MiraDry® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to permanently reduce underarm sweat and odor. It uses precisely controlled microwave energy to target and eliminate sweat glands, providing a one-time solution without surgery or downtime.

Mechanism:
The MiraDry® handpiece delivers focused thermal energy to the dermal layer, where sweat and odor glands are located. This heat effectively disables the glands while a cooling system protects the surrounding skin and tissue. Since sweat glands do not regenerate, the results are permanent.

Procedure:

• Performed in a dermatologist’s clinic

• Duration: Approximately 60–90 minutes

• Local anesthesia is applied to ensure patient comfort

• The device is placed on the underarm, and energy pulses are delivered in a grid pattern for even coverage

Results:

• Clinical studies show an average of 82% reduction in sweat after just one treatment

• Significant odor reduction as an added benefit

• Many patients achieve optimal results after a single session, while some may opt for a second session for maximum dryness

• Immediate improvement, with results noticeable right after the procedure

Advantages:

• Permanent results — no ongoing maintenance treatments

• Dual benefit — eliminates sweat and odor

• Non-invasive — no cuts, stitches, or surgical recovery

• Quick recovery — most patients return to normal activities immediately

Limitations:

• Higher initial cost compared to temporary methods

• Treatment area limited to the underarms (does not treat hands, feet, or face)

Best Suited For:
Anyone who wants a permanent, non-surgical solution to underarm sweat and odor, including those with primary axillary hyperhidrosis or anyone tired of daily antiperspirants and deodorants.
