The Short Answer
miraDry uses precisely targeted microwave energy to eliminate the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. Because those glands do not regenerate, the reduction is permanent. Your underarms hold only about two percent of the body's sweat glands, so treating them does not affect your ability to cool down.

What Is miraDry and How Does It Work?
miraDry uses precisely targeted microwave energy to eliminate the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. Because those glands do not regenerate, the reduction is permanent.
Your underarms hold only about two percent of the body's sweat glands, so removing them there does not affect your ability to cool down. Most clients need just one treatment, with some choosing a second for maximum reduction.
Benefits of miraDry
Permanent Results
Sweat and odor glands do not grow back, so the reduction lasts.
No More Antiperspirant
Most clients stop needing daily antiperspirant entirely.
One Appointment
A single visit under local anesthetic, and you return to your day.
Permanent, Not Ongoing
Unlike Botox for sweating, which is repeated every few months, miraDry is a one-time treatment for most clients.
Reduces Odor Too
It targets odor glands as well as sweat glands, which antiperspirants only mask.
No Surgery or Scarring
Energy is delivered through the skin, so there is no incision and no scar.
What miraDry Addresses
Myth vs. Fact: miraDry
Myth
“Blocking underarm sweat is unhealthy or dangerous.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
Your underarms contain roughly two percent of your body's sweat glands. Eliminating them there does not impair thermoregulation, and clinical follow-up has not shown compensatory sweating elsewhere as a meaningful problem.
Myth
“Botox for sweating is basically the same thing.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
Botox for hyperhidrosis works well but wears off in four to six months, so it becomes an ongoing expense. miraDry destroys the glands, so most clients are done after one treatment.
Myth
“I'll be back to normal the next day.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
This is a real procedure. Expect underarm swelling, firmness and tenderness for several days, sometimes a couple of weeks, and occasionally temporary numbness. Sweat reduction is immediate, but recovery deserves planning.
