MiraDry
Excessive underarm sweating can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing. MiraDry® offers a non-surgical solution for those tired of relying on antiperspirants to manage sweat. At Aesthetic Avenue in La Cañada Flintridge, CA, we provide this advanced treatment to effectively reduce underarm sweat, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your daily life.
What is MiraDry?
MiraDry® is a safe, FDA-cleared treatment that provides long-lasting relief from excessive underarm sweating. It works by delivering precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to the sweat glands under your arms. This energy targets and eliminates these glands, significantly reducing sweat production. Since your body has millions of sweat glands and only about 2% are located under your arms, this treatment won’t affect your body’s ability to cool itself.
What are the Benefits of MiraDry?
- Permanent Sweat Reduction: MiraDry offers a lasting solution by permanently reducing underarm sweat.
- Odor Control: In addition to reducing sweat, the treatment also targets odor-causing glands, leaving you feeling fresher throughout the day.
- Hair Reduction: As a bonus, MiraDry can also reduce underarm hair, giving you smoother skin.
- Quick and Non-Surgical: The procedure is non-invasive, with most treatments taking about an hour. You can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.
- Immediate Results: Many patients notice a significant reduction in sweat right after the treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for MiraDry?
MiraDry is an excellent option for those experiencing excessive underarm sweating, known as hyperhidrosis. It’s ideal for individuals who haven’t found relief with antiperspirants or other treatments, offering a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures like surgery or Botox injections. Additionally, MiraDry provides a long-lasting solution, helping you eliminate concerns about sweat stains and odor.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your MiraDry session at Aesthetic Avenue begins with a consultation. On the day of treatment, a local anesthetic is applied for comfort, and the MiraDry® device is used to eliminate sweat glands. The procedure typically takes about an hour, with mild swelling, redness, or tenderness afterward, which usually resolves within a few days. The results are immediate, significantly reducing sweat right away.
