Do you sweat excessively under your arms? Do you find yourself applying deodorant several times a day and need to keep a fresh change of clothes nearby just in case?

Stop Wearing Deodorant/Antiperspirants
miraDry eliminates the sweat glands, so you won’t have to wear deodorant anymore. This will save you money and eliminate deodorant stains on your favourite clothing.
Increased Self-Confidence
If you sweat excessively, your self-confidence may be affected. You’ll feel more confident after a miraDry treatment as your underarm sweating problem will no longer be an issue.
Feel Clean, Smell Clean and Never Shave Again
It’s hard to feel clean if you’re dripping in underarm sweat. You’ll feel clean the entire day after undergoing miraDry treatments. miraDry also kills the hair follicles of your underarm, so you can reduce the need to shave. miraDry also destroys the sebaceous glands, so underarm body odour, or “B.O”, will be gone.
Immediate and Long-Lasting Results
You’ll enjoy the results of miraDry immediately after the procedure. The results will be long-lasting and may even be permanent.
miraDry is a non-invasive treatment, and complications are rare. Still, patients should review the possible risks before undergoing miraDry at SpaMedica.
Underarm Swelling and Redness
Some patients experience underarm swelling and redness after undergoing miraDry treatments. This normally goes away after a few weeks.
Soreness
Some soreness is normal after a miraDry treatment. While it typically subsides within several days, others report feeling sore for several weeks.
Numbness and Tingling
It is possible to experience numbness and tingling after a miraDry treatment. This normally resolves itself within five weeks.
Permanent Nerve Injury
While extremely rare, it is possible to experience nerve injury. Your Consultant will discuss this risk in detail during the consultation.

Other energy-based technologies that can be inserted in the underarm skin under local anesthesia and used to heat and destroy a percentage of sweat glands are AccuTite, FaceTite, and Smartlipo. They all use under the skin heating (either RF or laser) to target and damage the sweat glands and can reduce sweating 50-75%. However, miraDry is external contact and non-invasive and has a higher permanent reduction success rate.
Botox injectable to the underarm can reduce sweating by 80% or more and this can last 8-12 months. The problem with Botox injectable to control underarm sweating is that it must be repeated at least once a year, and this can get expensive.
