Reading Time: <1 minuteNearly 30% of our consultations regarding armpit odor treatment are for children under junior high school age. There are some important points to keep in mind when treating armpit odor in children. The treatment method and number of treatments are slightly different from those for adults. When treating children under junior high school age, 1: Anesthesia that is as painless as possible, and postoperative care, 2: Treatment takes longer than for adults, 3: There is a high possibility of recurrence, and 4: Downtime care is more important than for adults. In particular, in the case of elementary school children, the effects may be inferior to those of adults, so it is also important to decide when to start treatment. We once had an elementary school patient who was persuaded by a certain medical institution that MiraDry is painless and received MiraDry treatment. The pain and severe swelling were so severe that he was unable to move his arm at all for several days, and he was unable to go to school. It seems that he was told before the surgery that there was no swelling, no pain, and no downtime. Moreover, the person in charge was a nurse. If you think about it, it is clear whether it is legitimate to falsely tell an elementary school student that it is a painless treatment and have a nurse perform MiraDry treatment, which is very painful after the treatment. MiraDry has a weaker inhibitory effect on odor than on sweat, and in many cases, it is completely ineffective when administered by a nurse. MiraDry is a treatment that causes mild burns to the skin and destroys the sweat glands with heat energy. It is medical common knowledge that burns are the most painful form of invasive treatment. To say that this is painless is a huge lie to deceive patients and lead them to undergo treatment. Children are often particularly sensitive to pain, and if they experience the intense pain of a MiraDry treatment once, they may never receive treatment for underarm odor again. I believe that MiraDry treatment for children is not suitable for use, just like treatment of the areola and delicate areas in adults. In particular, treatments performed by nurses are risky because they cannot accurately set the power or grasp the condition during surgery. Consideration of pain is also extremely important when treating underarm odor in children. If you are considering MiraDry treatment for your child, please be sure to check the pain. If there is a medical institution that performs MiraDry and says it is painless, you should never receive treatment at that institution. MiraDry treatment causes severe pain and swelling.
