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 ?

Answer: MiraDry 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.

Answer: Miradry for the underarms In some patients, one Miradry may be enough to improve underarm sweat permanently. It all depends on your genetics and the severity of your problem. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
