How Does Underarm Sweat Reduction Work?
miraDry treatments can be performed in the minor procedures room of our office in about 1 -2 hours with local anesthesia applied to the underarm area. While the procedure in not invasive, the local anesthesia makes the process more comfortable for patients. The miraDry device is applied directly to the sweat glands in the armpits, so the energy pulses immediately eliminate the glands. Both underarms are usually treated in one appointment and the patient is free to leave and resume their normal activities after their treatment.
What to Expect After Underarm Sweat Reduction
Patients leave our office after miraDry treatments as soon as they feel able. The local anesthesia may make the armpits numb for a while after your procedure, but you should be able to return to work or your daily routine immediately after. Some patients may have some swelling or discomfort in the treated area for a few days, which can be treated with icepacks and over-the-counter pain relievers. Patients should give their underarms a few days to rest and heal fully before resuming exercise or other activity that may cause sweat.

Ideal Candidates?

Number of Treatments?
For best results, most patients will need at least 2 treatments spaced 2 - 3 months apart. While significant results are seen by most patients after their first treatment, a clinical study shows that most patients will have an 80% reduction in underarm perspiration after their second treatment.
Is miraDry Safe?
