MiraDry (Sweat Reduction)
MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce excessive underarm sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. The procedure is quick, typically lasting about an hour, and provides immediate and lasting results.
Besides reducing sweat, the treatment also helps with odour and underarm hair.
MiraDry offers a permanent solution to excessive underarm sweating with immediate and noticeable results. This non-invasive procedure not only reduces sweat but also helps with odor and hair reduction, providing comprehensive benefits.
Treatment details:
-
miraDry is a FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that uses electromagnetic energy to permanently destroy sweat and odor glands in the underarm
Treat areas:
Underarms
-
Treatment length → 2 hours and 30 mins.
Sensation → Patients typically feel a slight suction or vacuum sensation as the handpiece lifts the skin, combined with a warm sensation as the energy is delivered.
Onset → While the change is instant, full results are often measured after about 1–3 months, once the initial swelling subsides and the body processes the destroyed glands.
Duration → miraDry results are long-lasting because sweat glands do not regenerate once destroyed.
