miraDry Treatment – How It Works

miraDry uses electromagnetic energy to precisely target and permanently eliminate sweat and odour glands in the underarm. The handpiece delivers controlled microwave energy to the skin layer where sweat glands reside, destroying them while a cooling system protects the surrounding skin.

Local anaesthesia is administered to the underarms before the procedure to ensure maximum comfort. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. Some localised soreness or swelling is normal afterwards and typically resolves within a few days to weeks.

A miraDry appointment generally takes about 1 to 1.5 hours in total, including preparation and the procedure itself. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day or the following day.

90% of patients achieve their desired results with just one treatment. However, as with any procedure, your physician will assess your individual needs and recommend the best protocol for your goals. A small number of patients may benefit from a second treatment.

Yes. miraDry produces permanent and immediate results. Once the sweat and odour glands are eliminated, they do not grow back. Clinical studies show an average of 82% sweat reduction, with high patient satisfaction ratings reported on RealSelf.
