How miraDry works and what it treats

miraDry Fresh is an energy-based treatment that uses microwave energy with a cooling system. It targets the underarm area where sweat glands are located.

The miraDry system is FDA-cleared for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Underarm odor may improve as sweat-gland activity is reduced, but odor is not listed as the cleared indication. Individual results may vary.

The treatment is intended for the underarms and is not indicated for the hands or feet.

At Min Clinic, the treatment area is individually designed according to the patient’s underarm size, sweat distribution, and skin condition. The procedure is performed directly by a doctor.

Treatment usually begins with one session. If an additional treatment is considered necessary, the doctor assesses the patient’s condition, and another session may be considered at least six months after the first treatment.
