miraDry

While your body does need sweat glands to cool itself, your body has 2-4 million sweat glands – only about 2% are found in your underarms. Reducing this percentage of sweat glands does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself. With miraDry, you can experience the many benefits of reducing sweat in the underarm area, but you will continue to sweat in other areas of your body.

miraDry uses thermal energy to heat the areas in question where the sweat, odor, and hair glands reside in order to safely reduce them, thus solving excessive sweating and odor.

You may see immediate and lasting results. miraDry treatment combats the sweat, odor, and hair glands, and results can be long-lasting. This treatment is clinically proven to have an average of 82% in sweat reduction. As with any aesthetic treatment results, patient results and experience may vary.

You can see results in as little as one treatment. However, as with any aesthetic treatment, your physician will determine the best protocol for your desired results.

The treatment at Dr. Basile’s office in Jacksonville will typically take about one hour.

Most patients describe the procedure as having little-to-no pain and little-to-no downtime with most people returning to regular activities (like work) quickly. Exercise and working out is typically resumed within several days of treatment. Local anesthesia is administered to the underarms prior to the treatment for the patients’ comfort. You may experience swelling, numbness, bruising, and sensitivity in the underarm area for several days post-treatment.

Some localized soreness or swelling will likely occur, and typically clears within a few weeks. Some patients have short-term altered sensation in the skin of their underarms or upper arms, which gradually disappears.

Pricing can vary depending on the treatment protocol to achieve your desired results and will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Basile.
