Approximately 1 in 5 Americans is thought to suffer from excess underarm sweat. This condition can have you continuously reapplying antiperspirant, stain your shirts and leave you feeling self-conscious.
While other treatments can temporarily disable the underarm sweat glands or involve surgery to completely remove sweat glands, miraDry can provide long-lasting results without the use of harsh chemicals or incisions. The miraDry process involves the use of a small handpiece that delivers precise bursts of energy to underarm sweat glands.
miraDry effectively eliminates the glands that produce excessive underarm perspiration; because the glands do not regenerate, the results are long-term. Patients typically require two miraDry treatments spaced about three months apart for optimal results. A recent clinical study on miraDry indicated an average decline in sweat of about 82 percent.
Each treatment takes approximately one hour. While patients may need to refrain from exercise for a few days after treatment, most are able to resume their day-to-day activities immediately after miraDry sessions.
