What is miraDry?

miraDry is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled electromagnetic energy to target and eliminate sweat glands in the underarm area. Unlike antiperspirants that only mask sweat or temporary solutions like Botox injections, miraDry permanently reduces underarm sweat and odor. The procedure is FDA-approved and clinically proven to significantly decrease sweat production, helping patients feel fresh and confident without the need for daily applications of chemical-laden antiperspirants.

Benefits of miraDry

Beyond just eliminating excessive sweating, miraDry can enhance your quality of life in multiple ways. Patients report increased confidence, reduced reliance on deodorants, and the ability to wear whatever they want without fear of sweat stains.

Key Benefits of miraDry:

  • Underarms: Permanently reduces sweat glands, lowering sweat and odor.
  • Confidence Boost: No more sweat stains, allowing for greater wardrobe choices.
  • Odor Reduction: Eliminates the bacteria that cause underarm odor.
  • No More Chemicals: Reduces dependence on antiperspirants containing aluminum and toxins.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours.
  • Hair Reduction: As a side benefit, miraDry can also reduce underarm hair, making grooming easier.

miraDry Candidates

miraDry is ideal for individuals who experience excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) and want a long-term solution. The treatment is safe for both men and women of all skin types. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, metal implants near the treatment area, or those who are pregnant. A consultation at Illuminate Plastic Surgery will determine if miraDry is the right solution for you.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation at Illuminate, our specialists will assess your medical history, skin condition, and goals. If miraDry is right for you, we will provide pre-treatment guidelines, including avoiding shaving the underarms for a few days before the procedure.

miraDry Procedure

The miraDry treatment is performed in-office and typically takes about one hour. A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort, followed by the controlled delivery of electromagnetic energy to eliminate sweat glands. Most patients experience a warming sensation, but the numbing agent ensures minimal discomfort.

miraDry Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Most patients notice a dramatic reduction in underarm sweat immediately after their first session, and most require a second treatment for optimal results.

Post-Treatment Expectations:

  • Recovery Time: Mild swelling and tenderness for a few days, with most returning to daily activities within 24-48 hours.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Once eliminated, sweat glands do not regenerate, making this a permanent solution.
  • Aftercare: Patients are advised to apply ice packs and avoid rigorous exercise for a few days.
