Excessive underarm sweating can be treated using a device that delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to the armpit.
The energy heats the sweat glands, causing cellular thermolysis which destroys them. This results in an immediate and dramatic reduction in underarm sweat. Sweat glands do not grow back, so the treatment is long lasting.
At the present time, there is only one device available in clinics that uses electromagnetic energy to treat axillary hyperhidrosis, which is called miraDry.
miraDry is the first and only device cleared by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of excessive underarm sweat. The device has a strong safety record. In a clinical study, patients who were treated using miraDry experienced an average of 82% reduction in underarm sweat after two treatments.
