MiraDry

MiraDry treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to dramatically decrease underarm sweat by addressing the cause of excessive perspiring and its associated odors.

MiraDry uses thermal energy to heat the underarms, safely removing bothersome sweat glands and odorous hair follicles.

Since you must sweat to cool off and avoid dangerous conditions like heatstroke, you have 2 to 4 million sweat glands throughout your body. However, only 2% are in your underarms, so removing them will not prevent your body from cooling down when necessary. MiraDry provides many benefits by reducing perspiration in the underarm area. You’ll still sweat in the other parts of your body.

You can look forward to quick, long-lasting results. Once your miraDry treatment eliminates your underarm sweat and odor glands, they won’t return. The procedure has clinically proven to reduce sweat by 82%, on average. As with any cosmetic treatment, results may vary from patient to patient.

Most patients need two treatments, but those with fewer sweat glands sometimes get great results with only one. There are certain situations where a patient may require a third treatment to get a completely perfect result. However, as with all our cosmetic procedures, we at Aesthetx will customize your plan to achieve your desired outcome.

Expect to be in our office for one hour for your procedure, not including check-in times and health protocols.

To ensure a more tolerable experience, we’ll apply a local anesthetic to your underarms. Most patients describe little to no discomfort. There is no need to take time off work to recover, and you can return to your typical day immediately. You may have some swelling, bruising, numbness, and sensitivity in the treatment area for several days afterward. We recommend ibuprofen and icing for the discomfort for a few days. We also recommend that patients do not exercise for two weeks to ensure the treatment area isn’t stressed by sweating and rubbing.

MiraDry has over 300,000 treatments administered worldwide, with excellent safety reported.

Expect some localized soreness or swelling, which will subside within a few weeks. If you experience changes in skin sensation under your arms or on your upper arms, this will gradually disappear.

Pricing varies depending on desired results and treatment protocols. We’ll discuss this with you during your miraDry consultation.

Insurance companies typically don’t cover miraDry. However, you may be eligible to use HSA/FSA funds toward this treatment. We carry different financing options at our practice, so be sure to check that out.
