Miradry® treatment for underarm sweating
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or unpleasant sweat stains can interfere with daily life. While deodorants often fail and surgery carries risks, miraDry® offers the perfect solution: a medical treatment that can drastically reduce underarm sweat and odor.
miraDry® treatment offers a cutting-edge alternative for treating underarm sweating. In a single 60- to 90-minute session performed under local anesthesia, more than 80% of the sweat glands can be destroyed. As a result, these sweat glands will remain inactive for the rest of your life.

How it works (three-step system)

Questions and Answers
Thanks to local anesthesia, you will only feel a slight pressure or a tugging sensation.
No. The armpits contain only about 2% of the body’s sweat glands – the body’s thermoregulation remains unaffected.
Usually, just one treatment is enough to achieve the desired result.
It is quite normal to experience mild redness, swelling, or a temporary feeling of tightness in the underarm area after use. These symptoms usually disappear quickly on their own, often within a few weeks. In rare cases, there may be brief, temporary changes in skin sensation, but these will gradually disappear completely.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and pain-relieving local anesthesia, the miraDry® treatment is very comfortable and virtually pain-free. A major advantage is the minimal downtime: Most patients can return to work immediately after their appointment. You should simply refrain from physical activity for a few days. Any mild swelling or bruising in the underarm area is temporary and subsides quickly.
