Patented miraDry® microwave thermal energy focusing technology is used to precisely control the heating of the skin and subcutaneous sweat glands in both larger and smaller areas. It disrupts the sweat glands and incorporates a patented water cooling system to protect the epidermis and prevent burns. miraDry® has obtained FDA certification and is a non-invasive treatment for underarm sweating, eliminating the need for surgery and lengthy recovery periods. It effectively improves issues such as excessive underarm sweating and odor.

Q&A:

Q: How long does the miraDry® system's effect last? Will the sweat be transferred to other areas?

A: The miraDry® microwave thermal energy system destroys the sweat glands, resulting in a permanent effect. This is a localized treatment and does not cause compensatory sweating in other areas.

If you experience the following conditions, please seek medical attention as soon as possible (you can go to the emergency room after office hours):

1. Numbness in the arms lasting for more than 24 hours.
