how does Miradry treatments work?
At the start of your treatment, we'll mark the area, clean it, and then numb it with a topical anesthetic to ensure optimal comfort. Next, we'll pass the miraDry wand across your skin, applying light suction to bring the sweat glands closer to the surface of the dermis. The miraWave tempered energy works on the perspiration and odor glands while the device keeps the surface of your skin cool. Once your session is complete, you are free to go home.
what to expect following miradry Treatment
After your treatment, you may experience temporary numbness, tingling, swelling, or soreness in your underarm area for a few days, but you should notice an instant decrease in underarm perspiration. Sweat glands do not come back once they've been destroyed, so your results will be long-lasting. To attain the best outcome possible, we highly recommend two treatments spaced about 2 – 3 months apart. You can return to your daily activities right after your procedure, but it's best to avoid strenuous activity, including exercise, for a few days.
