If you suffer from hyperhidrosis (otherwise known as excessive sweating), you may feel like you’ve tried every treatment out there – all without good results. But if you haven’t heard of miraDry yet, then it’s time to introduce yourself to a lightning-fast procedure that can end excessive sweating…
For good.
What is miraDry?
miraDry is an FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis; it uses electromagnetic energy to effectively destroy the overactive glands that cause excessive sweating. Once those sweat glands are gone, so is the excessive sweating – and that brings about the kind of relief you just can’t get from antiperspirants.
The procedure is pretty straightforward. A local anesthetic is used to treat the underarm area, which helps keep the patient comfortable throughout the two-hour procedure. A small incision is made, which allows a tiny device to be passed through right to the treatment site. The end of the tube delivers pulses of electromagnetic energy. By the end of the procedure, most – if not all – sweat glands are destroyed.
Patients notice an immediate improvement in sweating. Most patients need only one procedure, although more extreme cases may require two treatments.

If you suffer from excessive underarm sweating, you know just how debilitating this condition can be. From the moment you leave your home, you have to plan your life around your underarm sweating.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? You bring a change of shirts; you only wear shirts that won’t show too much of your sweat; and you find yourself turning down spur-of-the-moment social invites because you’re too self-conscious about your underarms.
If you identified yourself in any of the above scenarios, you’re not alone. Excessive underarm sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis) is caused by overactive sweat glands that misinterpret the brain’s nerve signals. As a result, patients find themselves dripping with sweat, even when they’re not hot or engaging in physical activity.
At Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. and Aesthetic Center, our dermatologists can help you find long-lasting solutions to your excessive underarm sweating. One of our most popular and advanced treatments is miraDry, an FDA-cleared treatment for hyperhidrosis.
This system works by delivering controlled electromagnetic energy to the overactive sweat glands. This energy heats up and eventually destroys the sweat glands, thus alleviating the patient’s sweating issues. Most clients only need one miraDry treatment to see ideal results; severe cases may require two rounds of treatments, which are spaced three months apart. Patients should expect to experience tenderness and swelling after the first treatment; these side effects typically resolve themselves within two to three days.
Most patients can see up to an 85 percent reduction in sweating after the very first treatment. While results aren’t permanent, they are long lasting and can provide significant relief.
