miraDry is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to eliminate sweat and odor glands. miraDry is a game changer for those who suffer from chronic sweating, because it permanently eliminates underarm seat.
We use a local anesthetic to numb the area so there is minimal discomfort during the procedure. Treatment time is about 2 hours, and there is generally an immediate decrease in sweat. miraDry is considered a very safe and effective treatment for hyperhidrosis.
The miraDry system delivers controlled electromagnetic energy below the surface of the skin, to heat up and destroy sweat and odor glands. The device also has a built-in cooling mechanism that protects the surface of the skin, while the glands are being heated.
While your body does need sweat glands to cool itself, your body has 2-4 million sweat glands and only about 2% are found in your underarms. Eliminating 2% of sweat glands does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself. After miraDry, you will experience the many benefits of reducing sweat in the underarm area, but you will continue to sweat normally in other areas of your body.
You can expect immediate and lasting results. Once the miraDry treatment eliminates the sweat and odor glands, they’re gone for good. The treatment is clinically proven to have an average of 82% sweat reduction and 89% odor reduction. As with any aesthetic treatment, patient results and experiences may vary.
