Reading Time: <1 minuteThe truth about MiraDry in treating underarm odor: A thorough explanation of its effectiveness and risks Every week, many patients undergo MiraDry treatment to treat underarm odor. However, unfortunately, there is a steady stream of patients who do not see any results and come to our clinic from all over the country to ask about retreatment.
