Does MiraDry treatment remove the majority of armpit hair in men? Are there any similar options that don’t have this effect?

Hi fdati

The only fda-cleared treatment that can dramatically and permanently reduce underarm sweat in as little as one appointment. miraDry is a non-surgical treatment to reduce hyperhidrosis or excessive underarm sweating. miraDry uses technologically advanced microwave energy to target overactive sweat and odor glands. These glands are eliminated…. permanently. To learn more about this procedure, please visit our website.

There is a moderate reduction in hairs under your arm, but that also helps with odor! It may come back in a little patchy at first but it fills out over time, we've found. miraDry is a great treatment, and most of our patients all say it was worth it!

miraDry treatments are a permanent solution for unwanted sweating in the underarms. In clinical studies it was shown that 2 treatments can reduce sweating by 89%, on average. It was also noted that there can be a 70% reduction in the hair. Men in Chicago don't seem to notice or mind the reduction. In addition, there is a decrease in underarm odor. Botox, Dysport or Xeomin treatments can reduce sweating for several months but it is not permanent. Obrexa wipes are a topical, effective prescription that your dermatologist can prescribe for you. 

Miradry typically removes about 82% of sweat and odor glands while only reliving around 50% of hair. I have had it done and you can’t really notice.
