Why does miraDry cause so much pain and downtime?


Reading Time: <1 minuteMost patients who have undergone MiraDry have said that the pain and swelling was much more severe than they expected, lasted for a long time, was so severe that it interfered with their daily life, and they never want to undergo MiraDry treatment again...However, the feedback we have received is completely different to what is advertised, such as minimal pain, no downtime, and no interference with daily life.

We will explain why such pain and swelling occurs despite the treatment not involving a scalpel, and how it interferes with daily life.

MiraDry is a treatment device that uses microwave heat energy to destroy sweat glands.

However, a major drawback is that it cannot selectively destroy sweat glands, and can cause severe thermal damage, or burns, in areas of the skin that are not related to normal sweat glands.

Burns are the most painful and swollen of all injuries and skin insults.

It is easy to imagine that burns over a large area of the armpits would cause unbearable pain and swelling.

Furthermore, if you try to destroy the apocrine sweat glands in the subcutaneous tissue using thermal energy, the amount of energy used will be so strong that there is a risk of causing third-degree burns.

The MiraDry fatal accident occurred because of this, causing skin necrosis and the patient to die from infection and subsequent sepsis.

MiraDry is far from a safe, easy, painless treatment with no downtime.

Any specialist knows this as common knowledge that it is more painful than surgery for underarm odor.

After surgery for axillary odor, there will be almost no pain unless a hematoma forms.

The dark side of cosmetic medicine is that the benefits of MiraDry treatment, which has such high risks, severe pain, severe swelling, and long downtime, are exaggerated, claiming it is effective against underarm odor when it is actually ineffective, and doctors who are not underarm odor specialists are having nurses perform the treatment carelessly.

At our hospital, many patients who have undergone MiraDry treatment come back for follow-up treatment because they find it ineffective and the severe pain makes it a treatment they never want to undergo again.

At our clinic, we can reliably treat underarm odor using the selective EL method, which is specially designed to be painless.

The EL method is not only painless, but also causes no swelling or downtime, and is safe, and can be performed by a specialist with the expectation of permanent treatment results.

Skin after miraDry


Reading Time: <1 minuteWe treat patients after MiraDry treatment almost every day, and after MiraDry treatment, scars from burns are present in the dermis and are extremely hard.

For this reason, even local anesthesia, which normally causes almost no pain, can cause pain.

Treatment also requires inserting a needle into the pores where the scar is located, which takes time and is more difficult.

If you undergo MiraDry treatment, which does not offer any permanent odor reduction benefits, it will not only cause financial damage but will also be a major negative impact.

It may be an excellent device for treating underarm sweat, but it is absolutely not recommended for treating underarm odor.

Nipples and groins are out of the question.

As a specialist who has been treating underarm odor for many years, I can state with certainty that this is not a treatment that should be undertaken.

The areola and delicate areas are very sensitive, so if they are burned, it will not only cause pain but also swelling, and if it becomes a third-degree burn, it can cause skin necrosis, which can lead to irreversible damage.

The nurse does not know the extent or condition of the burns.

Naturally, problems will arise if treatment is performed by a nurse who does not understand the procedure.

Treatment for underarm odor, breast odor, and groin odor should always be performed by a specialist, not a nurse.

Please be careful! !!

MiraDry Lies! Don't be fooled!


Reading Time: <1 minuteWe receive inquiries from patients after MiraDry treatment almost daily.

I have tried treatment for underarm odor, nipple odor, and groin odor, but it was completely ineffective. The condition has recurred, so the treatment was pointless. I was left with scars like burns.

As I have explained in my blog so far, MiraDry treatment is a device for treating a condition called primary axillary hyperhidrosis, and is not effective in treating body odor.

In particular, when the treatment is performed by a nurse, not only can no effect be expected, but the risk of serious complications increases and even fatal accidents have occurred.

There are many medical institutions that advertise that the procedure is safe and has no downtime, but we can say with certainty that all of this is exaggerated.

Why is it possible to promote this type of treatment by having nurses perform the procedures?

How can MiraDry treatment, which has even caused tragic fatalities, have such safe downtime?

MiraDry treatment usually causes severe swelling and pain after the procedure, so how can it be said to be a painless downtime treatment?

It is a big question why they advertise and post completely contradictory information on their website.

Many other doctors besides me have also stated that MiraDry is ineffective and poses risks when treating underarm odor.

It is ethically questionable for a doctor who has never performed an underarm odor surgery to leave the MiraDry procedure to a nurse.
v Is it strange that a doctor who also performed surgery would perform MiraDry treatment?

Dr. Matayoshi of Cynthia Clinic also explains in detail the ineffectiveness of MiraDry on his YouTube channel.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has not approved it as a treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has only approved it for primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Moreover, it must be administered by a doctor.

It is not supposed to be administered by nurses. Clinical trials have not shown any improvement in odor. It is also clearly stated on the relevant website that it has no effect on reducing odor.

  Don't be fooled!!

With MiraDry, it is difficult to inflict thermal damage on the apocrine sweat glands, and exposure to high energy levels can cause third-degree burns.

Please be aware that there is a recently opened cosmetic surgery clinic in Sakae, Nagoya, run by a former internist (with about a year of experience as a cosmetic surgeon) that rejects the EL method used at our clinic and instead uses MiraDry, so please be aware of this.
Furthermore, this clinic recommends MiraDry treatment to patients, saying that it is also suitable for use on the nipples and groin.

I strongly question the ethics of doctors when it comes to off-label treatments that should never be performed. Several academic societies have also issued warnings!!

Treatment after miraDry procedure


Reading Time: <1 minuteEvery day, we provide retreatment to patients who have undergone MiraDry treatment for underarm odor but have experienced recurrences or have experienced ineffective treatment.

There are so many cosmetic surgery clinics that advertise and attract customers with revolutionary effectiveness such as no downtime, 1-XNUMX% reduction in pain after one session, almost no recurrence, and little pain, but the doctors do not perform any procedures, and nurses do all the procedures...

Every day, we hear from many patients who have undergone MiraDry treatment and have suffered from the following: scars (burn scars), ineffectiveness, severe swelling, and downtime.

MiraDry treatment causes the most post-treatment swelling and pain of any treatment.

Every day I am amazed at the number of patients who are unaware of the risks and downtime involved and end up receiving treatment from nurses without being informed.

Of course, it is possible to treat underarm odor after MiraDry treatment.

However, it is also true that after MiraDry treatment, scar contracture may occur due to burns to the dermis, and the skin may harden, making retreatment very difficult.

It's truly disappointing, as I thought that if I had received treatment with the EL method from the first time, my underarm odor would have been cured safely, effectively, with no downtime and almost no pain.

MiraDry is not an effective treatment for underarm odor, nipple odor, or groin odor.

It is the only effective treatment for underarm sweating called primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

Its safety and effectiveness have not been confirmed at all for use on breast and groin cancer, and the fatal accident involving groin cancer was a tragic medical accident that was bound to happen.

After MiraDry, patients' skin becomes very hard due to scar contracture, making anesthesia difficult.

Normally, anesthesia is administered so that you hardly feel any pain, but after undergoing MiraDry, it is not uncommon to experience pain during the anesthesia.

You should never undergo MiraDry treatment for anything other than treating underarm sweat.

Would you like to be treated by a nurse at a medical institution headed by a doctor who has never performed surgery or treatment for underarm odor?

Would you like to receive treatment directly from a specialist who has been specializing in over 1,500 underarm odor surgeries and thousands of treatments for underarm odor, nipple odor, and groin odor for many years, with the guarantee of safety and effectiveness?

It is up to the patient to decide, but with so much advertisement out there that deceives the less informed, it may be difficult to find a treatment for underarm odor, nipple odor, or groin odor that is truly safe and effective and requires no downtime.

I hope that my blog will reach patients who suffer from odors such as underarm odor, breast odor, and groin odor.

If you have had MiraDry treatment but are experiencing poor results, please do not give up and feel free to contact us.

Underarm odor, breast odor, and groin odor can definitely be cured. Nurses cannot cure them and there are great risks involved.

The pros and cons of MiraDry treatment


Reading Time: <1 minuteAlthough I have previously expressed negative views about MiraDry treatment on my blog, I would never dismiss the MiraDry device or its use to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
It would be fantastic if underarm sweat could be significantly reduced over a lifetime with just one treatment, and if this can be achieved with a treatment device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, then it would be a fantastic treatment method and a fantastic treatment device.
What concerns me is that there are so many cosmetic surgeons who tell their patients things that are not true and who run the MiraDry underarm odor business with profit as their priority rather than putting the patient first.
1: There is no pain after MiraDry treatment and little downtime → This is a lie. The skin in the treatment area will be burned to some extent, causing severe swelling and pain.
2: MiraDry is safe because it does not require surgery. → It's a lie. Surgery does have the risk of hematoma and skin necrosis, but the same is true for MiraDry. If strong energy is applied to the skin, third-degree burns can occur, causing skin necrosis, just like surgery.
3: MiraDry is a treatment device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for underarm odor. → This is a lie. MiraDry is a device for treating hyperhidrosis, primary axillary hyperhidrosis, not axillary hyperodour. It is clearly stated that no improvement in odour was seen in clinical trials.
4: MiraDry is also effective for nipple and groin follicles.
→ It's a lie. In the first place, the odor reduction effect is weak or almost nonexistent. Also, MiraDry is not suitable for the areola or delicate areas.
5: MiraDry eliminates most odor after just one use.
→ That's a lie. You usually can't expect odor reduction after just one use.
6. MiraDry is so safe that it can be performed by nurses. → In my personal opinion, this is a violation of the Medical Practitioners Act. In particular, there are some clinics where nurses are performing MiraDry treatments on their own, even though there is no doctor on-site.
Because the procedure is performed by a nurse, the risks are greater, increasing the risk of serious complications such as skin necrosis.
Are there really patients who want to be treated by nurses?
Can we trust a doctor who entrusts treatment to a nurse?
Nurses likely have no knowledge of body odor or experience treating it with surgery, topical medications, injections, etc.
The MiraDry underarm odor business was the cause of the fatal accident in the first place.
7: MiraDry can be safely and painlessly used on children with underarm odor. → This is a lie. For children, it is not rare for them to experience unbearable pain after the treatment. They also suffer from severe swelling and are unable to focus on their studies.
In this way, it is not that MiraDry treatment or the treatment equipment is bad, but rather that behavior that is problematic from a medical ethics perspective, such as telling patients false information and having nurses perform treatment, is not allowed.
Even with excellent treatment equipment, if a nurse treats an inappropriate case or an inappropriate area, disastrous results await.
If you cut your finger with a scalpel, no one would say that the scalpel is bad.
Did the manufacturer develop and sell MiraDry with nurses in mind?
Did the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare also approve MiraDry as an treatment device with the expectation that it would be performed by nurses?
I have a big question.
We have a constant stream of patients who come to our hospital for follow-up treatment after receiving MiraDry treatment for so long that they end up with burns, or say that the pain was so severe that they never want to undergo the treatment again, or that it was completely ineffective.
Once again, we would like you to carefully consider whether or not to undergo MiraDry treatment for underarm odor, nipple odor, or groin odor, rather than for hyperhidrosis.
I criticize the treatment by nurses, but I have been cleaning up the aftermath for many years. If there are any doctors or nurses who disagree with my opinion, I would be happy to discuss it on my blog using their real names.
We will respond at any time contact@sakae-clinic.com We would appreciate it if you could contact us at.

MiraDry is not effective for children's underarm odor


Reading Time: <1 minuteThere are beauty clinics that use MiraDry to treat underarm odor in elementary school children, but this is outrageous.
Not only is it completely ineffective, but the severe swelling and pain after the procedure can be so traumatic that you will never receive underarm odor treatment again.
Does MiraDry hurt? Is there no downtime?

Is a lie!

If MiraDry treatment is performed over a wide area, the treatment area will become burned, resulting in severe swelling and pain.
For many people, the pain and swelling is so severe that it is incomparable to the pain after surgery, and it interferes with their daily lives.
MiraDry surgery is an excruciatingly painful procedure even for adults, so I question the lack of ethics and morals of doctors in having nurses perform it on children, telling them that it is painless and there is no downtime.
Any specialist who is specialized in treating body odor will surely know that body odor in children is prone to recurrence and is more difficult to treat than in adults.

MiraDry underarm odor business...

There are many underarm odor treatment businesses that prioritize profit over putting patients first.
Please check the background of the director of the cosmetic surgery clinic that has a nurse perform MiraDry on children. Many of them have almost no experience with underarm odor surgery or treatment, so you cannot trust them.
Many patients from all over the country who received MiraDry treatment from nurses but were left with burn scars or had no effect at all come to our clinic hoping to receive EL method treatment.
The EL method is painless, causes no swelling, has permanent results, and leaves no scars.
If you are concerned about your child's body odor, please feel free to consult our clinic.
Nurses do not provide any treatment or medical care.
The director of the clinic, Dr. Suetake, is a specialist and will provide detailed explanations and treatment.
