Edit miradry hyperhidrosis

<p><strong>We know that there are other treatments available for hyperhidrosis, such as stronger antiperspirants, botulinum toxins and iontophoresis. What are the advantages that miraDry brings to patients that aren’t available with the other treatment options?</strong></p> <p>So other treatments for hyperhidrosis are temporary, or they may have adverse effects, like the topical antiperspirants may cause some irritation or rashes to the skin.</p> <p><a title="Information on botulinum toxin injections" href="http://www.consultingroom.com/treatments/botulinum-toxin" target="_self">Botulinum toxin</a> (<a title="Botox Injection Information" href="http://www.consultingroom.com/treatments/botox" target="_self">Botox®</a>) injections are not covered by health insurance most of the time (in the USA), and it’s very expensive because it has to be repeated every six to nine months because it wears off. Plus it does require needle injections and a lot of people don’t want to have repeat needle injections.</p> <p>There are pills that one can use and the pills do work, however for some people they have to take such a high dose of the pills they start to get dry mouth and dry eyes and that’s a problem because then they have more side effects that don’t make it worth taking the medication.</p> <p>With the miraDry sensor, it’s not invasive, it’s a treatment that can be done on an out-patient basis within 60 to 90 minutes.</p> <p>Patients have a little bit of swelling for maybe three days or so, but other than that they can do their normal activities.</p> <p>We just want them to take it easy for a few days afterwards and maybe take some Ibuprofen, but mostly they are back to work and they don’t have a big amount of downtime with this and it’s lasting. </p> <p>So once they’ve had the treatment done, after two treatments, if they have that 90% reduction it’s going to be permanent because you can’t re-grow these sweat glands.</p> <p>And you don’t need them either, they’re over-active sweat glands, so just so you know they will sweat normally everywhere else, and you will be able to regulate your body temperature, these are for people who are really sweat bothered or have four to five times the amount of perspiration produced abnormally in their underarms.</p>
