What is
The miraDry treatment is the only FDA-cleared treatment that can dramatically reduce underarm sweat and odor by addressing the root cause – not the symptoms.
• Targeted energy: controlled microwave energy is delivered to the dermal-fat interface region.
• Focal energy zone: energy is intensified at the dermal-fat interface.
• Sweat and odor gland destruction: hydroceramic cooling protects the epidermis and upper dermis while heat destroys the sweat and odor glands.
This procedure, which can be performed under local anesthesia, offers a long-lasting solution for excessive sweating and can significantly improve patients' quality of life. miraDry has demonstrated efficacy in reducing sweat production, and its safety profile has been well-established through clinical studies. It is a clinically proven and FDA-cleared treatment option for individuals seeking a permanent solution to excessive underarm sweating.
How miraDry Works
The miraDry system permanently removes sweat glands by using electromagnetic energy. Depending on the patient’s needs, the minimally invasive procedure can be finished in one or two sessions. A handheld device is used during the procedure to deliver precisely regulated electromagnetic energy to the sweat glands in the underarm region. While the surrounding tissues and structures are unharmed, the sweat glands are heated and destroyed in a procedure that lasts for less than an hour.
Key Benefits
of miraDry
A long-lasting solution for hyperhidrosis in the axillary region
making it a valuable treatment option for physicians to consider. By selectively targeting and thermally ablating sweat glands using microwave energy, miraDry effectively reduces sweat production.
Eliminates the need for ongoing antiperspirant use
which can be inconvenient and may cause skin irritation. The procedure also addresses associated concerns such as underarm odor, boosting patients’ self-confidence and improving their quality of life.
Minimally invasive and can be performed in a clinical setting
under local anesthesia, minimizing patient discomfort and downtime. miraDry has a favorable safety profile, with clinical studies demonstrating its efficacy and patient satisfaction.
A permanent solution
eliminating the need for repetitive treatments. This makes it a cost-effective option for patients in the long run.
Presents an effective, safe, and convenient
approach to treating axillary hyperhidrosis, addressing both the physical symptoms and the emotional impact on patients.
No downtime necessary
and the treatment only takes a little over an hour to be completed. The effects of the treatment last for years, with the majority of patients reporting a significant reduction in sweating.
Clinical Studies
In a clinical study, miraDry has been shown to reduce underarm sweating by an average of 82%. The reduction in sweat production is immediate and permanent, meaning that patients won’t have to worry about sweating through clothing or using antiperspirants ever again.
