MiraDry

Step into a world of comfort and confidence with Dr. Sony Truong's MiraDry procedure. MiraDry is a revolutionary, FDA-approved treatment designed to permanently reduce underarm sweat, odor, and hair - all in a single session. Say goodbye to deodorants and excessive sweating, and hello to lasting freshness.

Benefits of MiraDry

MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment that targets and eliminates sweat and odor glands in the underarms using thermal energy. Here are some of the key benefits of the procedure:

  • Reduction of Underarm Sweat: The primary benefit of MiraDry is its ability to dramatically reduce underarm sweat. It uses thermal energy to target and eliminate sweat glands in the underarm area. Once these glands have been eliminated, they do not grow back, resulting in a long-term solution for excessive sweating.
  • Elimination of Odor: Besides addressing excessive sweating, MiraDry also helps reduce underarm odor. As it eliminates the sweat glands, which are often the source of the odor, patients can experience a significant reduction in underarm smell.
  • Safe and FDA Approved: MiraDry is approved by the FDA, ensuring the procedure's safety and effectiveness. It has an excellent safety record with no permanent side effects reported.
  • Potential for Hair Removal: Some sources suggest that MiraDry may also offer the benefit of permanent hair removal, regardless of skin or hair color.

What Can MiraDry Address?

MiraDry is primarily designed to address certain issues, but like any procedure, it also has potential side effects or issues. Here's a comprehensive list:

  • Excessive Sweating: MiraDry addresses axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating, by eliminating sweat glands in the underarm area.
  • Underarm Odor: By eradicating sweat glands, MiraDry also reduces underarm odor associated with sweat.
  • Antiperspirant Allergies: For people who are allergic to antiperspirants, MiraDry provides a solution to manage underarm sweat without causing any allergic reactions.
  • Staining and Damage to Clothing: Excessive underarm sweat can stain and even damage clothing over time. MiraDry helps prevent this by significantly reducing sweat production.
  • Social Anxiety and Embarrassment: Excessive sweating and body odor can lead to social anxiety and embarrassment. By addressing these issues, MiraDry can boost self-confidence.

Ideal Candidates for MiraDry

  • Individuals suffering from excessive underarm sweat.
  • Those struggling with persistent underarm odor.
  • Individuals who frequently shave or wax their underarms.
  • Those who experience skin irritation or darkening from deodorants or shaving.
  • Individuals seeking a non-surgical solution to underarm issues.
  • People looking for a boost in self-confidence and comfort.
  • Those who are in good health and have realistic expectations.
  • Non-smokers.

    • Consultation

    During your consultation, Dr. Truong will discuss your concerns, assess your suitability for the treatment, and explain the MiraDry procedure in detail. He will guide you through the entire process, ensuring a comfortable and satisfying journey towards sweat-free living.

    Treatment Options

    While antiperspirants and Botox injections can also address excessive sweating, MiraDry offers a more permanent and comprehensive solution. Dr. Truong will discuss these alternatives during your consultation to help you make an informed decision.

    What happens during MiraDry?

    The MiraDry procedure involves applying local anesthesia to the underarm area, followed by the placement of the MiraDry handpiece directly on the skin. The device uses thermal energy to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands. The procedure is painless, and most patients return to their regular activities immediately afterward.

    Recovery

    There is minimal downtime associated with MiraDry. Some minor swelling, soreness, or redness may occur in the treated area, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.

    Post-Operative Care

    After the procedure, you should apply ice packs to the treated area and take over-the-counter pain medication if needed. Avoid intense physical activity for a few days to allow your body to heal.

    Addressing Mild To Moderate Issues

    MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment primarily used to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. It can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing mild to moderate issues such as:

    • Mild to Moderate Sweating: MiraDry is effective in treating mild to moderate underarm sweating. While it's often marketed towards those with severe sweating (hyperhidrosis), individuals with less severe sweat issues can also benefit from reduced perspiration.
    • Occasional Odor Issues: Even if your body odor isn't a constant issue, occasional bouts can still be embarrassing. MiraDry helps by eliminating the sweat and odor glands in your underarms, reducing both sweat and the bacteria that can cause odor.
    • Antiperspirant Irritation: If you experience mild irritation or discomfort from antiperspirants, MiraDry can provide a solution. By reducing underarm sweat, you may no longer need to use these products, thus eliminating the source of irritation.
    • Mild Anxiety about Sweat/Odor: If you have social anxiety related to underarm sweat or odor, even if it's not severe or constant, MiraDry can help alleviate this worry.
    • Reducing Dependence on Deodorants and Antiperspirants: If you're looking to reduce your reliance on these products, either for environmental reasons, cost-saving, or simply convenience, MiraDry can be a solution.
    • Skin Sensitivity: For individuals with sensitive skin who experience irritation from deodorants or antiperspirants, MiraDry can be beneficial by eliminating the need for these products.

    Other Recommendations

    Chemical Peels:

    A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layer of the skin, revealing a more youthful and smoother complexion underneath. This treatment can effectively reduce or eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin pigmentation, thereby improving the overall appearance and health of the skin.

    Laser Hair Removal:

    Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses highly concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. It's one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures, offering a long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair on various parts of the body.

    Before the MiraDry procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the underarm area to minimize discomfort. Post-procedure, patients may experience temporary soreness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.

    Some common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated area. Rarely, patients may experience short-term altered sensation in the skin of their underarms or upper arms.
