Miradry

MiraDry ® For The Treatment Of Underarm Sweat, Excessive Sweating (HYPERHYDROSIS) in Montreal Quebec Ottawa  What is MiraDry ®? MiraDry was produced by Miramar Lab of Sunnyvale, California, and was FDA Cleared in 2011 to treat axillary hyperhidrosis or excessive underarm sweating. It is now available in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. This non-invasive treatment eliminates underarm sweat with minimal to no downtime and with irreversible results. miraDry uses electromagnetic energy which is proven to be the ideal method for diminishing and getting rid of sweat and the odor glands. This treatment can help the individual boost their confidence by keeping their underarms dry in any kind of situation. Throughout the human body, there are roughly 2 million sweat glands. However, your underarms only carry 2% of those glands. After your miraDry procedure, you will experience the advantages of having dry underarms, and you will continue to perspire in a normal manner elsewhere in your body.

Procedure

The patient undergoing this procedure will lie back in a relaxed position for about one hour. Before the procedure, the patient’s underarms will be numbed by renowned plastic surgeon, Dr Gaby Doumit, to not feel any pain. Following the Miradry treatment, patients might experience swelling, soreness, tingling, and numbness in the treated regions. After a few days to a few weeks, these sensations normally disappear. Most patients can return to normal activities or work right after the procedure, and can typically resume exercise within several days.

How Mirady Works

Through the use of microwave energy, the miraDry system aims at destroying sweat and odor glands in your underarms. When glands are eliminated, they do not grow back again. Thus, the excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) will not recur.

Expectations

Patients undergoing this procedure can expect to have an instantaneous decrease in their sweat. Since the sweat glands do now grow back, patients should experience long-lasting results. It is advised that the patient discuss the amount of sweat reduction he or she desires with their miraDry treatment provider. In that way, the treatment provider will determine the most suitable treatment plan for each patient. As with any kind of treatment, the results might differ from one patient to the other. Typically, significant results (permanent reduction in excessive sweating) can be seen in as little as one treatment. Some patients may only require one treatment but, for optimal results, two procedures spaced three months apart might be advised.
