Yesterday, a patient who had received counseling at a recently opened cosmetic surgery clinic in Sakae, Nagoya, who was attracted by the promotion that said "full-body MiraDry treatment available" came to our clinic for consultation.
When I asked him about it,The doctor at the clinic explained that "MiraDry is the most effective way to treat underarm odor, and is superior to Viewhot and the EL method."However, this is completely wrong information.
Is MiraDry ineffective against underarm odor? The shocking truth
Actually, the effectiveness of MiraDryOfficial information from the Ministry of Health, Labor and WelfareBut it is stated.
✅ MiraDry has a certain effect in reducing underarm sweat, but it has little effect in reducing underarm odor.
✅ Not suitable for areas such as the areola or hem
✅ The treatment is not intended to be performed by nurses, and even doctors have not recognized its effectiveness as a treatment for underarm odor.
Moreover, surprisinglyAt that clinic, nurses, rather than doctors, perform the MiraDry treatments.MiraDry was deemed ineffective even by doctors, so what would happen if a nurse were to administer it? You can imagine the results.
EL Method vs. MiraDry | Which is really more effective for underarm odor?
The EL method (Electrisis method) is an effective treatment established as a fundamental treatment for body odor..
On the other hand,MiraDry is ineffective against underarm odor, and the risk is even greater when performed by a nurseTo do.
Even the medical device manufacturer that sells MiraDryWe have never advertised that it is effective for underarm odor, breast odor, or groin odor.The effective disease is primary axillary hyperhidrosis. In addition, the relevant academic society has issued a warning about fatal accidents caused by MiraDry, and there are major concerns about its safety.
Do you have any doubts about the background of the doctors at this clinic?
Further investigation revealed problems with the background of the person believed to be the clinic's director.
🔹 Only 2-3 years of cosmetic surgery experience
🔹 Become a supervising doctor at a major cosmetic surgery clinic in one year? Then go to cosmetic dermatology?
🔹 Joined cosmetic surgery clinic in 2019 → Opened clinic in 2022
🔹 The base is a physician and has no experience with armpit surgery.
Like thisInexperienced "self-proclaimed cosmetic surgeons" are recommending the ineffective MiraDry and falsely describing the effective EL method as "ineffective."
You should be very careful of clinics that lie to their patients and recommend unfounded treatments for underarm odor.
