Reading Time: <1 minuteIn recent years, non-surgical, non-blood-based treatments that do not use a scalpel have been developed for the treatment of body odor and hyperhidrosis, and treatments with little downtime have become popular. Currently, there are the following methods for treating body odor. 1. Surgery 2. MiraDry 3. ViewHot 4. EL method 5. Botox injections 6. Topical medications Each method has its own disadvantages and advantages. At our clinic, we perform treatments 4, 5, and 6, and our patients are satisfied with them. All of these treatments have no downtime, and patients can take a bath or do light sports from the same day, and there is no postoperative swelling. Unfortunately, more than half of our patients who visit us for the first time are visiting us for recurrence of MiraDry or ViewHot or for scar correction treatment. Many medical institutions use MiraDry, but the reality is that most of them are performed by nurses. In other words, nurses are performing treatments that should be performed by doctors. Nurses can perform injections, assist with procedures, and perform hair removal under the supervision of doctors, but are not allowed to perform treatments. In particular, treatments that apply large amounts of heat energy to the body to destroy sweat glands are risky. I think that most of the supervising doctors have never treated armpit odor themselves or even performed surgery. As a cosmetic surgeon, I have performed more than 1,500 armpit odor surgeries and am confident that the number of cases is among the highest in Japan. I have been treating armpit odor for over 30 years and have responded to the concerns of all kinds of patients. Recently, business-first doctors with no knowledge of armpit odor are leaving the treatment to nurses and making corrections, which is the wrong kind of cosmetic medicine. Local anesthesia also has risks. There have been cases of xylocaine poisoning after a large amount of 2% xylocaine was injected. I would like you to refrain from believing advertisements and undergoing treatment easily. The doctor who first explained the treatment should guarantee safety and effectiveness until the end. I see advertisements that say that MiraDry is painless, does not use a scalpel, and is safe and has little downtime, but that is absolutely not the case. Since it is a treatment that applies heat to the skin, burns occur to a certain extent and the pain and swelling are more than surgery. It is never painless and has no downtime. In fact, the pain is much stronger than surgery and there is swelling. It's not that it's ineffective, but I think that MiraDry treatment performed by a nurse should be done with caution. If there are any doctors out there who really think that MiraDry treatment should be performed by a nurse, I would appreciate it if you would contact me. I would like to discuss the illegality, risks, problems, and effectiveness of the treatment in detail.
