What is miraDry?

MiraDry® is the leading treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis (or sweating in the armpits). It is the only non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment to permanently reduce underarm sweat, odor and hair. At Louisiana Women’s Aesthetics, our clinicians are miraDry trained and certified, offering over 5 years of experience.

How does miraDry work?

Prior to your miraDry procedure, your underarms will be numbed for comfort. The miraDry device will then deliver precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to the underarm area, where the sweat glands can be found.  These glands will be eliminated and won’t regenerate. Most patients experience complete elimination of sweat and odor after one treatment, but some patients with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) may require two treatments. We do offer a discounted price if a patient requires a second treatment.

 

After the treatment, most of your underarm sweat and odor glands will be eliminated. While your body does need sweat glands to cool itself, your body contains 2-4 million sweat glands – only about 2% are found in your underarms. Eliminating this 2% of sweat glands does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself.  The treatment is complete in about 1-2 hours, and you will see results in as little as one treatment.

Does miraDry hurt?

Since local anesthesia is administered to the underarm prior to treatment, most patients experience little to no discomfort.  Most patients experience minimal downtime, other than moderate swelling due to the injections.  After treatment, you may experience temporary swelling, soreness, tingling, and numbness in the treated area. These sensations typically clear-up within a few days to a few weeks.  You can return to normal activity right after treatment and typically resume exercise after one week.

How long will my miraDry results last?

MiraDry permanently deactivates sweat glands, so a reduction in underarm sweat is forever! Most patients can stop using antiperspirant products after 1-2 miraDry treatments.

Am I a candidate for permanent underarm sweat reduction?

Many types of patients are ideal candidates for miraDry, with the most obvious being a person who suffers from excessive sweating. Odor is the second most common reason people seek relief with miraDry. With a significant reduction in sweat and odor, most people don’t even need to wear deodorant following treatment.
