Reading Time: <1 minuteEvery week, I receive consultations from several patients after MiraDry treatment. Everyone says that the pain and swelling were so bad that they were really worried after the surgery... However, almost all advertisements are exaggerated, claiming that MiraDry is a treatment that does not use a scalpel, is less painful, and has little downtime. I have performed more than 1500 cases of armpit odor and hyperhidrosis surgery, and I have found that patients who complain of pain after surgery do not complain of pain, except for those who develop hematomas after surgery. In other words, there will be no pain after surgery that is of concern unless hematomas form. This is something that any doctor who has performed many armpit odor surgeries will understand. On the other hand, MiraDry is a system that uses microwaves to burn the surface. What about the pain if the entire armpit is burned? No scar is as painful as a burn. Of course, cuts and scrapes are painful, but they are not unbearable. Burns are not only unbearable pain, but also cause severe swelling. MiraDry is a treatment with a very large downtime. This is not a treatment that should ever be performed on children. There are many unscrupulous cosmetic surgery clinics that hide this fact, entrust all treatments to nurses called beauty nurses, and run armpit odor businesses that ignore safety and effectiveness. MiraDry, which has problems in all aspects, including safety, effectiveness, and downtime, is popular not because it is a great treatment, but because it is a treatment that makes quick money and ignores the interests of the patient. If it were truly an effective and great treatment, it would never be possible to have a nurse with no knowledge or skills called a beauty nurse perform the treatment. MiraDry treatment is performed as an armpit odor treatment that is not suitable for the purpose of making money. I would like many people to know that there is a lot of downtime before choosing it as an armpit odor treatment.
