What Side Effects Could I Experience After miraDry®?

Considering miraDry® at NoSweat Fort Wayne? You’re in experienced hands with Dr. Philip Rettenmaier, DO, and our caring team. We specialize in helping people who deal with bothersome underarm sweat—also known as hyperhidrosis—feel dry, confident, and comfortable. It’s completely natural to have questions, especially about what happens after treatment. Here’s what you can expect.

What Is miraDry?

miraDry is a noninvasive treatment that uses heat energy to target and destroy the sweat glands in your underarms. It’s a popular option for people who want long-lasting relief from underarm sweating without surgery or significant downtime.

By treating only the glands in the underarms, miraDry reduces sweat, odor, and even hair in that area—often after just one session.

What Side Effects Might You Notice?

Most people have only mild side effects after miraDry, and these usually go away on their own within a few days to a few weeks. As your body heals, you might notice:

• Swelling or tenderness in the underarm

• Minor tingling or numbness

• A warm feeling or redness at the treatment site

These side effects are part of your body’s natural response as it breaks down the targeted sweat glands and begins to adjust.

Will I Still Be Able to Sweat?

Yes—your body will still sweat normally in other areas. miraDry only targets about 2% of your body’s total sweat glands, which are located in the underarms. You’ll still be able to stay cool and regulate your body temperature like you always have, just without the stress of underarm sweat.
