All About the miraDry Procedure

miraDry is an FDA-approved procedure that helps to reduce excessive sweating in the underarms. As a non-invasive treatment, miraDry deploys light energy to destroy the sweat glands. After the destruction of these glands, they do not develop again, assuring you of long-lasting results.

People who are troubled by underarm sweat are advised to undergo the miraDry procedure, saving themselves from the embarrassment of such outbreaks. Even so, this treatment does not address hand and foot sweating.

The key features of the miraDry procedure include:

Ø  It is a permanent solution to curtail excessive underarm sweating

Ø  miraDry treatment includes two sessions that are scheduled three months apart

Ø  Each miraDry treatment session lasts for about 60 minutes

Ø  miraDry deploys microwave beams to subject the sweat glands to heat, thereby destructing them safely and permanently

Ø  Patients can expect close to 85% in sweat reduction after the procedure

Ø  The treatment site is numbed; hence, patients do not experience much discomfort. Mild sedation is administered if required

Ø  The miraDry treatment comes with minimal downtime benefits, making it possible for patients to resume work the following day

Decoding how miraDry Works

The miraDry treatment entails delivering measured electromagnetic energy to the sweat glands located around the underarm areas. This procedure causes the elimination of the sweat glands, which is why the results are long-lasting.

Also, this procedure does not impact the body’s natural cooling process because only about 2% of the four million sweat glands in the body are destroyed.

Besides, the miraDry treatment includes two sessions; both sittings are spaced 3 months apart. Additionally, patients have reported about 85% reduction of underarm sweating after undergoing this innovative procedure.

It is important to note that sweaty hands and feet are not treatable with the miraDry system because these areas do not have an underlying fat layer.

Kosmoderma’s miraDry Procedure

At Kosmoderma, our skin professionals will first administer local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the miraDry session. Moreover, your underarms will be marked by a temporary tattoo, which indicates the target points to ensure precise delivery. Also, a hand device is used for easy access to your underarms.

As part of the miraDry procedure, patients may experience a small amount of suction, which ensures your skin is close to the surface of the equipment.

Thereafter, thermal energy does the trick. Low doses of this treatment energy penetrate the deep layers of your skin to eliminate the sweat glands while the cooling of the skin’s surface ensues. It takes between 25 to 30 minutes for the energy to work its magic on each underarm.

Almost 90% of people who have opted for the miraDry procedure have reported that their sweating has reduced by 85%, which means no sweat patches and odor in their underarms.

miraDry and its Many Benefits

The miraDry system is a comprehensive treatment that helps to eliminate excess underarm sweating permanently. Among the various benefits of this treatment are:

First, the miraDry procedure leads to the destruction of the sweat glands, which means they do not regenerate and the treatment results are permanent.

Second, your underarm sweat and odor reduces. Most people do not even have to apply deodorant after they undergo the miraDry treatment.

Third, patients notice a fall in underarm hair after the miraDry procedure. This happens because the hair follicles are disabled because of the high heat.

Finally, the miraDry procedure is deemed safe because the microwave energy is controlled and localized, which means it does not affect your underlying tissues.

What to expect from Kosmoderma’s miraDry procedure

Our skin experts at Kosmoderma will instruct you to shave your underarms 2-3 days before your scheduled miraDry treatment. Also, local anesthesia is applied to reduce any discomfort during the session. The treatment does not take more than 2 hours and all measures to make you comfortable during the procedure are taken.

You may experience swelling for about one week after the miraDry session and you can apply cold compress on the treatment area for a few days for a sense of relief.

Typically, you may need two miraDry treatment sessions that are spaced three months apart, after which you can enjoy the permanent results of this safe and painless procedure. Hurrah!
