Reading Time: <1 minuteI have warned many times on my blog about the MiraDry armpit odor business, but cases of fatal accidents after using MiraDry have been made public, and the Japan Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (JSAPS) has also posted a warning on its website. It is a complete lie that MiraDry is a safe and reliable armpit odor treatment device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. There are many beauty clinics that misuse such lies in their PR, and many patients have been victimized and have paid high medical costs. It is possible that the treatment was performed by a nurse, but it is unclear who was in charge. It is clear that the treatment is horrible for a nurse and goes against medical ethics.
Caution regarding proper use of miraDry®, an approved medical device (jsaps.com)
A healthy woman who underwent miraDry® treatment of the perineum, genitals and perianal area due to body odor developed severe side effects after treatment, including persistent fever, persistent pain and bleeding from the treatment area, and died on the sixth day due to rapid deterioration of her general condition, possibly due to Fournier's gangrene complicated by toxic shock-like syndrome.

MiraDry has not been proven effective against body odor, and is not recommended for use on areas other than the armpits. In other words, it is assumed that MiraDry was performed on an inappropriate area, where it is not effective and carries risks, causing extensive burns, which led to a necrotizing infection and death. There is a risk that if MiraDry is used for treatment that is not intended for its intended purpose, i.e. to improve body odor, it could lead to tragic results. This medical institution was probably not prioritizing profits by providing sloppy treatment and care. This tragic death should have happened. MiraDry has not been proven effective against body odor, and is not recommended for use outside of its intended purpose, as it poses the risk of burns. Many victims of the MiraDry body odor business have visited our hospital. Never use MiraDry to treat body odor. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's website also clearly states that MiraDry is not effective against body odor. I can say this with confidence as a specialist who has been treating body odor as a cosmetic surgeon for 35 years. [MiraDry is not only a treatment that is extremely ineffective or completely ineffective against body odor, but also has many problems with nurses administering it, and is absolutely not recommended as a medical procedure! ! If it is performed in an unsuitable place, there is a risk of death.] I would like to see the slogan "approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare" and advertising that MiraDry is effective against body odor as if it were an approved treatment device by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to stop immediately. Medical institutions that leave such risky treatment devices to nurses and have them administer them for unsuitable body odor are not performing legitimate medical procedures. The morals and skills of the doctors are questionable. If you have suffered damage from MiraDry treatment, please feel free to contact us. We sincerely pray for the repose of the souls of the patients who have unfortunately died from MiraDry treatment. We will spread awareness of the horror of MiraDry administered by nurses so that such tragic accidents will never happen again. Suetake Nobuhiro, Director of Sakae Clinic
