Request an AppointmentWhat Is miraDry?
miraDry is a noninvasive procedure that uses precise microwave technology to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. By focusing energy at the exact depth where these glands live, miraDry permanently removes them, providing lasting results after just one or two sessions. Once sweat glands are eliminated, they do not grow back.
Why Choose miraDry?
- Permanent results: Enjoy long-lasting relief from underarm sweat and odor after one or two sessions
- Confidence and comfort: Say goodbye to sweat stains and frequent deodorant reapplication
- Nonsurgical with minimal downtime: Return to most daily activities quickly
- Reduced odor: Eliminating odor glands helps reduce underarm odor as well as sweat
- Possible hair reduction: Many patients also notice reduced underarm hair in the treated area
For Tucson, AZ residents who face long, hot summers, miraDry offers a permanent way to stay dry and comfortable all year.
How Does miraDry Work?
The miraDry system delivers controlled thermal energy to safely destroy sweat and odor glands in the underarms while a built-in cooling system protects the skin’s surface. Since only about 2% of the body’s sweat glands are located in the underarms, you maintain normal sweating elsewhere to regulate body temperature while eliminating excessive underarm sweat.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment begins with a consultation to confirm that miraDry is right for you. On the day of treatment, the underarm area is marked with a temporary template to guide placement, and local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable. The handpiece is then applied section by section across the underarm. A typical treatment takes about an hour. Afterward, most patients experience swelling, tenderness, or numbness for several days, which can be managed with ice and over-the-counter pain relievers. Most people return to normal activities right away and resume exercise within about a week.
Who Is a Good Candidate for miraDry?
miraDry is ideal for adults with excessive underarm sweating or odor, including those diagnosed with hyperhidrosis and those who are simply tired of relying on antiperspirants. It is also a great option for patients who have used wrinkle relaxer injections for sweating and want a permanent solution instead of repeat treatments. Our team will review your health history to determine whether miraDry is appropriate for you.
