miraDry - is this treatment effective if prior Botox injections haven't worn off yet?

Asked By:Vanessadoll in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Hi there - I am very interested in MiraDry for permanent sweat reduction. I have tried Botox injections in my underarms, and while it's very effective - I have a fast metabolism, and the Botox seems to wear off quickly on me. I don't think my old Botox injections have worn off yet, I'm not sweating much - will MiraDry still work if I have the treatment now? Or do you have to wait for the Botox to wear off first? Thanks!

You may notice an improvement in odor for a couple of months after miraDry. Any odor/sweating should be stabilized and any swelling or nodularity should completely be resolved before considering a second treatment. Please consult with your physician provider.
Lumps that went away and then came back after miraDry, especially this far out from your treatment, are unusual. You should follow up with the physician provider who performed your treatment to be examined.
Thank you for your question.
