How Quickly Does miraDry Work?

Sweat glands are obliterated during MiraDry treatment for underarm excess sweating or hyperhidrosis. Most patients should experience almost instant relief though the best long-term results are seen with two treatments done 3 months apart.

It takes a 1-2 weeks after a Miradry session to notice that the sweating is reduced, but this is mostly because you have not noticed that you have already stopped sweating, and the area was tender in the days following your procedure. There is a 70-80% reduction with 1 session, and 80-95% reduction with a second treatment in my experience. I tend to treat my patients on high settings, and the majority do not require a second session. Those who had severe sweating at baseline usually require 2 sessions.

Miradry eliminates the odor causing glands as well as the sweat glands. It is a safe, effective and, in the long term, most affordable manner of fixing your problem. The safety track record is really, really good.  You will see improvement almost immediately.  Most patients need only one treatment.Sheila NazarianBeverly Hills

Our patients have reported significant improvement in the first couple days after treatment. For the best and longest lasting results the procedure should be performed twice, spaced 3 months apart. Best of luck!

Patients in my office see results immediately.  To ensure the full benefit of MiraDry, a second treatment 3 months after the initial one is recommended.  Clinical trials have demonstrated a reduction of sweat under the arms up to 85 percent.Best of luck!

miraDry is a clinically proven and safe FDA-approved solution for significantly reducing underarm sweat. The results are see within days following the outpatient procedure performed in a physician’s office. It is not surgery so doesn’t involve surgical incisions. miraDry delivers controlled electromagnetic energy to the arm pit, eliminating the underarm sweat (eccrine) glands. It does not penetrate enough to cause significant fat reduction and if anything might tighten, not loosen skin.Two procedures are typically recommended. Each occurs approximately three months apart for best results.Other options include: antiperspirants, Botox or Dysport with off label usage toxins temporarily prevents the sweat glands from working for varying lengths of time. This requires repeat treatments to maintain results. Other options involve superficial liposuction or excision of sweat gland skin poses additional risks and leave scars.
