Reading Time: <1 minuteThere are cosmetic surgery and beauty clinics that use MiraDry to treat patients who are concerned about the odor of the areola, known as chichiga. Unfortunately, as a specialist who has been treating chichiga for many years, I can say with certainty that it has almost no effect and is not a treatment that should ever be performed. In the first place, MiraDry treatment for chichiga is an off-label treatment, and the MiraDry sales device manufacturer, related academic societies, and the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare have all issued official opinions that it is not OK to perform MiraDry treatment on the delicate zone. The reason is that there have been cases of deaths occurring during MiraDry treatment of sensitive areas. The deaths occurred in the tragic MiraDry death cases, where patients who received MiraDry treatment developed infections from severe burns and died six days after the treatment. A business model has been created in which a treatment that is risky enough to cause death is advertised as easy and without downtime to attract customers, and then performed by nurses called beauty nurses, who make a profit. MiraDry not performed by doctors... is it legitimate medical treatment? Many patients who have come to our clinic are victims of MiraDry for which it is not recommended, including those who suffered burns after receiving MiraDry, and those who suffered from severe pain with no results at all. The areola area is particularly sensitive to pain, and after MiraDry, unbearable pain and severe swelling appear. A cosmetic surgery clinic that provides such taboo treatments for profit is truly a dishonest cosmetic surgery clinic. Please be careful!
