How Many miraDry® Treatments Will I Need?

How Does miraDry® Work?

The miraDry® system works by using thermal energy to target sweat glands. These glands are found all over your body, but the ones under your arms can become over-active. Excessive sweat not only stains your clothes and makes you hesitant to engage in some activities but also feeds bacteria that can produce odor. A miraDry® treatment uses electromagnetic energy that heats your sweat glands, deactivating them and stopping sweat production. As a bonus, it also targets hair follicles, reducing underarm hair. 

How Many miraDry® Treatments Will I Need?

People who have miraDry® treatments may have significant excessive sweating. However, others want to put an end to the maintenance of their underarm area. Treatments with miraDry® make an excellent option for those with every degree of underarm sweating, odor, and underarm hair. Most people benefit from a single miraDry® treatment. People with hyperhidrosis may need a second treatment to manage their condition fully. 

Sweat glands do not grow back, letting miraDry® results last many years. While sweat and odor will not return, you may see a few hairs regrow in the area over time. These can be easily treated if you want to eliminate them when they appear. Most people only need one miraDry® treatment to achieve lifetime results. 

What is a miraDry® Treatment Like?

Your Premier Vein & Body provider applies numbing to your underarm area and then places a temporary grid to guide the treatment. The miraDry® handpiece uses advanced cooling technology to protect your skin throughout treatment. Most people feel warmth and sometimes suction as the handpiece lifts and treats the skin, but no discomfort. Most miraDry® treatments take about an hour. However, the numbing treatment takes a few extra minutes to take effect. Your provider will let you know what to expect throughout your visit. 

What Results Will I See With miraDry®?

FDA-cleared miraDry® has demonstrated proven results in decreasing sweat, odor, and hair. Many people start to see results within a day or two, with an immediate decrease in sweating. Hair removal results can take a few weeks as the hairs are shed and do not grow back.

Some people wonder if stopping underarm sweat with miraDry® could have health effects. Fortunately, underarm sweat plays an extremely minor role in cooling you off, so your body will have no problem doing that job after miraDry® treatments.
