Will underarms look the same as prior to miradry after the procedure?

Thank you for your question. Your armpits should return to normal after the miraDry procedure, however it is very likely that you will have some armpit hair loss, which is often seen as a positive outcome for many patients.

The miraDry® system eliminates the underarm sweat glands, and the sweat glands don’t grow back after treatment. This results in a dramatic and lasting reduction of embarrassing underarm sweat. In a clinical study, patients experienced an average of 82% reduction in underarm sweat. You should notice a reduction in sweat immediately after a single miraDry® treatment. As with any medical procedure, results will vary by person. 80% of our patients need only one treatment. Secondary effects include underarm hair and odor reduction. Ask your physician if this procedure is right for you.

Dr. Hratch Karamanoukian and I both perform the Miradry procedure.  Miradry has proven to be an effective and excellent treatment for hyperhidrosis. There are no intrinsic and visible changes in the appearance of the armpit soft tissue after Miradry.  Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

You really need to read the ebook about the miraDry procedure as all of this is inside.Aside from some soft tissue swelling immediately after the procedure which lasts 7-14 days, there may be some tightening of the skin and eventually it will all soften up at 6-8 weeks and be normal.You may lose some hair growth - this has been observed after miraDry but no one complains about it.
