What Is Hyperhidrosis?
How Does MiraDry
Work?
MiraDry works directly on the sweat glands in the underarm region. Microwave energy is delivered deep into the tissue where the sweat glands lie. The energy causes them to be heated to such a point that the sweat glands are damaged.
How Long Do MiraDry Results Last?
MiraDry is designed to provide permanent destruction of underarm sweat glands. In most cases, one session alone will not cause sufficient destruction to cause permanent immobilisation of sweat glands, and two sessions are recommended for this reason.
Is MiraDry right For Me?
MiraDry treatment is suitable for anyone who wants to eliminate his or her underarm wetness and/or odour. You are a great candidate for MiraDry treatments if:
- You suffer from excessive underarm sweating and excessive armpit Odour
- You have tried many other treatment options with no positive outcomes
- You need to change your clothes throughout the day due to excessive wetness under your arms
- Antiperspirants don't work for you
- You have tried anti-wrinkle injections and want a longer-lasting outcome
What Are The Risks?
There are minimal risks associated with MiraDry. These include temporary swelling, nodules, or loss of sensation in the treated area. There is a small risk of prolonged loss of sensation due to nerve damage in the armpits, but this is extremely rare.
