What is MiraDry?
MiraDry is a treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis, practically painless, which has already been used by more than 155,000 people worldwide.
If you want to solve the problem of excessive sweating or bromhidrosis (unpleasant and uncontrollable sweat odor), this procedure offers you immediate and permanent results in just one session, without damaging the skin, fat or muscles.
It is FDA (Food & Drug Administration) authorized, clinically tested and safe.
Dr. Joana de Carvalho explains what the MiraDry treatment is.
MiraDry Treatment
The MiraDry procedure involves the safe and controlled heating of the layer between the skin and fat – where the sweat glands are located.
While the electromagnetic energy dissolves the glands, the device has a built-in cooling system that guarantees total comfort and safety during the treatment.
After one or two sessions, an average reduction of 80% in excessive sweating is achieved, with an inherent improvement in quality of life.
Contraindications
Almost everyone – men and women – who suffer from excessive sweating can benefit from this treatment.
There are few contraindications for MiraDry, including:
- People with a pacemaker or other type of electrical implant;
- Need for home oxygen therapy;
- Allergy to local anesthetic.
In these cases, you should consider another type of treatment and seek advice from your doctor.
