There are three steps to the procedure:
Your underarm is numbed with local anesthesia.
The miraDry handpiece is placed on the underarm and a vacuum suction draws the sweat glands closer to the surface to protect deeper tissue. Non-invasive energy is delivered through the skin which penetrates the sweat glands eliminating them.At the same time, a cooling system protects the skin and keeps the heat energy at the targeted area of the sweat glands, so patient comfort is assured throughout the procedure.
You will experience a significant reduction in underarm sweat and odour after just one treatment with miraDry. Studies have shown that miraDry will cause, on average, an 80% long term reduction in underarm sweating from baseline levels. If you do not get the results that you were hoping for after one treatment, a second treatment can be undertaken at any point in the future after 3 months. At PHI you will be offered a review at this point so we can discuss the results and the need for any further treatment.
