Is second Miradry treatment going to make a difference?

Question

I had the Miradry done about a week ago. I've seen quite a few reviews where people said their sweating had stopped completely. Mine didn't. I still sweat!! Maybe not as much as I used to (still need to test it in FL heat), but definitely more than I expected. I had Miradry done on level 5. I am unsure whether I should bother with a second treatment. Level 5 obviously didn't destroy my sweat glads. Why would it do it next time?

I appreciate your question. Excessive sweating from the underarms can be a real problem. There are two solutions currently including neuromodulators (Botox & Dysport) and MiraDry. When using MiraDry it is common to require a second treatment. Most people only need one treatment (72%) while much less require a second ( 28%) treatment. So far, this is the best technology that has been developed fot his issue. We have had great success with MiraDry and it is a the only permanent underarm treatment solution.

Many of our patients need a second round of Miradry and this is quite normal. Miradry is an extremely effective treatment and some patients just need more of it. I would say...Go for it. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

About 80% of people will stop sweating with only one miraDry treatment.  20% will need a second treatment.  Go ahead and get it done.  You will be happy.

Hi and thank you for your question! We have some patients who are happy after one treatment, but many who need a 2nd treatment, even at level 5. The two treatments are need most often in patients who had more sweating or odor to begin with. I had the treatment myself and have been thrilled with my results. I have had one so far and plan to do my second after three months. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
