Enjoy Lasting Freedom From Underarm Sweat
miraDry sweat reduction is a non-surgical treatment that permanently reduces excessive underarm sweating by eliminating targeted sweat glands with controlled microwave energy. It also helps minimize underarm odor while providing the added benefit of reducing underarm hair. Because the treated sweat glands do not regenerate, you can enjoy long-lasting results without ongoing maintenance, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your daily life.
miraDry Sweat Reduction Treats:
- Excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Persistent underarm odor (bromhidrosis)
- Sweat stains on clothing
- Daily discomfort caused by excessive perspiration
- Unwanted underarm hair as an added treatment benefit
How Does miraDry Sweat Reduction Work?
miraDry uses precisely controlled microwave energy to target the dermal layer where eccrine and apocrine sweat glands are located. Thermal energy permanently destroys these glands while the cooling system protects the skin’s surface and surrounding tissue. Because the body contains millions of sweat glands and only a small percentage are found in the underarms, eliminating treated glands does not affect your body’s ability to regulate temperature.

What Happens During miraDry Sweat Reduction?
Your provider begins by cleansing and marking your underarms before administering local anesthesia. The miraDry handpiece is positioned over the treatment area, where controlled microwave energy targets and eliminates the sweat and odor glands while integrated cooling protects your skin. Once treatment is complete, you can return home with simple aftercare instructions.
Expected Results From miraDry Sweat Reduction
Many patients notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating immediately after treatment, with continued improvement as post-treatment swelling resolves. While one session is often enough, some patients benefit from a second treatment to achieve better results. Because the treated sweat glands do not regenerate, routine maintenance is typically unnecessary.
FAQs
Will miraDry Affect My Body's Ability to Cool Itself?
No. Your body contains millions of sweat glands, and only a small percentage of them are located in the underarms. Eliminating the treated underarm glands does not interfere with your natural ability to regulate temperature because the remaining sweat glands continue to function normally.
What Side Effects Should I Expect After Treatment?
Most side effects are temporary and improve over the days and weeks following treatment. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, bruising, numbness, tingling, or a feeling of firmness beneath the skin. Your provider will provide aftercare instructions to mitigate side effects.
Is There Any Downtime After miraDry Sweat Reduction?
There is little to no downtime involved. Most patients return to work and other daily activities shortly after the treatment. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise and activities that heavily engage the upper body for several days while the treated area heals.
Does miraDry Require Ongoing Maintenance?
Unlike treatments that temporarily reduce sweating, miraDry permanently eliminates the treated sweat glands. Once your desired outcome is achieved, routine maintenance sessions are generally unnecessary, making it a convenient solution for excessive underarm sweating.
Can I Wear Deodorant After Treatment?
Yes. Once your provider advises that your skin has healed sufficiently, you can resume using deodorant or antiperspirant as needed. Many patients find they rely on these products less because underarm sweating and odor have been significantly reduced.
