How Does the miraDry Treatment Work?
miraDry treatments are performed with a small hand-held device that is able to non-invasively target and heat underarm sweat and odor glands, causing them to become permanently inactive. At the same time, the miraDry system is equipped with technology that continuously cools your skin during treatment for added comfort and safety.
Before the procedure begins, your underarms will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic will be applied. The miraDry device is then used to deliver targeting heat energy to the underarm area. The treatments are painless, with each side taking roughly 30 minutes to complete.
miraDry Recovery Timeline and Expected Results
There is little to no downtime following a miraDry treatment, however it’s expected that for a few days your underarm area will feel swollen, tender, and sore. We recommend that you wait two to three days before resuming intense exercise, otherwise you can return to regular activities immediately.
The effectiveness and permanency of results is a standout benefit of miraDry, offering an average reduction of 82% in underarm sweating and odor and after just one treatment. Typically, patients only require a single session, but you will know if you need a second miraDry treatment within three months.
