Does having Miradry make sweat increase in other areas of your body?

This is a great question! Your body has 2-4 million sweat glands – only about 2% are found in your underarms. Eliminating this 2% of sweat glands does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself. With miraDry, you will experience the many benefits of reducing sweat in the underarm area, but you will continue to sweat in other areas of your body as normal. At Capizzi M.D. Cosmetic Surgery and Skincare,we only provide services that work, and we are huge advocates for the miraDry technology! Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question!  Only about 2% of sweat glands are located in the underarm.  MiraDry is FDA approved to safely and permanently reduce the sweat and odor glands in the underarm area.  Compensatory sweating is not typical after MiraDry. Best Regards, Dr. Aldo :-)   

Compensatory sweating is not typical after a MiraDry procedure.  You are born with approximately 2 million sweat glands throughout your body. Your underarms only contain about 2% of those glands. With miraDry you will experience the many benefits of stopping sweat in the underarm area, but you will continue to sweat elsewhere.  However, since the sweat glands are only 2% in the underarm region, it will not cause a noticeable increase in compensatory sweating in the body. Good Luck!
