How Quickly Does MiraDry Work?
Severe underarm sweating can cause a lot of anxiety and embarrassment.

MiraDry can provide you with a safe and effective way to reduce severe underarm sweating. After just one treatment, you’ll notice a difference in the way your sweat glands are working. Most patients will require 2 sessions total, with some needing 3. But you’ll get fast, long-lasting, and highly effective results when you decide to get this treatment.
What Exactly Is Hyperhidrosis?
Severe sweating is known as hyperhidrosis. This type of sweating is generally not caused by excessive heat or by intensive exercise. The severity of hyperhidrosis can vary greatly from person to person. Some people may find that their sweat soaks through their clothes or drips down their skin.
This type of sweating can lead to a lot of embarrassment and social anxiety. You might find it difficult to do the things you love to do. There are several ways to treat this issue, but this treatment is one of the best.
What Causes Hyperhidrosis?
There are two types of hyperhidrosis. The first is called primary hyperhidrosis. This type of excessive sweating is not caused by any particular illness or condition. Your sweat glands are simply overactive because of the signals that your nerves are sending.
The other type of hyperhidrosis is called secondary hyperhidrosis. If you have this type, then another condition is causing your excessive sweating. Some very common conditions that can cause this issue include:
• Thyroid problems
• Diabetes
• Infections
• Disorders of the nervous system
• Low blood sugar
• Menopause
What Is MiraDry?
This is a highly effective treatment for severe underarm sweating. It was approved by the FDA and offers safe treatment that will help you feel more confident in your skin and get back to the things in life you enjoy. When you receive this treatment, a handheld device will be used to apply electromagnetic energy to your underarms.
This energy will convert into heat, warming up the sweat glands and damaging them. These damaged sweat glands will be unable to regenerate, meaning that they will no longer be able to produce any sweat. You’ll notice an immediate difference after your treatment.
What Is Getting MiraDry Treatment Like?
If you’re thinking of receiving this treatment, then you’re probably interested in what the process is like as a whole. When you come to our clinic, we’ll provide you with a clean and safe environment where you’ll be getting your treatment.
When we consult with you, we’ll talk about your specific concerns to make sure this is the right course of action for you. We’ll also be happy to address any questions or concerns that you might have about the treatment, so please don’t hesitate to ask us.
Before Treatment
Before you can receive your treatment, you’ll need to prepare for your appointment. Don’t worry, the list of things you’ll need to do is very short and easy to follow. The only thing you’ll need to do is shave your underarms about 4 to 6 days before your treatment.
Shaving your underarms will allow us to see exactly where we need to apply the applicator, according to your hair regrowth. This means that you’ll get the most effective treatment possible. Other than that, there is nothing else you’ll need to worry about in the days leading up to your treatment.
Your Treatment
When you arrive at our clinic, you’ll be able to trust that Dr. Lezaic and his team are ready to provide you with safe and fast-acting treatment. We’ll mark the area where you’ll be receiving treatment and then apply an anesthetic to make sure that the process is as painless as possible.
Dr. Lezaic will then apply the device to your targeted areas. You should feel minimal discomfort during the entire process. The entire treatment session will last about an hour in total, and you’ll be able to leave the clinic immediately after your treatment is complete.
Post-Treatment
Because this treatment is non-invasive, there is essentially no downtime associated with it. Once you leave our clinic, just take care to follow the instructions that we provide you with as your skin heals from the treatment. You’ll be able to get back to your daily activities, but you may need to apply a cold compress to help reduce swelling.
This swelling and redness should go down within a few days. You can take medications like ibuprofen to help with any swelling you might be experiencing. Most patients notice an 82% reduction in the amount of sweating they experience after their skin heals.
The Benefits of MiraDry
There are lots of reasons why someone might be considering getting this treatment. If you’re looking for any of the following, then this treatment option could be the right one for you.
Effective Treatment
Severe underarm sweating can cause a lot of distress in your daily life. This can be really difficult to deal with and manage.
If you’re not happy with the way your hyperhidrosis has affected your day-to-day life, then this treatment can offer you an effective solution. You’ll feel much more confident in your skin, and you’ll be able to get back to the activities you enjoy.
Fast-Acting Treatment
When looking for any type of treatment for any concern, finding something that works quickly is important. And for something that can cause as much anxiety and embarrassment as hyperhidrosis, then finding something that’s going to offer you a solution quickly might be even more important.
This treatment works extremely quickly, and as soon as you leave the clinic you’ll find that your underarms are producing much less sweat. Some people find that one treatment alone is often effective enough, though you may need a second or possibly a third spaced a few months apart.
Non-Invasive Treatment
There are lots of options out there for those looking to treat their excessive sweating. Some doctors may recommend a surgical procedure, but this type of procedure may not be right for everyone. Surgery can be very invasive and may also require a long and uncomfortable healing time afterward.
If that doesn’t sound like something you want, then you’ll want to look into a non-invasive treatment like this one. This treatment will provide you with noticeable results that you’ll love without having to worry about post-surgery recovery. You’ll be able to get back to your regular life right away.
Permanent Results
If you’re worried about a treatment that will only provide you with temporary results, you don’t need to worry if you decide to go with this option. While you may need 2 to 3 treatments in total, you won’t have to concern yourself with follow-up treatments after these sessions.
The device used in this treatment destroys your sweat glands by heating them. Your sweat glands are unable to regenerate themselves once they are destroyed, which means that the results of your treatment will be permanent. You’ll never need to worry about excessive sweating again.
Reduction in Hair
If you’ve heard the term “MiraSmooth,” you might be wondering if this is a treatment made by the same company that created this treatment. In actuality, both MiraDry and MiraSmooth are the same thing! Shaving and waxing unwanted body hair can be a real pain.
If you’re looking for a way to reduce the amount of underarm hair that you have while also treating your hyperhidrosis, then this could be exactly the solution you’re looking for. Not only will you get to feel more confident in your lack of excessive sweating, but you’ll have to worry less about any underarm hair.
