The science of miraDry®

What goes on during the treatment is actually pretty simple. The miraDry® System uses thermal energy that targets and eliminates the sweat and odor glands in your underarm. Once those glands are eliminated, they do not grow back. Goodbye, sweat stains!

​

How does it work?

miraDry® uses thermal energy to create heat in the area where bothersome sweat and odor glands reside and safely eliminates them.

​

What results can I expect?

You can expect immediate and lasting results. Once the miraDry® treatment eliminates the sweat and odor glands, they’re gone for good. The treatment is clinically proven to have an average of 82% sweat reduction and 89% odor reduction. As with any aesthetic treatment patient results and experiences may vary.

​

How many treatments will I need?

You can see results in as little as one treatment. However, as with any aesthetic treatment your physician will determine the best protocol for your desired results.

​

How long does it take?

An appointment will generally last about one hour.

​

Is there any pain or downtime?

Most patients describe the procedure as painless with little to no downtime. Local anesthesia is administered to the underarms prior to the treatment for optimal patient comfort. Most patients return to regular activity (such as work) immediately and exercise is typically resumed within several days. You may experience numbness, bruising, and sensitivity in the underarm area for several days after treatment. Some localized soreness or swelling will occur, and typically clear within a few weeks. Some patients have short-term altered sensation in the skin of their underarms or upper arms which gradually disappears. 

​

Is it safe?

Yes, miraDry® has been used in over 140,000 treatments worldwide with an excellent safety record. It’s also been cleared by the FDA to dramatically reduce underarm sweat in as little as one appointment.

​

Is miraDry® covered by insurance?

miraDry® is not typically covered by insurance, but it is the first and only treatment FDA-cleared to permanently reduce underarm sweat in as little as one appointment. However, you may be able to use your HSA/FSA funds toward miraDry®. Please contact your HSA/FSA manager to find out.

​

Who is the miraDry® treatment for?

miraDry® is for anyone who is bothered by underarm sweat and/or has been diagnosed with axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in the underarms).
