How does the procedure work?
The miraDry treatment involves the use of a non-invasive, hand-held device that sends electromagnetic energy to the area below the skin’s surface. The treatment device directs the energy specifically to the area where the sweat and odor glands are located, destroying the glands – they are no longer functional, and will not grow back. Every person is different, and you may need more than one treatment to achieve the result you want — but even a first treatment will reduce the amount of sweat and odor your body produces. Your underarm area will be numbed prior to the procedure, so no pain is involved.
Safe, FDA-cleared and non-invasive, miraDry® provides a permanent solution to excessive or simply bothersome underarm sweating, with an over 90% success rate after just two one-hour treatments. Downtime is minimal, and the results are life-changing.
Who is a candidate for miraDry?
Some people are more prone to sweat . If you feel that excessive underarm sweat (and odor) is having a negative impact on your daily life, you are probably a candidate for this treatment. Typically, miraDry could be the answer if you suffer from any of the following conditions:
- You suffer from axillary hyperhidrosis
- You need to change your clothing often due to excess underarm sweat
- Antiperspirants do not resolve the issue
