Are there any side effect for miradry? What are they ?

MiraDry is an FDA approved technology which is safe and effective for reducing sweaty underarm areas. when the sweat glands are gone, the patient also does not have to wear anti-perspirant. With one treatment, the average patients gets about an 80% reduction in sweat and odor. A second treatment could take you higher.Temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, discomfort and tightness. In some cases, scar tissue can build up under the skin, but this goes away with massage.Rarely are there permanent or long term side effects. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

MiraDry is the only FDA cleared aesthetic treatment for the permanent elimination of underarm sweat and odor glands. It’s a quick in-office treatment providing immediate and permanent sweat and odor elimination with minimal to no downtime. Sweat and odor glands under the arms are removed safely with MiraDry proprietary electromagnetic technology.Side effects include:Swelling in
the treated area Temporary
altered sensation or tingling in the treated skin and/or upper arm (can last
for several months)Discomfort,
tenderness or pain in the underarm when touched (treatable with
non-prescription medications such as ibuprofen)Redness from the
device suctionBruising at the
numbing injection sitesBumps under the
treated skin (can last for several months)Partial underarm
hair loss (may be long-lasting)













Typically,
patients may see a reduction in underarm sweat in as little as one
treatment.  In controlled clinical trials
between 70% and 90% of subjects saw a significant reduction in their underarm
sweat after an average of two treatments, and virtually all the subjects
achieved some reduction.

Common side effects we see in our office are: bruising, swelling, "lumpiness" and tenderness. These will usually subside within the first 2 weeks, but can last up to 6 weeks. You may also experience a decrease in your underarm hair, which for many of our patient is an added bonus. We commonly treat the swelling and tenderness with Ibuprofen and Tylenol, and tell our patients to ice on and off as much as possible for the first week. If at anytime you feel your symptoms worsening, please do not hesitate to re-visit your healthcare professional for evaluation and treatment.I hope this helps, be well.#sideeffects   #commonsymptoms   #miradry

Since we are located in Houston, as a result of the excessively humid climate, we have treated many patients with excessive underarm sweating with excellent results. Miradry is the only FDA approved modality for the permanent reduction in underarm sweat and odor. The procedure itself takes approximately 1 hour to perform in the office. It is painless. A secondary benefit of Miradry is thinning of hair in the underarm area. There are certain minor side effects that patients report. These include possible bruising, redness, and small lumps in the treated area. We instruct our patient to apply ice and use NSAIDS such as Motrin to help with the discomfort for a few days after the procedure.  Best wishes,Dr. Ravi Somayazula
