Excessive underarm sweating, also known as axillary hyperhidrosis, can be an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition that affects your confidence and daily life. At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we offer miraDry®, an advanced, non-invasive treatment that effectively reduces underarm sweat and odour, providing long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
What is miraDry®?
miraDry® is a cutting-edge treatment designed to reduce excessive underarm sweating by targeting and eliminating the sweat and odour glands in the underarm area. Using controlled electromagnetic energy, miraDry® safely heats and destroys these glands, reducing sweat and odour production in the treated area permanently. Since the body contains millions of sweat glands, eliminating a small percentage of them does not affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature.
How Does miraDry® Work?
The miraDry® device works by delivering precise electromagnetic energy to the sweat glands located just beneath the skin’s surface. The treatment uses a cooling system to protect the skin while the energy targets and destroys the glands responsible for sweat and odour. Once these glands are treated, they do not grow back, leading to a significant and permanent reduction in underarm sweating.
The procedure is non-surgical and requires no incisions or stitches, making it a safe and convenient option for those seeking a lasting solution to excessive sweating.
Benefits of miraDry®
- Long-Lasting Sweat Reduction: miraDry® provides permanent results, with most patients experiencing an 80-90% reduction in underarm sweat after just one treatment.
- Odour and Hair Reduction: In addition to reducing sweat, miraDry® also helps to reduce underarm odour and can result in some reduction of underarm hair.
- Non-Invasive and Quick: The procedure is non-surgical and typically takes around one hour to complete, with little to no downtime required.
- Immediate Results: Many patients notice a significant decrease in underarm sweating immediately following their treatment.
- Boost in Confidence: For those who struggle with excessive sweating, miraDry® offers freedom from sweat stains, the need for strong antiperspirants, and the worry of body odour in social and professional settings.
What to Expect During the miraDry® Treatment
Before your miraDry® treatment, you will have a consultation with one of our dermatologists to assess your concerns and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure. During the treatment, the underarm area is numbed to ensure your comfort. The miraDry® device is then applied to the treatment area, delivering targeted energy to the sweat and odour glands while keeping your skin cool.
The procedure usually takes about an hour, and most patients report only mild discomfort during the process. After the treatment, you may experience some temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness in the underarm area, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
Aftercare and Recovery
Following your miraDry® treatment, we’ll provide you with post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. You may notice some swelling or bruising in the treated area, but this should subside within a few days. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities, including work, right away, although we recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for a few days.
You’ll begin to notice a reduction in underarm sweating immediately after treatment, with full results developing over the following weeks. Some patients may choose to have a second treatment session to achieve optimal results, but many experience significant improvements after just one session.
