Sweat reduction treatments have significantly evolved, providing lasting solutions for those struggling with excessive underarm sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. At Laser Derm Med Spa, one of the most effective and sought-after treatments we offer is miraDry. This innovative technology not only reduces sweat but also addresses odor and underarm hair. In this article, we’ll explore the longevity of the miraDry treatment and what clients can expect from their sessions.
Understanding miraDry: What Is It?
miraDry is a non-invasive treatment that uses microwave technology to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. The procedure is FDA-cleared and has a high safety profile. It works by delivering controlled electromagnetic energy to the underarm area, heating and destroying the sweat and odor glands. Since these glands do not regenerate once removed, the results are typically permanent.
How Long Does miraDry Last?
One of the most compelling aspects of miraDry is the permanency of its results. Here’s what you can expect in terms of duration and effectiveness:
- Permanent Sweat Reduction: Since the sweat glands are destroyed and do not come back after treatment, the reduction in sweating is permanent. Most clients experience a dramatic reduction in sweat immediately after the first session.
- Long-Term Odor Control: Similar to sweat glands, the odor glands are also permanently eliminated. This means any odor associated with sweat from the treated areas is significantly reduced if not entirely gone.
- Reduction in Underarm Hair: Although not its primary purpose, miraDry also affects hair follicles in the treatment area. Many patients notice a reduction in underarm hair, which is an added benefit for those looking for a cleaner underarm appearance.
What to Expect During a miraDry Session
Here’s a brief overview of what happens during a miraDry treatment at Laser Derm Med Spa:
- Consultation: Each treatment begins with a personalized consultation to assess your suitability for miraDry and discuss your expectations.
- Procedure: The underarm area is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure comfort. The miraDry device is then used to deliver energy precisely to the area where sweat and odor glands reside. The whole process typically takes about one hour.
- Recovery: There is minimal to no downtime after the procedure. Patients can return to normal activities immediately, although they may experience some temporary swelling, numbness, or sensitivity in the treated area.
Effectiveness of miraDry
The effectiveness of miraDry is well-documented, with clinical studies showing an average sweat reduction of 82%. Most clients achieve desired results in just one to two treatments, although individual results can vary based on the severity of their condition.
