Description of the procedure
The MiraDry apparatus acts on the armpits with focused ultrasound energy. As a result, the sweat glands become non-viable.
Energy penetrates only 5-6 mm, exactly to the depth where the sweat glands are located. Thus, the tissues, blood vessels and vital systems of the body are not involved and are not damaged. The long-term effect of the procedure is ensured by the inability of the sweat glands to regenerate.
Advantages of the procedure
- Getting rid of sweat and odor in one hour's procedure. 80% of patients only need to undergo ONE Miradry® procedure and forget about wet armpits forever. In rare cases, a second procedure may be necessary.
- All-season procedure. Miradry can be held at any time of the year.
- Suitable for most patients. Skin and hair color do not affect the result of the procedure. Miradry is equally effective for men and women.
- Complete solution to the problem of sweating. After the Miradry® procedure, there is no need to resort to shaving, antiperspirants and injecting Botox into the armpits.
- Quick result. Most patients note a significant decrease in sweating on the first day after the procedure.
