NEW TREND ALERT: Women are Microwaving Their Armpits

No seriously, this is an actual thing.  Women are MICROWAVING their armpits!  But it's not the latest trend to burn unwanted fat, or to even build new muscle or anything like that...

They're doing it to get rid of hair and sweat!

According to this TODAY SHOW article, it's called miraSmooth:

"The creators of miraSmooth, the treatment is noninvasive and can be completed within 60 minutes. The microwave energy is targeted at the interface between fat and skin where the sweat glands and hair follicles are located in the underarm area. It creates such intense heat that it destroys the glands and follicles entirely, preventing them from regenerating."

Now if you ask me, this all sounds a little too experimental.

Local anesthesia must be applied to the treatment area and the post microwave swelling could be so bad that your underarm looks like a grapefruit!  It will even also cost you a couple thousand dollars... so is it even worth it?
