FAQ – miraDry
Posted September 22, 2025 in MedSpa Treatments
What is miraDry?
MiraDry is a safe, FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that permanently reduces underarm sweat, odor, and hair using miraWave energy. No incisions, no downtime and results are often better than even the strongest antiperspirants.
Is miraDry right for me?
If you suffer from excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) or simply want to stop using deodorants with questionable ingredients, miraDry could be a great solution. It’s ideal for anyone tired of sweat stains or limited clothing choices.
How does it work?
The procedure uses miraWave energy to heat and eliminate sweat glands under the arms. A local anesthetic keeps you comfortable, and the device cools the skin throughout. Most people need 2 treatments, however some need just one treatment for long-term results.
What’s the procedure like?
- Numbing of the underarm area
- Treatment lasts about 1 hour
- No cuts or incisions
Is there any pain or downtime?
Most people find it painless with minimal downtime. You may have swelling or numbness in the treated area for a few days, but normal activities can resume immediately. Exercise is typically resumed within several days.
Are there side effects?
Some patients experience temporary swelling or altered sensation, which usually disappears within a few weeks.
What results can I expect?
- Immediate, lasting sweat and odor reduction
- Up to 82% sweat reduction on average
- Once sweat glands are gone, the results are permanent
