How Does It Work?

Don’t We Need Sweat Glands to Cool the Body?

This is actually a common misconception, which is easily explained and backed by years of research on hyperhidrosis. Our bodies contain an astounding 4,000,000 sweat glands which help expel sweat and toxins from our systems. With only a slight 2% of sweat glands present underneath the arms, there is no harm in removing glands associated with profuse sweating.

What to Expect During your miraDry Procedure

This non-invasive procedure generally takes around one hour. Before your procedure, our clinical staff will prepare you with a thorough cleansing and administer a local anesthetic to numb the target area. We will precisely outline the treatment area with temporary marks to prepare you for miraDry.

Next, you’ll undergo advanced microwave technology, where electromagnetic energy is delivered to the underarm region to selectively destroy sweat glands. Throughout the treatment, the miraDry system emits waves of cooling energy to prevent burning and keep you comfortable.

Is the treatment painful?

Because you are locally numbed in the area prior to treatment, the miraDry procedure itself should be painless. If anything, the very most you will feel would be a slightly warm sensation.

How many treatments will I need?

Most people who are doing the treatment for strictly cosmetic purposes will usually only need 1 treatment. For somebody with hyperhidrosis, 1-2 treatments, minimally 3 months apart is typical. Occasionally, a third treatment is needed for some cases.

What is the success rate of miraDry?

The success rate is extremely high. As with any treatment, the results may vary from person to person. There is reportedly a 75-95% reduction in sweat and body odor in the underarm area.

Recovery and Post Procedural Care

Following the FDA-approved treatment, individuals normally experience slight swelling, soreness, and tingling sensations underneath the arms. These side-effects usually subside within one week following your procedure. We’re excited to say patients will notice an immediate reduction in the amount of sweat they produce.

Thankfully, sweat glands cannot regenerate so results are long-lasting once the glands are eliminated. Since miraDry is non-surgical, most individuals are able to return to work and their schedules immediately following a procedure.

Our dedicated staff and team of medical assistants will walk you through every step of the miraDry process. We recommend swelling to be treated with mild pain relievers and ice compresses throughout the days following miraDry. Though you can resume light activities right after you leave our office, please refrain from heavy exercise for a few days to promote healing.

Candidates for the miraDry Procedure

Healthy individuals who would like to experience the relief and comfort of dry underarms are exceptional candidates for this sweat-reduction treatment. Our dermatological team will consult with each patient to explain potential treatment options based on your lifestyle, body type, and age.
