Questions about miraDry

It's a microwave-based treatment that permanently destroys sweat and odor glands in your underarms. FDA-cleared and proven safe over years of use. Permanently fix the problem for axillary hyperhidrosis.

The device sends microwave energy into the layer of skin where your sweat glands live and heats them until they're destroyed. Once they're gone, they don't come back.

Yes. One session removes about 82% of your underarm sweat glands. You'll still sweat elsewhere -- face, back, legs -- that's totally normal. But your underarms? Dramatically drier. Some people get complete relief from their sweating, others have a little mild sweating left but it's way less than before.

It's just excessive sweating -- way more than your body actually needs. You might sweat heavily even when it's cool or you're just sitting around. It can hit just your underarms, hands, and feet, or your whole body. miraDry targets the underarm sweating specifically.

Botox temporarily stops your glands from working for about 6 months, so you need to keep getting it done. miraDry destroys the glands permanently in one session. If you want a long-term solution, miraDry's the way to go.

You'll feel some pressure from the applicator, but first the first step is a local anesthesia to completely numb the treatment area which takes about 5 minutes to perform. Most people handle it fine.

Pretty minimal. You'll have some swelling and soreness for a few days, but you can go back to work right away. Just skip the intense workouts and hot activities for about a week. Showering's fine.
