What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is usually caused by overactive sweat glands, which can be triggered by genetics, stress, or certain medications. Excessive underarm sweating is one of the most common symptoms. It can lead to:
-
Discomfort and irritation
-
Strong body odor
-
Visible stains on your shirts
-
The need to change clothes often
-
Feeling self-conscious in public
For many people, miraDry offers a long-lasting solution.
How Does miraDry Work For Hyperhidrosis?
miraDry is a noninvasive treatment that targets and removes overactive sweat glands in the underarms. The treatment uses a special handpiece that delivers thermal energy to gently destroy sweat glands while keeping the rest of your skin safe. Most patients see big improvements in:
-
Underarm sweating
-
Body odor
-
Clothing stains
-
Confidence
How Long Does miraDry Treatment Take?
The miraDry procedure usually takes about an hour. Most people find it comfortable and easy to tolerate. Afterward, it’s important to rest and let your skin heal. Avoid heavy exercise, hot tubs, and swimming for a few days. Some redness or irritation is normal but usually goes away in a day or two.
How Soon Does miraDry Start Working?
Many people notice less sweating after just one session. However, for the best results, a second treatment may be needed 2–3 months later. Once the sweat glands are removed, they don’t grow back. Many patients see up to 80% less sweating after completing treatment.
