If you’ve ever dreamed of living sweat-free without the daily hassle of deodorants or the embarrassment of underarm stains, MiraDry could be your answer. This innovative, non-surgical treatment permanently reduces underarm sweat and odour in just one or two sessions. But what exactly happens during the procedure? Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to help you know what to expect.
Step 1: Consultation & Candidacy Check
Your MiraDry journey begins with a personal consultation. During this session, the specialist will:
- Understand your concerns about sweating and odour
- Review your medical history
- Determine if you’re an ideal candidate for the procedure
This step ensures that MiraDry is safe and suitable for your needs.
Step 2: Preparing the Treatment Area
On the day of your procedure, the underarm area will be thoroughly cleaned and marked. The markings act as a treatment map to guide the MiraDry device for precise energy delivery.
Step 3: Local Anaesthesia for Comfort
To make the procedure virtually painless, a local anaesthetic is injected into the underarm area. This numbs the region completely, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the session.
Step 4: Energy Delivery Using MiraDry Device
The MiraDry handpiece is then placed on your skin, and controlled electromagnetic energy (microwave technology) is delivered to target sweat and odour glands beneath the surface.
At the same time, a cooling system protects your skin and prevents any heat damage. The treatment works layer by layer to ensure that all sweat glands are effectively destroyed.
Step 5: Repeating on the Other Side
The process is repeated for the other underarm. Each underarm typically takes about 20–25 minutes, making the total procedure time around 60 minutes.
Step 6: Immediate Aftercare
Once the treatment is complete, you might experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the underarm area — this is completely normal and usually subsides in a few days. Applying ice packs can help reduce swelling, and most people return to their daily activities within 24 hours.
What to Expect After the Procedure
- Instant Results: Many patients notice a significant reduction in sweat and odour immediately after the first session.
- Long-Lasting Effect: Since sweat glands don’t grow back, results are permanent.
- Possible Secondary Benefits: Many people experience reduced underarm hair growth after the procedure.
Why This Step-by-Step Process Matters
Understanding the MiraDry procedure in detail removes uncertainty and builds confidence before your appointment. The treatment is safe, quick, and requires minimal downtime — making it one of the most convenient solutions for permanent sweat reduction.
