Can you get MiraDry treatment without a medical hyperhidrosis diagnosis?

Thanks for this question.MiraDry is for anyone who feels excessive sweating from the underarm. One treatment will take care of 80% of the sweating by eradicating the sweat glands. It also help with odor tremendously.It is not just for hyperhidrosis.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Thank you for your question.  More and more people are now being treated with miraDry without being formally diagnosed with hyperhidrosis.  Typically one treatment is all you need to see a dramatic improvement.

The MiraDry procedure is for anyone who is concerned with underarm sweat, odor and the hair under their armpits.  You do not need a medical diagnosis for hyperhidrosis to have the procedure.  The MiraDry procedure is a great treatment for the patients who are embarrassed by their body odor, T-shirt stains, deodorant on their clothing and would like to feel more confident, fresh and clean.  In our office, we will talk with you in depth regarding the amount of sweat and body odor you experience.  Most patients need one treatment, but those with hyperhidrosis may need a second treatment.  If you are tired of your underarm sweat, then you are a great candidate!

Hyperhidrosis has many variants. It is, however, important to visit with a trained hyperhidrosis surgeon before doing any treatments.  I would always err towards safety rather than a cookie cutter approach. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Most of my patients do not have hyperhidrosis when they come to be treated with miradry.  Most are sick of smelling bad or having to wear deodorant all the time.  Others are sick of the stains on their clothes.

Great question! You do not need to have a medical diagnosis of Hyperhidrosis to be a good candidate for Miradry.  Many people choose to have the Miradry treatment because they (like you) do not want to sweat or wear antiperspirant or Deodorant.  The treatment is very safe and effective.  Choose an office that uses the high volume anesthesia technique and they will be able to increase the energy used with the treatment making it more effective.  I hope this helps!Dr. Quenby Erickson

You do not need to have a hyperhidrosis diagnosis to get miraDry. Anyone who wants to stop underarm sweating and stop using antiperspirant can have it done! If you don't like sweating under your arms then you should get a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist.

There are conditions where patients have underlying medical conditions that cause generalized sweating all over. You will not be wasting your time if you go in for the consutation.A good physician will always examine you and diagnose you before setting up a procedure. That is just good practice of medicine. That way, you won't waste your time and you won't waste 2 hour block time for the physician who will be doing the procedure.Read my ebook about miraDry on the link below.Dr Karamanoukian
