Reading Time: <1 minuteMany clinics that use MiraDry are promoting and introducing the fact that it is a treatment device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. This approval means that it is a safe and reliable treatment device, but there is a catch. MiraDry is not approved for the treatment of "armpit odor, i.e., axillary hyperhidrosis," but is approved as a treatment device for "primary axillary hyperhidrosis, i.e., hyperhidrosis of the armpits." In other words, even though it has not been approved as a treatment device for armpit odor, the advertising language is misleading and cannot be helped, even if it is said to be deceiving trust. Even though it is not an armpit odor treatment device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for odor, it is inevitable that it can be considered a fraudulent act to attract customers by advertising it as effective against armpit odor. Moreover, it is surprising that there are facilities where nurses perform the treatment with MiraDry. There is a constant stream of patients who have received MiraDry multiple times at our clinic, and despite experiencing severe pain and severe swelling in the affected area, they feel no effect at all and come back for treatment again. If you look here to see whether the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has truly approved it as an effective device for treating underarm odor, you will clearly see that this is a lie. https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/shingi2/0000200760_00004.html "Regarding the indication for axillary odour, there is a certain need in Japan, so we discussed whether this indication should be approved in the review and expert consultation. As a result, as stated at the top of page 17 of the review report, we believe that it is possible to extrapolate for sweat, but as you all know, as for smell, Asians and Westerners have different body odors, so ethnic differences in the apocrine glands that emit smell cannot be denied. In addition, in the hyperhidrosis test, the primary evaluation item was definitely a subjective evaluation called HDSS. At least, there was an objective evaluation item set for the secondary evaluation item. In this CP-0012 test, the secondary evaluation item was basically a subjective evaluation, and another reason is that objective evaluation was not sufficient. As a result of this clinical trial, the achievement criteria for clinical trials could not be met for odor, so overall, we have concluded that the indication is approved for hyperhidrosis this time, and the effect of reducing odor was not recognized. " The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare clearly concluded that the effect of reducing hyperhidrosis and odor was not recognized. Hiding such facts and deceiving patients is an act of fraud. Nurse MiraDry BusinessHow many victims there are? The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has concluded that MiraDry treatment by nurses is ineffective in reducing odor. I would like to hear any rebuttals or opinions regarding this blog from medical institutions, doctors, and nurses who use MiraDry. In order to provide cosmetic medicine properly, I would like to see a review of MiraDry's false advertising and nurse treatment. Treatment is performed by doctors. Isn't it ethically and legally problematic for nurses to use treatment equipment to treat the condition of axillary hyperhidrosis, even under the supervision of a doctor? I would appreciate your advice and look forward to hearing from medical institutions that use MiraDry treatment.
