MiraDry®Procedures
What to Expect During the miraDry® Procedure
✦ Pre-Treatment Preparation
To ensure a comfortable experience, a local anesthetic is first applied to the underarm area. This numbing process makes the treatment virtually painless. You’ll stay fully awake and relaxed throughout the session.
✦ Customized Treatment Mapping
Each underarm is individually mapped to pinpoint sweat gland zones. Your provider will carefully mark the treatment areas to guide the miraDry® handpiece for precise, even coverage.
✦ Targeted miraDry® Energy Delivery
Once mapped, the miraDry® device is applied to each section of the underarm. Controlled thermal energy penetrates beneath the skin to permanently eliminate sweat and odor glands, targeting one area at a time until the entire region is treated.
✦ Continuous Comfort Monitoring
The miraDry® device includes built-in cooling technology to protect the skin and maintain comfort throughout the procedure. Your provider will monitor you closely to ensure a safe and smooth experience.
✦ Quick, One-Hour Procedure
The entire treatment takes about one hour for both underarms. There are no incisions, no sutures, and no downtime—making it a quick, convenient, in-office solution.
