Anyone is a candidate for miraDry®, even if they do not suffer from excessive sweating. This treatment is ideal for any patient wanting to worry less about sweating and ruining their clothing.
You and your provider will discuss your concerns and evaluate your level of excess sweating during your consultation.
MiraDry® treatments are customized to the patient based on the severity of their hyperhidrosis.
Local anesthesia is administered to the underarm area to maintain comfort, and a temporary tattoo will mark the skin in preparation.
The miraDry® handpiece is positioned over the treatment zones, where controlled thermal energy is delivered to various areas of the underarm where the sweat glands reside.
This thermal energy heats and destroys the sweat glands without incisions or invasive treatment. Patients will feel a slight suction of the skin and glands as the thermal energy is delivered, but controlled cooling is delivered simultaneously to enhance comfort.
Many see dramatic results with one miraDry® treatment. While results are experienced immediately after the initial treatment, it is recommended to undergo two procedures spaced three months apart to maximize results. After a series of treatments, patients report a dramatic reduction in underarm sweat and a dramatic increase in sweat-free comfort and confidence.
Achieving lasting sweat reduction with miraDry® requires minimal to no downtime. Patients can return to their daily activities, including work, immediately after the procedure, and exercise can be resumed after a few days. Some patients experience localized soreness, swelling, and numbness in the underarms or upper arms, but this typically clears within a few weeks. Any lasting numbness should gradually disappear over the following months.
MiraDry® relies on laser technology. This treatment does not require any incisions, so it will not result in any post-treatment scarring.
Dr. Thompson and his staff at the Thompson Center for Plastic Surgery will provide you with a cost estimate for your miraDry® treatment during your consultation. Subsequent miraDry® treatments will cost less than the initial treatment.
MiraDry® is performed under a local anesthetic so that there will be no pain during the treatment session. Patients may experience some mild swelling and discomfort following the treatment that can be eased with an over-the-counter pain medication like TYLENOL® or the frequent use of ice packs.
Our staff is eager to answer all of your questions, help you schedule a consultation, and make the journey toward achieving the facial aesthetic you desire as easy and comfortable as possible.
