  • Impairs daily activities
  • Frequency of at least one episode per week
  • Age of onset less than 25 years old

  • Subject has hyperhidrosis on the trunk or chest.
  • Subject has evidence of active infection.
  • Prior endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, liposuction or other surgery for axillary hyperhidrosis.
  • Axillary injection of botulinum toxin within one year preceding the miraDry treatment.
  • Oral anticholinergic medication use (e.g., Robinul) or cholomimetic medication use within the last 4 weeks or planned use during the study's follow up phase.
