Is level 5 for miraDry the standard now for treatment?

Question

I have been researching getting Miradry for my underarm hyperhydrosis and found this website. i read in some of the reviews that level 5 is now the standard setting to achieve the most effective treatment. Is this true? Are there other factors that would require a patient to receive a lower level treatment?

Level 5 is absolutely the new standard, used with tumescent protocol.  Having it at level 5 all the way helps reduce the need for multiple procedures.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

Great question!  At this time, a Level 5 setting for MiraDry is the highest energy setting and is safe and well tolerated.  Many patients only require a single treatment using this setting.  Those with severe hyperhidrosis may require additional treatments.  Speak with your provider, and communicate during the procedure if you experience any discomfort.  Good luck!  Dr. Aldo :-)

MiraDry is a new generation of technology that
is only available in medical practices for the permanent elimination of sweat
and odor glands for men and women bothered by their underarm sweat. It’s a
quick in-office treatment providing immediate and permanent results with
minimal to no downtime. miraDry® is FDA cleared for eliminating underarm sweat.
It is non-invasive, requires minimal to no downtime, with permanent results. We find the best results with the fewest amount of treatments (1 or 2) to be when the entire treatment is done at the highest possible frequency of energy ( level 5).#Miradryprotocols    #treatingunderarmsweat   #treatingunderarmodor

MiraDry® is FDA cleared for eliminating underarm
sweat. It is non-invasive, requires minimal to no downtime, with permanent
results. MiraDry uses electromagnetic energy which is proven to be the ideal
method for treating the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. It creates
targeted heat in the area where glands reside and safely eliminates them.   The newest studies show that treating at Level 5 is safe and highly effective.#excessivesweating   #Miradrytreatments   #sweatelimination

Thank you for your question. We were one of the first providers in Houston to have miraDry. We now routinely use the level five energy setting which is the highest level. We have found that by modifying our Anesthesia technique, we can do this safely without risk of injury to the underlying structures. The Anesthesia component is very important, and not all offices are able to offer this.
