What is miraDry?

miraDry is the only non-surgical, FDA-cleared hyperhidrosis treatment, permanently reducing excessive underarm sweating. During the miraDry treatment, you will sit in a reclined position. Your provider will then mark the treatment area. Your underarms will be numbed to help ensure a comfortable treatment experience. Then, the special miraDry handpiece will be used to treat the sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. At our office, we have the latest miraDry system, so patients only need to undergo 1-2 treatments to eliminate underarm sweat and odor.

What are the benefits of miraDry?

There are numerous benefits to choosing miraDry for your sweat reduction treatment. Those who experience excessive sweating often resort to deodorant and antiperspirant with aluminum components. Aluminum keeps the body from sweating, but some question its safety. Choosing miraDry eliminates the need for these aluminum deodorants and the possible health risks and high price tags they come with. As well as health benefits, miraDry can save you time, money, and stress when it comes to keeping your clothes clean from sweat. Having dry underarms can help you lead a more confident and comfortable life.

How does miraDry work?

After the underarm sweat glands been numbed and are ready for treatment, your clinician will place the miraDry handpiece directly on the skin. Then, you will feel a slight suction as the sweat and odor glands are brought closer to the surface. miraWave™ energy is then delivered and the sweat glands are destroyed. Controlled cooling is applied to the treatment area the entire time to ensure your comfort.

What to Expect During Your miraDry Appointment 

Your miraDry appointment at Straith Clinic is designed to be comfortable and highly personalized to your needs. Before treatment begins, a Registered Nurse will review your concerns and candidacy, then map the underarm area to ensure precise energy delivery to the underarm area. Local anesthesia is used to help you maintain comfort throughout the procedure. Once treatment starts, the miraDry handpiece delivers controlled thermal energy to target and permanently eliminate sweat glands beneath the skin while protecting the surface layers. Most appointments take one hour, making miraDry a convenient option for patients seeking long-term relief from excessive underarm sweating without surgery.

MiraDry Treatment Recovery and Results 

Recovery after miraDry is typically mild, with most patients returning to normal daily activities within 1–2 days. We recommend that patients with physically demanding jobs, regular workouts, or sports plan accordingly and avoid strenuous activity for 3–5 days after treatment. Patients can expect temporary swelling, tenderness, or numbness in the underarm area is common and usually resolves on its own with consistent icing and over-the-counter pain relief. In the weeks following treatment, patients typically notice a significant, lasting reduction in underarm sweat; many see noticeable results after just one session. Some patients may benefit from a second treatment, which we recommend scheduling within 3 months to 1 year of the initial session. Because sweat glands do not regenerate, results are permanent. Patients often report not only drier underarms, but also reduced odor, less hair, and improved confidence in both professional and social settings.

Who is a candidate?

Individuals who are bothered by excessive underarm sweat and are tired of seeing underarm stains on their shirts can often benefit from miraDry. However, a consultation is needed to help determine if this FDA-cleared treatment is right for you.

MiraDry vs. Other Hyperhidrosis Treatments 

Compared to traditional hyperhidrosis treatments, miraDry offers a long-term solution rather than temporary symptom control. Prescription antiperspirants, oral medications, and Botox injections can reduce sweating, but their effects are short-lived and require ongoing maintenance. This treatment addresses the root cause by permanently eliminating sweat glands in the treated area. This non-surgical approach avoids repeated injections for hyperhidrosis and daily antiperspirant use, making it an appealing option for patients seeking a durable and low-maintenance solution.
