If you’re someone who constantly worries about sweat stains, excessive underarm wetness, or the embarrassment that can come with odor, we have a treatment that can change your life—literally. It’s called miraDry®, and it’s one of the most effective non-invasive solutions for sweat reduction available today.

With spring and summer right around the corner, now is the perfect time to learn how this innovative treatment can keep you cool, dry, and confident all year long. 

What is miraDry®? 

miraDry® is a FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that eliminates underarm sweat, odor glands, and even some hair using thermal energy. It targets and destroys the glands responsible for sweat and odor, providing lasting results—without the need for toxins or ongoing maintenance. 

What is Hyperhidrosis? 

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond what’s needed to regulate body temperature. While it can affect the whole body, it’s most commonly seen in the underarms, hands, feet, and face. People with hyperhidrosis often feel self-conscious and limited in their daily choices, from the clothes they wear to social and professional interactions. 

Areas Affected by Hyperhidrosis 

Common problem areas include: 

  • Underarms 
  • Palms of the hands 
  • Soles of the feet 
  • Face and scalp 

While miraDry® is currently FDA-cleared for treating the underarms, this area tends to be the most frequently impacted by both wetness and odor—and also the easiest to treat effectively. 

What Does miraDry® Treat? 

miraDry® specifically treats underarm sweat, odor, and hair. Whether you have diagnosed hyperhidrosis or simply find yourself constantly reapplying deodorant and ruining your clothes with sweat stains, miraDry® can be a game-changer. 

What to Expect During and After the Treatment 

The procedure is performed in-office and typically takes about an hour. Here’s what you can expect: 

  • A local anesthetic is administered to the underarms for comfort. 
  • The miraDry® handpiece is applied to the area, delivering precisely controlled energy to eliminate the sweat and odor glands. 
  • After treatment, most patients experience swelling, soreness, or numbness in the area for a few days to a few weeks, but this is manageable and temporary. 

When Will I See Results? 

The results are immediate and lasting. Most people notice a significant reduction in sweat and odor right after the first treatment, with full effects settling in over the following weeks. And because sweat glands don’t regenerate, results are permanent—a huge bonus compared to temporary treatments like Botox or prescription antiperspirants. 

Addressing Both Wetness and Odor 

miraDry® eliminates both the sweat glands and the odor-producing apocrine glands, so you’re tackling the root cause—not just masking it. That means: 

  • No more ruined clothes from sweat stains. 
  • Reduced need for strong deodorants or multiple applications. 
  • Increased freedom to wear the colors and styles you love. 

Are You a Candidate? 

If underarm sweat has ever made you feel uncomfortable, self-conscious, or limited your lifestyle in any way, miraDry® could be for you. Whether you’re dealing with hyperhidrosis or just want to stop worrying about sweat during the hotter months, our team at Wilmington Dermatology Center can help you determine if you’re a good candidate.
