Hello, So I got the MiraDry treatment on level 5 and my Doctor said I only need to get one treatment since it's the highest level but after 3 days my right armpit got sweat(not as much as before) when it was hot. I wonder if she missed the spot or what caused it? And what should I do? It won't be fair if I have to pay $1800 again to be treated for the missing spot?!. I would love to hear your advice. Thank you!
Answer: Possible second treatment needed We always treat on level 5 but still always tell patients that about 20% of people need a second treatment. It is good that you are sweating less than before the treatment, because that means it worked. It may be that the sweat came from an area outside of the treated area, so a larger template might need to be used for the second treatment. Most offices give a discount for the second treatment when it is needed.

Answer: MiraDry Results Hi and thank you for your question! Always best to first follow up with your physican with questions and concerns. I can tell you that we ask all of our patients to wait 3 months in between treatments, so you can fully assess your result during that time. When we first started doing level 5 on patients, we thought most patients would need only one. However, what we've seen is that there are still some patients that need the 2nd treatment and in a rare case even a 3rd. There is a theory that in some areas the glands may be deeper than others and that could be why some areas are more resistant. Miradry is definitely the best and most permanent non-surgical option for controlling sweat and odor. I had the procedure and no longer need deodorant!. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
