The miraDry treatment is a gentle procedure without strong side effects. Typical surgical methods, such as cutting through the nerve supply or suction of the sweat glands, have been replaced by the gentle microwave procedure of the miraDry treatment. The side effects of the miraDry treatment are relatively low: slight swelling can occur in the area around the armpits; a slight redness on the skin may also be present. However, these side effects disappear after about two weeks.
Small bruises may occur due to the injection of the anaesthetic. Boils and bumps can form after the treatment but heal after about two months. A sensitivity to touch in the armpits can also occur for a period of about two months. Slight pain, numbness and tingling are typical yet quickly fading side effects of the miraDry treatment.
