Treatments
How does it work & Benefits
MiraDry is a non-invasive procedure that helps control excessive underarm sweat and odor using electromagnetic energy. It works by permanently eliminating the axillary sweat-producing glands located under the armpits, which greatly reduces sweat and its odor. A safe and effective treatment for the problem of hyperhidrosis. Studies have shown that using the device does not affect the body’s ability to cool itself, as the number of sweat glands exceeds 4 million, only 2% of which are found in the armpit area.
Benefits:
Immediate removal of underarm perspiration and the unpleasant odor associated with sweat
Pre & Post
• You should shave your armpit hair four to six days before treatment because the presence of some hair helps the doctor locate the sweat glands.
• Wear dark, loose-fitting, or sleeveless clothing so that it does not get stained.
• Do not wear any deodorant or antiperspirant.
• Immediately ice the treated area using towel-wrapped ice packs and use non-prescription anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling
