Yes, miraDry is a non surgical treatment designed to permanently reduce underarm sweat, odor and hair. Studies show a 82% reduction of underarm sweat.
The miraDry procedure is an effective treatment to reduce sweating, odor and reduce hair in the underarm area. In our experience most patients stop wearing antiperspirants and many no longer wear deodorants as well. The added benefit of reduced hair also means less shaving. We recommend a series of two treatments for the most effective results, but our patients report a dramatic difference with just one treatment and many feel the do not need a second.
You may experience some swelling, minor bruising and tendernessof the underarms, which should subside within a couple of weeks. We recommendavoiding strenuous activity requiring your arms until your symptoms haveresolved. Some patients have short-term altered sensation of the underarm skinor upper arms. This will gradually disappear. If any of these side effectsoccur, we recommend avoiding strenuous activities requiring use of your armsuntil they have subsided. Aside from getting rid of sweat and odor, miraDry®can also reduce hair growth under the arm.Yes it does help with odor. My results were excellent with one treatment but it was 4-8 weeks of healing
Although miraDry isgetting 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 hascleared it for safe use as well. The microwave energy only penetrates 4-5mm indepth and heats up and destroys the sweat and odor glands. The energy does notreach lymph nodes or deeper structures and it in non-ionizing radiation (thesafe kind, like radiowaves). I have had the procedure done myself and it hastruly been a gift. One and done for 80% of people! In the long term, much morecost-effective than Botox which has to be repeated every 3-6 months. Let usknow if we can help in any way.
The Miradry targets both eccrine and apocrine glands, The apocrine glands are responsible for the typical underarm sweating, and once treated with Miradry odor is also improved and even absent in some cases.
