The procedure involves no surgical incisions or cuts. The clinician customizes treatment for each underarm area with multiple placements of the miraDry handpiece. Local anaesthesia is administered to the underarms prior to the procedure to maintain comfort. Your miraDry appointment will generally last about 1 – 1.5 hours.

There is minimal to no downtime following the procedure. You should be able to return to normal activities or work right after the procedure, or the following day. Some localized soreness or swelling is normal, and typically clears within a few days to weeks.

You can expect immediate and lasting results.  Once the miraDry treatment eliminates the sweat glands, they’re gone for good.  Clinical studies show an average of 82% sweat reduction. As with any aesthetic treatment results, patient results and experience may vary.

While your body does need sweat glands to cool itself, your body has 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. With miraDry, you will experience the many benefits of reducing sweat in the underarm area, but you will continue to sweat in other areas of your body.

90% of patients only require ONE treatment. However, as with any aesthetic treatment, your physician will determine the best protocol for your desired results.
