Frequently Asked Questions
What is the miraDry® procedure?
The miraDry procedure is quick, non-invasive and provides a lasting solution for excessive
underarm sweat. The handpiece from the miraDry System, when placed on the underarm,
delivers precisely controlled energy to the region where the sweat glands reside and
eliminates sweat glands non-invasively. The sweat glands don't grow back once eliminated,
resulting in a dramatic and lasting reduction of underarm sweat.
What is the procedure like?
The procedure involves no surgical incisions or cuts. The clinician customizes treatment
for each underarm area with multiple placements of the miraDry handpiece. Local anesthesia
is administered to the underarms prior to the procedure to maintain comfort. Your
office visit appointment will generally last about an hour. Two procedures spaced
three months apart are required to maximize the results and duration.
What happens after the procedure?
There is minimal to no downtime following the procedure. Your doctor will likely recommend
a mild over-the-counter pain medication and use of ice packs for a few days. You should
be able to return to normal activities or work right after the procedure, and you
can typically resume exercise within several days. Some localized soreness or swelling
is normal, and typically clears within a few weeks. Some patients have short-term
altered sensation in the skin of their underarms or upper arms, which gradually disappears.
What results can I expect?
Most patients report a dramatic reduction of their sweat — in a recent clinical study, the average sweat reduction was 82 percent.* You should see a reduction in sweat immediately after treatment. As with any medical procedure, results will vary by person.

How long will the results last?
The results are lasting because the sweat glands do not come back or regenerate after they have been eliminated. The miraDry procedure uses a safe, non-invasive technology that is FDA cleared to eliminate sweat glands in the underarm.
Don't I need my underarm sweat glands?
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.
How is the miraDry procedure different from other treatment options?
Other treatment options are designed to temporarily disable the sweat glands, or involve surgery which contains inherent risks. Only the miraDry procedure provides a lasting solution with a non-invasive treatment.
Is the miraDry procedure right for me?
If embarrassing underarm sweat outbreaks, stained clothing or frequent antiperspirant application interfere with your daily life, then you may be a good candidate for the miraDry procedure.
