For a guy, the thought of shaving his armpits seems odd. Is this something he need to do before the appointment, or is it not an issue?

Answer: Shaving Before MiraDry It is advised to shave 4-6 days prior to your MiraDry treatment. I would suggest no earlier than 4 days due to the risk of skin irritation in the underarms. It may be strange to someone who has not shaved them before but it will help your MiraDry provider with the application of the template when measuring your underarms.

Answer: Preparing for the MiraDry Treatments MiraDry energy is delivered to the underarm by precise markings designated by size that is measured before treating. It will be important to shave the treatment area, in order to see the extent of the hair follicles . Sweat and odor glands will fall within that pattern. It is best to do so ~ 2-3 days before the treatment session.#Miradryreadiness #Miradryodortreatment #Miradryforsweating

Answer: Shave 2 days before... we need to see some stubble. Although miraDry is getting a lot of attention recently, it has actually been around for a while. It has been extensively studied and there is no cancer association. The FDA has cleared it for safe use as well. The microwave energy only penetrates 4-5mm in depth and heats up and destroys the sweat and odor glands. The energy does not reach lymph nodes or deeper structures and it in non-ionizing radiation (the safe kind, like radiowaves). I have had the procedure done myself and it has truly been a gift. One and done for 80% of people! In the long term, much more cost-effective than Botox which has to be repeated every 3-6 months. Let us know if we can help in any way.Botox can be a good alternative while miradry is being approved for use in those areas. Botox prevents the nerves from telling the sweat glands to produce sweat and odor. Hope that helps!And we are the busiest miraDry practice in California with great results. Let us know if you can help in any way.

Answer: MiraDry In order for MiraDry to be effective the hair has to be removed prior to the procedure. This can be done at the office immediately before or by the patient 2-4 days before. Having it done a couple days before the procedure is best to reduce infection. But honestly the risk of infection is very low either way. As my colleagues have discussed, there is some permanent hair reduction associated with this procedure. This has been a nice benefit for our female patients and neutral for the men. Best of luck with your procedure!
