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.
