MiraDry: A Treatment that Permanently Eliminate Excessive Sweating

MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment to end excessive underarm sweating permanently.

Authorized for some years by the US FDA and currently by the EU, MiraDry is an effective method to permanently treat excessive sweating. Not in vain it has been used in the American country for four years with surprising results.

This innovative treatment has become the perfect solution for the population that suffers from the discomfort caused by excessive sweating, both aesthetically and socially. It is estimated that it affects 20% of the world’s population. In Spain alone, it is believed that more than a million people have hyperhidrosis.

The method uses a device that transmits microwaves, that is, it sends energy through short waves to the armpits . The heat generated destroys the sweat glands. As these are not regenerated, the process is permanent.

The treatment lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. It is carried out under local anesthesia. The patient must have shaved the armpits 4-6 days before for the method to be effective. Generally, a single session is enough to eliminate sweating in this area of the body. For those who suffer from hyperhidrosis, two sessions are recommended .

At the end of the treatment, the patient may feel discomfort in the armpits, some pain and swelling , effects that will disappear after a few days. The doctor will prescribe pain relievers and apply some ice to the area.

In those cases of people who suffer from excessive sweating, the sweat glands are activated when they should be at rest, so they produce 4 or 5 times more fluid than your body needs . This significantly complicates your life due to the consequences that excess humidity has in your day to day: stains, smell, sensation of humidity.
