The FDA approved treatment, miraDry, uses microwave energy to stop excessive underarm sweating.
The miraDry system is a novel microwave energy device that can be used to treat axillary hyperhidrosis through selective heating of the lower layer of skin, where the eccrine and apocrine glands are located. Patient satisfaction with the procedure is high, and adverse events are typically transient and well tolerated. This system provides a durable, noninvasive alternative therapeutic modality for patients with this common and frustrating problem. Results are dramatic and lasting, because the sweat glands don’t grow back once eliminated.

Thermolysis of Sweat Glands Provides Lasting Results
The miraDry System delivers precisely controlled microwave energy non-invasively to the region where the sweat glands reside. The energy generates heat which results in thermolysis of the sweat glands. At the same time, a continuous hydro-ceramic cooling system protects the superficial dermis and keeps heat at the level of the sweat glands. Because sweat glands do not regenerate after treatment, the results are significant and lasting. Most patients report a dramatic reduction of their sweat – in a recent clinical study, the average sweat reduction was 82%.

Short-term adverse events related to the therapy were generally minor. Post-treatment edema, erythema, and discomfort in the treatment area were common and resolved quickly after therapy. Some patients experienced longer-lasting transient effects, such as altered sensation in or around the treatment area, papule and nodule formation in the axilla, and hair loss.
