can Miradry really eliminate the odor or will it just lessen the odor?

Question

Please help, I regularly take baths, my clothes are washed twice and I don't eat odorful foods. I tried every deodorant I found even the Clinical Strength, and strong antiperspirant but nothing works effectively. It only makes my skin irritated and wounded and the odor is still there, I think my armpits are immune. My sweat is usually oily and super smelly but not that sweaty. Please help me, it is ruining my life. My relative said that I should undergo BoTox. Is Miradry more effective?

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Although miraDry is used extensively for sweating, I have noticed patient report considerable improvement in odor reduction.  As with sweating, the results are technique dependent.  I would recommend that you visit with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who has miraDry in their practice as they will be more likely to use the latest techniques while minimizing side effects.

MiraDry permanently reduces underarm sweat and odor glands.  The sweat and odor glands eliminated during the treatment do not grow back.  About 80% of patients only need one treatment.  As with any medical procedure, results vary by person, and additional treatments may be necessary.    Contact a MiraDry provider for more information.  Best of luck, Dr. Aldo :-)

@abanikoThank you for your question, miraDry is much more effective than Botox, and it is PERMANENT. Being that your odor glands and sweat glands reside within mm of each other, the treatment is effective in destroying both with a 70-85% success rate after just one treatment. Visit with your healthcare professional today for a consultation.Best of luck to you!#oilysweat   #odorglands   #hyperhidrosis

I have extensive experience with Miradry. It is primarily used for hyperhidrosis and will improve bromohidrosis in many cases. I would consider an option for you. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

The sweat glands underneath your armpits are called Apocrine
sweat glands, producing a milky white fluid that innately has no smell.
However, this fluid does contain potentially odoriferous substances which, when
combined with the bacteria naturally found in our armpit, can help lead to
extremely smelly armpits. Fortunately, the removal of our armpit sweat glands
via methods such as MiraDry rids our armpits of the potentially smelly fluid
(armpit sweat), reducing the potential for smell while also making your armpits
much less sweaty. In other words, MiraDry may not completely get rid of your
unfortunate smells, but it can easily reduce it to a manageable level! Talk to
your dermatologist today to learn more.
