The stains and odours from excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) can be a source of embarrassment for many people. For patients who do not want to undergo a surgery to remove the sweat glands and who prefer a more permanent solution to topical anti-perspirants, miraDry is the recommended treatment.
miraDry is the only non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis which provides a quick and long-lasting solution. It makes use of a hand piece to selectively direct controlled thermal energy to the underarm region, heating up and eliminating the sweat glands in that region.
As miraDry is non-invasive and does not involve harsh chemicals, there is minimal to no downtime and zero scarring, with only slight bruising and soreness which should clear up within weeks. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about an hour to complete. For optimal results, 2 treatments spaced 3 months apart are recommended.
miraDry has been clinically proven to reduce sweat dramatically with results reported with as little as one treatment. Once eliminated our sweat glands do not regenerate, thus preventing the recurrence of axillary hyperhidrosis.
