miraDry results are permanent as the targeted sweat glands cannot reproduce. However, you will need at least two treatment sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart for optimal treatment results.
MiraDry results are permanent. The device emits microwave energy to target and destroy sweat glands and eliminate odor in your underarm area. Once destroyed, the sweat glands do not grow back. Clinical studies demonstrated an 82% reduction of body odor and sweating one year after 2 miraDry treatments.
No. The miraDry procedure utilizes the application of a local anesthetic to the treatment area, ensuring 100% comfort throughout the process. However, the initial injection of the numbing agent can be uncomfortable for some individuals but tolerable.
The first miraDry procedure eliminates 80% of smell and odor. At times, the sweat glands may self-purge and produce a foul smell for a week or two, after which the scent dissipates. In most cases, a patient will require a second treatment to achieve optimal results. In severe cases of hyperhidrosis, a third treatment may be necessary.
After a miraDry treatment, patients will immediately experience dry underarms, free of sweat. However, it is possible to notice an increase in sweat production 2-3 weeks after treatment as post-treatment swelling begins to subside and some shocked glands begin to recover. Also, miraDry only stops 82% of sweat glands, not all.
Clinical studies have reported that hyperhidrosis does not disappear with advancement with age. About 90% of respondents state that sweating has worsened over time. The study was conducted consistently across different age groups, including the older generation.
miraDry is a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment for hyperhidrosis. The device uses microwave energy to target and destroy the sweat glands under the arms to eliminate excessive sweating and odor permanently.
Hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating, eventually leading to body odor. The sweating can be traced back to two sweat glands, eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. You can correct this concern with a miraDry treatment.
Natural methods to treat hyperhidrosis include herbs such as chamomile, St. John’s wort, sage tea, and tablets. Other suggested natural treatments include hypnosis, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, and acupuncture.
The cost of a miraDry treatment depends on your geographical location, chosen practitioner, and the number of treatments necessary to achieve your desired results. Most patients require 1-2 treatments for optimal effects. Patients can expect to pay $1,500-2,000 per treatment.
