I received Miradry treatment in June 2017 at level 5. For the first few months, sweating was almost 90% reduced. Now (4 months later) I would say it's only about 50% reduced. The main concern I have is the numbness and tingling that runs down the left inside portion of my arm down to my elbow. I only have this on my left arm. My doctor told me that this would eventually go away. I'm worried that I have permanent nerve damage.
Answer: MiraDry Follow-Up Numbness can occur after MiraDry Treatment, as the nerve may be healing. It may take several months to resolve. You may want to follow up with your provider for an in-person evaluation. Best Wishes,

Answer: RE: How long does it take for nerve damage to heal after miraDry treatment? Hello and thank you for your question. miraDry uses a hand-held applicator to apply heat to the under-arm area, targeting and destroying sweat glands. Your doctor will perform this quick, non-invasive procedure under a local anesthetic, and you will not likely experience much pain.

Answer: Numbness after miraDry The numbness in the underarm and down to the inside of the elbow after miraDry is fairly common. It should return but can take months. No nerves are cut during miraDry but they can be temporarily injured from the microwave energy and the swelling. You should follow up with the physician who performed it.
