How Does It Work?

The miraDry system uses proprietary thermal energy that targets and destroys sweat and odor glands in the underarm region. miraDry is a quick, non-surgical sweat reduction treatment procedure performed under local anaesthesia. The miraDry device precisely delivers thermal energy to the underarm sweat glands to permanently eliminate them. We specialize in miraDry treatment for excessive underarm sweating and provide you with a full medical assessment of your condition. Our miraDry treatment is available at all our Skin City clinics.

Who Can Be Treated With miraDry?

What Is The miraDry Procedure Like?

  • First we will see you in consultation to review everything with you and to discuss any questions you might have.
  • The procedure itself involves cleansing the underarm skin and applying a properly sized marking grid to the skin. We will inject local anesthesia (numbing) into the underarm to provide more comfort during the procedure. There is little to no pain for most patients.
  • There are no surgical incisions or cuts.
  • The miraDry handpiece is then applied multiple times over the underarm while you lay back in a reclined position. The visit lasts about 1-1.5 hours.

What Results Can I Expect?

Lasting results – sweat glands don’t come back after the treatment. The results are dramatic and immediate. You can expect 82% average sweat reduction after 2 treatments.
