Is There a Risk of Having a person Skin Burnt by 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.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.

The MiraDry device does use energy that creates heat. The device has been designed to keep the skin as cool as possible and prevent burns. In my practice, I have not seen any significant burns. I have seen redness and superficial blistering, but that has been rare. Best of luck!

Miradry will work well to reduce excess sweating in the axillary area. The technology minimizes the risks of burning as the energy is applied deeper into tissue. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
