How Long Will MiraDry Last?

In the research done by miraDry, the procedure has lasted at least 2 years.  Since the body does not regrow sweat glands, then in reality the procedure should be permanent.  miraDry is the only FDA approved procedure for long term reduction of sweat, odor and hair in the under arm area.

Sweating in the armpits can be uncomfortable, embarrassing, and make you feel self-conscious. Miradry is a non-invasive device that delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to areas of increased sweating. We apply it to the sweat glands in your armpits. This energy destroys the sweat glands, which reduces armpit sweating. Because the sweat glands are destroyed, the treatment is long lasting.  This is in contrast to other treatments like deoderants, iontophoresis and botulinum toxin which are temporary.
The armpit sweat glands make up only a small fraction of all the sweat glands in your body (approximately 2%) and are expendable. 
If you would like to learn more about the procedure I recommend an in person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training.

Hi, and thanks for your question. MiraDry is a permanent solution to sweating. It requires 1-3 treatments depending on the severity of hyperhidrosis and individual response to treatment. This has been a life changer for many of my patients. Most people do not require deodorant following treatment. This is an FDA cleared procedure not only for sweating but also for odor and hair reduction. The treatment requires localized numbing injection, which makes MiraDry a painless experience.

MiraDry® is FDA cleared for eliminating underarm
sweat. It is non-invasive, requires minimal to no downtime, with permanent
results. miraDry uses electromagnetic energy which is proven to be the ideal
method for treating the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. It creates
targeted heat in the area where glands reside and safely eliminates them.   If the highest level of treatment is done, then typically only 1-2 treatments will be necessarty to PERMANENTLY destroy underarm sweat and odor glands!#excessiveunderamsweating     #Miradrytreatsodor    ##Miradrytreatssweating

Sweat glands do not regenerate so miraDry is expected to be permanent.  The studies show 2 year results thus far.

Although miraDry is getting a lot of attention recently, it has actually been around for a while. It has been extensively studied and there is no cancer association. The FDA has cleared it for safe use as well. The microwave energy only penetrates 4-5mm in depth and heats up and destroys the sweat and odor glands. The energy does not reach lymph nodes or deeper structures and it in non-ionizing radiation (the safe kind, like radiowaves). I have had the procedure done myself and it has truly been a gift. One and done for 80% of people! In the long term, much more cost-effective than Botox which has to be repeated every 3-6 months. Let us know if we can help in any way.Botox can be a good alternative while miradry is being approved for use in those areas. Botox prevents the nerves from telling the sweat glands to produce sweat and odor. Hope that helps!And we are the busiest miraDry practice in California with great results.

The Miradry has not been available for a long enough period to give long term data on this topic. However, all the patients I have treated have not had a recurrence of their sweating. Our practice was one of the first to obtain the Miradry, appox 3 years ago. It is a solid treatment for underarm sweating, and has changed the lives of my patients who had suffered with sweating for so many years.

We now have enough clinical data to declare the benefit of MiraDry for underarm excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis to be semi-permanent. On average, 50% reduction of sweating can be experienced with first treatment and 85% reduction with second treatment 3 months later. Histologic studies have demonstrated that once sweat glands have been wiped out, they are not known to regenerate.

MiraDry is essentially permanent.  The device irreversibly destroys sweat glands of the underarm.  These glands have not be demonstrated to regenerate or grow back.  Clinical trials report 85 percent efficacy after 2 treatments spaced 3 months apart....Best of luck!
