I underwent the MiraDry procedure 2 months ago, & now I'm seeing some of my ability to sweat return to the treated area. The company (Miramar Labs) claims that at least 2 treatments are necessary to achieve "lasting" results. I want to know the following: if I just stop now and do not get treated a second time, do I retain permanent reduction in sweat, or does my sewat return to normal if not treated a second time ? Is it absolutely necessary to receive a second treatment for permanent results ?

Thank you for your question. I have treated patients with severe axillary hyperhidrosis in the teenage years with parental consent and it has helped those patients. Newer techniques also allow for a safer and more effective delivery of the procedure.
MiraDry is a FDA approved procedure to reduce sweat, odor and hair. With the testing of the procedure and research, there are no cancer related cases. So the answer is no it will not increase your risk of cancer. It is also FDA approved.
