What is miraDry?
If you’re struggling with overactive sweat glands under your arms, you may be a good candidate for miraDry. miraDry is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that reduces underarm sweat, odor, and hair in just one hour. miraDry is the only FDA-cleared treatment that can permanently treat excessive sweat. Over 100,000 miraDry treatments have been performed worldwide.
miraDry uses precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to target sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. A buildup of heat energy will eliminate sweat glands to dramatically reduce underarm sweat and the unpleasant odor that often accompanies it. Since sweat glands reside near the hair follicles, removing these glands also means you can eliminate unwanted underarm hair. This medical spa treatment is performed under local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort you might feel.

Before Your miraDry Procedure
To prepare for the procedure, it’s important to avoid shaving your underarms for 4 to 6 days beforehand so the treatment area remains clearly visible. In some cases, you may be asked to trim underarm hair to approximately 2–3 millimeters to enhance treatment accuracy. On the day of your appointment, wear loose, comfortable clothing, preferably a sleeveless top, to minimize friction and support post-treatment comfort. It’s also a good idea to plan for some downtime after the procedure to rest and apply ice packs, as temporary swelling, numbness, or mild discomfort may occur.
See How MiraDry Works
Your miraDry Procedure
On the day of your miraDry treatment, the underarm skin will be cleansed, marked for accuracy, and numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure minimal discomfort. The miraDry device will then deliver bursts of microwave energy into the underarm sweat glands using electromagnetic energy. This process heats and eliminates underarm sweat and odor glands, which are responsible for excessive underarm sweat and underarm odor.
The entire procedure typically takes about an hour, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Some patients may benefit from a second treatment, spaced about three months apart, to achieve optimal sweat reduction.
After Your miraDry Procedure
After MiraDry treatment, patients experience sensitive skin under their arms. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid shaving or applying deodorant for a few days. You may also experience some redness or irritation, but the side effects typically resolve themselves within a few days to a few weeks. Patients should wear loose-fitting tops and avoid exercise or strenuous activity for a few days after treatment.
What to Expect After miraDry
After one procedure, you will immediately notice sweat reduction. The results are clinically proven to be long-lasting and permanent. Two treatments spaced three months apart may be needed to achieve the optimal results.
