What is miraDry®?

Excessive underarm sweat is not only embarrassing, but it can take a toll on your social interactions as well. Using precisely controlled heat-based energy, miraDry® can permanently eliminate sweat glands in the underarms to dramatically reduce underarm sweat. A miraDry® treatment significantly decreases excessive underarm sweating and odor glands with immediate results.

miraDry® patients see an 85 percent or greater reduction in sweating as well as a reduction in odor. Traditional antiperspirants only provide a 20 percent reduction in sweat and odor. For women, there can be a wanted reduction in underarm hair after treatment. Men will still retain their underarm hair after the procedure as they tend to have so much more, but may find it to be slightly thinner than before.

Dr. Jennifer is the best! There are lots of options in this area when it comes to Botox and fillers and some people are better than others at projecting the outcome. She is very straight forward, tells you exactly how much she will be doing, what the results will be and at what cost. I have referred her to many of my friends all to their delight. - Anonymous

BEFORE YOUR MIRADRY PROCEDURE

You’ll meet with one of the JanigaMDs team members for a consultation where you’ll discuss the treatment options for underarm sweat and odor. The burden of underarm sweat can be challenging, and our team will help you understand your next steps. Treating axillary hyperhidrosis can have an immense impact on your day-to-day life and we look forward to helping you have confidence for whatever life throws at you.

YOUR MIRADRY PROCEDURE

miraDry® treatment takes about one and a half hours and involves little discomfort and immediate and lasting results after one treatment. When you visit JanigaMDs for your procedure, your axilla will be cleaned, then local anesthesia will be placed with injections. Then, the specialized handpiece will be used to treat one axilla at a time. Most patients describe it as a slight warming or suction sensation, but it’s not painful. Each armpit takes between 15-45 minutes to complete depending on your body size. After the procedure, the area is cleaned and you’re free to go.

AFTER YOUR MIRADRY PROCEDURE

After miraDry treatment, you can expect some swelling, redness, and tenderness in your treatment area for a few days. You may also see something like mild bruising on the skin – this is normal and will resolve like a normal bruise would. These aftereffects typically subside within a few days. We ask you to refrain from working out for the first week after your treatment, but most patients will not need to change their usual day-to-day plans or work schedule during recovery. Your specific needs based on your job and unique situation will be addressed during your initial consultation and re-affirmed after your procedure.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER MIRADRY

Generally, patients see results after only a single treatment, but we’ll work with you to determine a personalized course of treatment that maximizes your results. Some patients will want an additional treatment to achieve their ideal results, but most patients are very satisfied after one session.
