Probably one of the most tedious aspects to being a woman is the chore of shaving your armpits. It seems just when you’re done, it’s time to do it again.
But what if you could put an end to underarm shaving, and have this little side benefit of permanently eliminating the sweat and odor glands in the armpits?
You can have both at Deschutes Dermatology with a new procedure called miraDry!
What Is miraDry Underarm Treatment?
MiraDry is the only non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment to permanently eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. Using microwave technology to heat the glands, stopping their functioin, miraDry treatment is a safe, fast, permanent solution.
The procedure has been given over 45,000 times worldwide, so there is a growing amount of statistical evidence behind miraDry. This new technology has been shown to eliminate 82% of sweat and odor glands in just one treatment. This reduction is permanent.
Although miraDry is designed to permanently reduce underarm sweat, many patients are happy to discover it can also remove up to 70% of underarm hair because the controlled heat energy weakens the hair follicles during treatment. This added perk means less shaving, fewer grooming products, and more convenience in daily routines. It is one of the reasons miraDry is often viewed as one of the best sweat solutions without surgery, especially for people looking for long-term results rather than temporary fixes.
Even those with busy or fitness-focused lifestyles appreciate how manageable the recovery can be. Many patients are able to return to light workouts sooner than expected, making miraDry an appealing option for anyone wondering if they can work out after treatment while still enjoying smoother, drier, and more confident underarms.
Is Sweat Gland Removal With miraDry Safe?
The human body has from 2 to 4 million sweat glands across its entire surface. Only 2% of these are located in the underarm area. So, when these glands are eliminated with miraDry procedure, the body’s overall ability to cool itself or to eliminate toxins is not impacted.
What Happens During a miraDry Procedure?
We first numb the underarms of the patient. Then we draw a temporary tattoo of sorts on your underarm to provide a treatment map. Next we place the hand held applicator to your skin and there is a slight suction. Each side takes around 30 minutes and you’re done.
Who doesn’t want to quit dealing with deodorants and shaving? Puhleeeeeeze!
