miraDry

miraDry is a non-surgical treatment that uses the miraDry system, which delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to create heat in the areas where sweat and odor glands reside beneath the skin’s surface. This process targets and permanently eliminates both sweat and odor glands in the underarms—odor glands being responsible for body odor. Once destroyed, these sweat and odor glands do not grow back, resulting in long-term reduction of underarm sweat and odor. The miraDry system also features a cooling mechanism that protects the skin and surrounding tissue during the procedure.

miraDry treats only the underarm sweat and odor glands, which make up a small percentage of your body’s total sweat production. The rest of your sweat glands, located elsewhere beneath the skin’s surface, continue to function normally, allowing your body to regulate temperature naturally.

miraDry is a hyperhidrosis treatment specifically designed to treat excessive sweating in the underarms. While miraDry is primarily used to treat hyperhidrosis, it is also chosen by individuals who want to eliminate the need for daily antiperspirants.
It is not used to treat excessive sweating in other areas of the body. If sweating in other areas is a concern, we can discuss alternative hyperhidrosis treatment options during your consultation.

miraDry offers several advantages:

Permanent reduction of underarm sweat and odor

Non-surgical treatment with no incisions

Immediate improvement after treatment

Minimal downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities the same day

Patient comfort is prioritized, with local anesthesia used to ensure a comfortable experience during the procedure

Most patients experience immediate results and notice a reduction in sweat immediately after the procedure

You can typically resume exercise and normal activities within a few days after treatment

Many patients also notice a reduction in underarm hair as an added benefit.

After treatment, patients experience minimal discomfort and a quick recovery process. Most patients typically resume their normal activities or work right after the procedure, and can typically resume exercise within several days.

The results from miraDry are long-lasting because the sweat glands in the treated areas don’t regenerate. Once you’ve completed the treatment, you can enjoy a life with less perspiration and odor for the long haul.

After treatment, common temporary side effects include localized soreness, swelling, redness, and numbness in the underarms or upper arms. Some patients may experience swelling, mild bruising, or short-term altered sensation in the skin of the underarms or upper arms, which gradually disappears within a few weeks. Localized soreness and swelling are normal and typically resolve within a few weeks after the procedure. Using ice packs is recommended to help manage discomfort and reduce swelling during recovery. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. To prepare, avoid heavy exercise or sweating for 24 hours before treatment, and wear loose clothing.

miraDry is an excellent option for patients who struggle with:

Excessive underarm sweating

Persistent underarm odor

Sweat that interferes with daily life or confidence

It’s commonly used to treat hyperhidrosis, but it’s also effective for anyone looking to significantly reduce underarm sweat and odor. Your consultation will confirm whether miraDry is appropriate for you.

Curious about the procedure? Here’s what you can expect: Local anesthesia is administered to the underarms prior to the miraDry medical procedure to ensure patient comfort. After this preparation, the miraDry handpiece is applied to your underarm, delivering microwave energy to target and destroy the sweat glands. Most patients experience little pain because the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and patients experience minimal discomfort and downtime, typically able to resume daily activities immediately. The procedure typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes per session and has a strong safety record, having been used in over 150,000 treatments worldwide. Removing a small percentage of sweat glands in the underarms does not affect the body’s ability to cool itself, as the majority of sweat glands remain elsewhere to regulate temperature.

Most clients achieve their desired sweat and odor reduction with one session, but in some cases, a follow-up “touch up” might be recommended for optimal symmetry. You’ll typically notice a reduction in underarm sweating almost immediately, with continued improvement over the next several weeks as the body adjusts.
