This treatment destroys the sweat glands, is this harmful?

No. There are approximately 2 to 4 million sweat glands throughout the body. MiraDry acts specifically on the underarms. By eliminating approximately 2% from the glands, it does not compromise the body's ability to regulate temperature naturally.

How many sessions do I need to eliminate excessive underarm sweating?

In some cases, this result is achieved with just one session, while others may require a second treatment session. Most patients resolve the problem after two sessions. Clinical trials demonstrate an 82% reduction in excess sweating and an 89% reduction in odor.

Is MiraDry a safe procedure?

This procedure has extremely high safety levels. This treatment is FDA-approved. More than 140,000 treatments have been performed worldwide. In addition to being clinically tested, it is performed in the office under local anesthesia and has no definitive side effects.

Can I return to normal life after treatment?

Yes, but you should postpone physical exercise for a few days. During the first two days, you may experience some swelling in your armpits, slight discomfort, or numbness in the treated area. All of these symptoms are temporary and will eventually disappear.

What is Excessive Underarm Sweating?

Axillary hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweat production by the sweat glands, a production far above physiological needs.

It is a very uncomfortable situation and can bring an associated problem: the unpleasant odor known as bromhidrosis.

The two situations do not always occur simultaneously and have nothing to do with poor hygiene.

A strong sweat odor may result from the multiplication of bacteria in this area due to increased humidity and lack of skin respiration. However, it may also be due to overstimulation of the apocrine sweat glands, which are responsible for the odor.

Causes

In most cases, there's no medical reason for excessive sweating. It's simply that the sweat glands are overactive and produce too much sweat. More often, this condition has a genetic basis and is called primary hyperhidrosis.

Rarely, hyperhidrosis can be caused by other conditions, such as hormonal disorders. However, in these cases, it tends to be generalized hyperhidrosis, not confined to the armpits. In any case, whenever necessary, the doctor will order a test to rule out other causes.
