Are you tired of dealing with excessive underarm sweating or odor? With spring and summer quickly approaching, now’s the perfect time to learn more about our miraDry® treatment, which provides long-lasting results for issues with underarm sweating! It’s a great way to get your confidence back just in time for Georgia’s hot and humid weather, so you can live your best life without discomfort or embarrassment.
What is miraDry®?
This non-surgical treatment uses microwave technology to target sweat glands under the arms with electromagnetic energy. It’s designed for the underarm area, as this portion of your body has only a fraction of the total number of sweat glands, allowing it to still cool properly once removed. It also has a built-in cooling system that minimizes discomfort for patients and helps prevent skin overheating. Once the sweat glands are treated, they cannot regenerate, making this treatment highly effective in providing long-lasting results for patients.
Who Benefits From miraDry®?
Patients who deal with conditions like hyperhidrosis or who experience excessive sweating are great candidates for miraDry®. It can be used on both men and women and is FDA-approved for the elimination of sweat glands in the underarm region. Some patients achieve desired results after one treatment, while others require multiple sessions to fully deactivate the targeted sweat glands.
How the Recovery Process Works
The session itself can be completed in less than an hour. Your provider will administer numbing injections into the targeted area to minimize discomfort. It is recommended to take the day off after your treatment to rest and recover. Any discomfort will fade after a few days of the treatment, while swelling may last for a couple of weeks after the session, depending on the patient. Other side effects may include temporary numbness and tingling in the underarm region.
With hotter temperatures and pool days on the horizon, be proactive in addressing your excessive underarm sweating with miraDry®! It’s a great option for adults who are tired of dealing with odor, sweat stains, and overall sweat issues.
