Overview of the Technique, Duration, and Comfort Level

miraDry is an innovative treatment designed to dramatically reduce underarm sweat, odour, and hair by employing microwave technology. This non-invasive solution involves a three-part process: numbing with local anesthesia for comfort, precise marking for treatment accuracy, and the actual miraDry application. Typically, treating both underarms takes between one and one and a half hours. Concerns about discomfort are addressed with the use of fine needles to administer anesthesia, ensuring a pain-managed experience.

Hyperhidrosis treatment with miraDry® is extremely effective. Research shows that after one month, 93% of people were no longer bothered by sweat. 80% no longer found odor a problem.

MiraDry has been approved by the TGA and is a safe treatment when performed by a trained medical practitioner. MiraDry has a very strong safety record and although there are risks of complications and side effects, like all medical treatments, the risk of this happening is rare.

Following the procedure, patients will experience localized soreness and swelling in the treated area, which should dissipate within 2-3 weeks.

Some patients experience temporary, short-term changes in sensation, which may include tingling or numbness, in the skin of their underarms or upper arms, which also dissipates gradually over time.

Results are immediate, and patients should experience continued improvement in sweat and odor reduction in the coming weeks. Final results are assumed at 3 months.

Patients who experience excessive underarm sweating that impacts on their lifestyle will benefit from MiraDry treatment.

Most patients will only require a single treatment. However, approximately 20% of patients will require a second treatment to achieve the results they are after.
