What are the Benefits of the MiraDry?
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Do you frequently experience armpit sweat stains on your clothing or find that you seem to sweat more than other people? If so, you may have hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond the body’s natural cooling needs. It can affect various areas of the body, such as the underarms, hands, feet, and face. This condition can occur without any triggers, making it both uncomfortable and socially challenging for those who experience it. Hyperhidrosis can be primary (without an underlying health condition) or secondary (caused by another medical issue, like a hormone imbalance or medication). The constant sweating can interfere with daily activities and impact a person’s quality of life, but fortunately, treatments like MiraDry are available to help manage and reduce the symptoms of axillary hyperhidrosis effectively.
If your sweating disrupts your daily routine, causes emotional distress, or seems to occur for no apparent reason, MiraDry can help!

How is the MiraDry Treatment Performed?
The MiraDry sweat reduction treatment is quick and pain-free. Plus, patients describe it as quick and easy. The process begins with a consultation, where your provider will assess your level of hyperhidrosis and discuss your treatment goals.
To begin, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure you are comfortable. Then, a temporary tattoo is used to mark the skin in the area to be treated. Next, the MiraDry system handpiece is pressed against the skin, emitting thermal energy to destroy sweat glands. Treatment takes about one hour to complete.
One of the key benefits of MiraDry is its minimal downtime. While some patients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or redness in the treated area, these effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities, including work and exercise, within 24-48 hours. It’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities for a couple of days following the treatment to allow the area to heal. Results typically become noticeable after a few weeks, with maximum improvement occurring within a few months. MiraDry ensures that underarm sweat doesn’t dictate your daily routine, leaving you feeling fresh and confident.
Don’t I Need to Sweat?
Many patients have questions regarding the elimination of sweat glands. A common question we receive is, “But don’t I need to sweat?” The answer is yes, you do. However, you are born with millions of sweat glands, and your underarms only contain about 2% of those glands. You will continue to sweat from other areas of your body following a MiraDry treatment.
