Still sweat on my right armpit after level 5 treatment?

Thanks for this important question. One treatment of MiraDry will reduce 80% of the sweat and smell from the underarm. It also reduces 70% of the hair regardless of color. Some patients need an additional treatment to get drier. You should return to your treating physician and discuss your concerns. They can perform a starch-iodine test and see where your sweating from as well. Second treatments are usually done at a 50% rate, but it may vary from doctor tor doctor. Best, Dr. ALDO

Considered a one-to- two treatment protocol, Miradry is a quick, in-office treatment providing immediate and permanent sweat and odor elimination with minimal to no downtime. Most patients have 50% reduction in sweat and odor after the first treatment, and another 30% reduction in a 2nd treatment, which can be performed 1-2 months later. Treatments will always be individually customized. Patients with moderate sweating typically need one treatment. Patients with severe sweating typically need two treatments to achieve optimal results. Few patients with severe sweating desire a third treatment.I do think it is a little early so I would advise you wait a few months before making a decision on having the next treatment.  It is important to always consult with your doctor who preformed the procedure.  Good Luck!

Many patients get great results with one #miraDry (also known as #miraSmooth) treatment but it is not unusual to do a second and occasionally a third treatment for full result. It does seem that using the highest setting of 5 gives better results with one treatment.  We generally see marked decrease in sweat immediately but assess at 3 months if the patient desires a second treatment.  It is very helpful for the doctor to do a "starch iodide" test ( a simple technique of applying iodide and cornstarch) to identify any small area of increased sweat and direct the second treatment to that area rather than the entire armpit.
