Extensive burns due to the application of heat energy to the delicate area by MiraDry. Third-degree burns will cause skin necrosis and infection is inevitable. The important point in this fatal accident, or rather fatal incident, is who performed the treatment? It is likely to have been a nurse. A doctor would be able to tell from the condition of the skin during the treatment that a burn had occurred, but a nurse would not be able to tell. This is because they have no experience in examining or treating burns. If a nurse with poor medical knowledge and experience had performed the treatment, it would not be a medical accident, but a criminal act. I think the victim was harmed by the nurse's treatment. Treatment must be performed by a doctor, and this MiraDry device is a medical device. It is a medical device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as a treatment device for primary axillary hyperhidrosis. If a nurse uses this medical device to treat a non-targeted case in a non-targeted area, it is only natural that they would be charged with violating the Medical Practitioners Act. Nurse treatment is truly terrifying and can even cause fatalities. Behind this is profit-firstism. Nurses with low hourly wages attract patients with exaggerated advertising and perform careless treatments to increase profits. If we think about the patients, it is absolutely unthinkable for nurses to perform treatments. It is questionable whether legitimate medical procedures or cosmetic medicine are being performed at medical institutions where nurses perform treatments. We hope that this incident will become widely known, and that the reality of the MiraDry armpit odor business will be clarified and that guidance will be given from the government. I think that this fatal accident is a case that should be charged with professional negligence resulting in death as a fatal incident. It will also cause great damage to the entire cosmetic medicine industry. Armpit odor treatment should be performed by the same doctor from start to finish, with responsibility for both safety and effectiveness. Of course. At our hospital, Director Suetake Nobuhiro promises safety and satisfactory results for patients and performs treatments carefully. There is no way that a nurse will perform the treatment, so please feel free to consult us. Unfortunately, we would like to pray for the repose of the souls of the patients who died from MiraDry treatments. We will spread awareness of the horror of MiraDry performed by nurses so that such tragic accidents will never occur again.
