Miradry is an advanced, FDA-approved treatment designed to provide lasting relief from excessive underarm sweating, odor, and even unwanted hair. By using precise thermal energy, the procedure safely eliminates sweat glands without surgery, incisions, or downtime. With quick treatment sessions and proven long-term results, miraDry helps restore comfort, freshness, and confidence in daily life.
Miradry is a cutting-edge, FDA-approved medication for people with hyperhidrosis, or excessive perspiration. In contrast to short-term fixes like deodorants or antiperspirants, miradry offers a permanent, non-invasive alternative that targets the underlying cause of perspiration under the arms. In addition to decreasing perspiration, it can also lessen discomfort and related odor, making people feel more confident and fresher in their everyday lives.
This cutting-edge technique targets and permanently removes sweat glands in the underarm region using thermal energy. These glands do not grow back after removal. When done by a qualified medical practitioner, a single miraDry session usually takes only an hour or so.
The medical condition known as hyperhidrosis is typified by excessive and uncontrollable perspiration. The overactive sweat glands in those who have this disorder produce far more perspiration than the body actually requires to regulate body temperature. Excessive perspiration under the arms is the most prevalent and frequently the most bothersome of the various types of hyperhidrosis, impacting social interactions, confidence, and everyday comfort.
Along with a high concentration of hair follicles, the eccrine and apocrine glands, which are situated beneath the skin’s surface at the dermal-fat interface, are responsible for producing sweat and odor in the underarm.
Delivering precise microwave energy (5.8 GHz) to this specific area is how miraDry operates. Long-lasting effects are guaranteed as the sweat and odor glands, along with related follicles, are successfully removed by the regulated thermal energy. Continuous hydro-ceramic cooling is used to protect the skin during treatment, allowing the heat to concentrate on the deeper dermal-fat interface while shielding the outer dermis.
Miradry is the only FDA-approved treatment that directly targets and eliminates the root cause of excessive underarm sweat, offering long-term relief along with reduced odor and improved confidence.
To guarantee optimal comfort and a nearly painless procedure, a local anesthetic is carefully applied to the underarm region.
The underarm is marked with a temporary tattoo or skin marker, which acts as a precise guide for the procedure and guarantees that the miradry device is placed consistently and precisely.
The miradry system, which effectively removes the sweat and odor glands by applying controlled thermal energy, is then applied to the underarm area. Reduced underarm hair growth is an additional advantage of the procedure, which also affects nearby hair follicles.
It typically takes an hour to finish the entire session. After just one treatment, many patients report a noticeable decrease in perspiration and odor, with long-lasting effects that boost self-esteem and comfort in day-to-day activities.
Some common side effects after treatment may include:
Less common side effects may include:
Yes, most patients notice a reduction in underarm sweat after the very first procedure. miraDry offers permanent results in as little as one session since sweat glands are destroyed and do not regenerate. Clinical studies report an average of 82% reduction in underarm sweat, along with noticeable improvement in odor and hair reduction.
miraDry is not recommended for patients who:
Have had previous axillary surgery
Have a heart pacemaker or other electronic device implant
Use supplemental oxygen
Have had prior issues with locally injected anesthesia (e.g., lidocaine with epinephrine or medications that interfere with numbing)
To ensure proper healing and comfort, avoid the following:
Shaving underarms for at least 7 days
Applying deodorant/antiperspirant for the first 5 days
Vigorous physical activity for at least 72 hours (ideally one week)
The results of miraDry are permanent. Once the sweat and odor glands are eliminated, they do not regenerate. Most patients achieve long-lasting dryness, odor reduction, and even decreased underarm hair growth after one or two sessions.
