The Official Sweat Hospital

While your body does need sweat glands to cool itself, your body has 2-4 million sweat glands and only about 2% are found in your underarms. Eliminating 2% of sweat glands does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself. After miraDry, you will experience the many benefits of reducing sweat in the underarm area, but you will continue to sweat normally in other areas of your body.

miraDry uses thermal energy to create heat in the area where bothersome sweat and odour glands reside and safely eliminates them.

You can expect immediate and lasting results. Once the miraDry treatment eliminates the sweat and odour glands, they’re gone for good. The treatment is clinically proven to have an average of 82% sweat reduction and 89% odour reduction.1,5 As with any aesthetic treatment, patient results and experiences may vary.

You can see results in as little as one treatment. However, as with any aesthetic treatment, your physician will determine the best protocol for your desired results.
