Feel More Comfortable with Targeted Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a common medical condition that can negatively affect your quality of life. If you’re applying and reapplying antiperspirants 5-12 times a day, sweating through multiple items of clothing, wearing only black or white clothing, or declining public event opportunities solely because of their underarm sweating, we’ve got a solution for you.
How miraDry® Works
The miraDry® procedure is non-invasive, non-surgical and administered with an electrical handpiece. When placed on the underarm, it delivers precisely controlled energy to the region where the sweat glands reside and eliminates them on site. The sweat glands don’t grow back once eliminated, resulting in a dramatic and lasting reduction of underarm sweat.
Local anesthesia is administered to the underarms prior to the procedure to maintain comfort. Your office visit appointment will generally last about an hour, and two procedures spaced three months apart are required for the best results.
But you may be asking yourself: don’t I need my underarm sweat glands? Surprisingly, no! Your body contains over 4 million sweat glands, with only about 2% located in the underarms. Eliminating this 2% will not affect the body’s ability to cool itself or its ability to release toxins.
