Increased sweating elsewhere on the body DOES NOT occur with miraDry. Only 2-3% of the sweat glands in the body are located in the underarms. The phenomenon of increased sweating elsewhere on the body, known as compensatory sweating, is seen with surgical procedures for sweating, such as a thoracic sympathectomy.
We have never had any of our patients report compensatory sweating after Miradry. The likelihood of this with surgical sweat reduction procedures is much greater. Miradry has shown us over and over again that it is an extremely effective and safe alternative to invasive sweat reduction procedures.
