Can I still use MiraDry if I've had underarm laser hair removal?

Hello,Thank you for your question. You can absolutely consider doing miraDry if you’ve had underarm laser hair removal. The treatment will be just as successful compared to someone who has not received laser hair removal in that area. A decrease in hair in the underarm area is actually preferred when undergoing a miraDry treatment as we ask clients to shave prior to the appointment. miraDry will also help to partially eliminate underarm hair permanently and unlike laser hair removal it targets any colour of skin/hair the same. miraDry post treatment may include swelling, bruising and discomfort that can last several days to a few weeks

Hi cnnebe94

The only fda-cleared treatment that can dramatically and permanently reduce underarm sweat. There will be swelling and you should ice the areas for 24 hours. The swelling shouldn’t prevent you from doing daily activities after the first day. You should start to see results within a few days. There will be a significant reduction in sweat. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

We've had very high satisfaction rates with Miradry in our patients. About 2/3 do two treatments. Patients with excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or normal but bothersome sweating can use Miradry. Laser hair removal does not interfere with Miradry (although Miradry can result in some hair reduction along with sweat reduction). Our nurses or estheticians can use a starch iodine test to identify sweat glands if needed. Miradry is perform under local anesthesia in the office. Good luck.
