The Gallery below depicts before-and-after images of actual patients. The pictures show improvement in symptoms after treatment with miraDry.
How miraDry Sweat Reduction Works
The miraDry procedure typically lasts one hour. Your provider will use the handheld device to deliver electromagnetic energy to the skin, eliminating underarm sweat glands. We will provide detailed instructions for adequate preparation and recovery.
Before & Preparation
- Shave your underarm hair two to three days before the procedure.
- You will receive local anesthesia injected into your underarms to minimize discomfort and elevate the skin to provide a barrier between the heated device and important underlying structures.
- Your provider will mark the treatment areas with a template to use as a guide.
During the Procedure
- Your provider will glide the handheld device over your underarms.
- The handpiece will create a suction-like sensation on the skin to elevate and ensure access to the sweat glands. This feeling might be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful.
- The miraDry system contains a cooling technology to help minimize discomfort.
- The procedure typically takes one to two hours to complete.
Aftercare & Recovery
- You might experience mild underarm soreness, redness, bruising, and tenderness for a few days.
- Some patients also report numbness and tingling in the upper arm and underarm areas. This is a possible side effect of local anesthesia.
- We may advise you to take over-the-counter pain medications and apply ice packs to your underarms for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
- Avoid shaving, antiperspirants/deodorants, tight shirts, and strenuous activities for at least one week.
- Typically, most patients resume normal activities after treatment.
- It is possible to experience excessive sweating up to 2 weeks after the procedure. This symptom will eventually resolve independently.
Treatment Areas
miraDry is designed specifically to treat excessive sweating in the underarms. This is the best treatment area because of its high concentration of sweat glands. Plus, it’s easily accessible for the device to safely and effectively remove those sweat glands.
miraDry uses thermal energy which works well in the shallow tissue of the underarm but may not be safe or effective on other areas like the hands or feet. Because of this, miraDry is currently FDA-cleared only for underarm use.
Am I a Good Candidate for miraDry Sweat Reduction?
Most people are good candidates for miraDry sweat reduction. You are a good candidate for miraDry if:
- Are 18 or older (parental consent needed for minors)
- Sweat excessively
- Feel conscious about your underarm sweat
- Are looking for a permanent solution or a long-lasting solution
Health Restrictions: miraDry is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an allergy to local anesthesia, have a pacemaker or other electronic implants, or currently have an infection or rash in your underarm area.
Similar & Related Procedures
- Dermadry: Dermadry is a non-invasive, at-home device that uses iontophoresis to target sweat glands. It’s convenient and cost-effective for treating hands, feet, and underarms. However, it requires frequent sessions and doesn’t offer permanent results like miraDry.
- Botox: Botox involves multiple small injections that temporarily block the nerves stimulating sweat glands. It’s quick and effective with minimal downtime. The downside is that results only last about six months, making miraDry a better long-term solution.
- Laser Sweat Ablation: This uses laser energy delivered through small incisions to destroy sweat glands. It can precisely target affected areas, but unlike miraDry, it carries risks related to incisions and requires a longer recovery.
- Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy: ETS is a surgical procedure that interrupts nerve signals responsible for sweating. It typically requires just one session and is highly effective. However, it’s invasive and carries surgical risks.

miraDry Reviews
I had the Miradry procedure done with Ortal and Corrie. I was extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend doing the procedure with them. They were both very knowledgeable and followed up multiple times afterwards to make sure I was healing up well. Could not have asked for a better experience overall!
Sean G.
I had the best experience with Spa 26 and Dr. Nazarian and team! Everyone was so kind, warm, and professional! This was my first visit, and I felt genuinely cared for, comfortable, and taken care of! The PicoLaser treatment was quick, not painful, and I’m excited to see the results!
Rebecca Seltzer
Ortal is the best! She truly listens to your needs and preferences, making sure you feel comfortable and cared for throughout the session. Her touch is just right, and her attention to each area is exceptional. I really appreciate how she offers thoughtful suggestions based on her expertise to help address any problem areas. Highly recommend!
Tania Shparaga
The office is spacious and inviting, and the office staff is very attentive. I had the pleasure of meeting Ortal, the PA. She was very professional. She had great advice and felt confident in her work. I had some Botox done by her and I’m very pleased. Highly recommend.
