What is MiraDry?

MiraDry is a non-invasive procedure that uses microwave energy to target and eliminate sweat glands in the underarm area. It’s FDA-approved and has been proven to be both safe and effective in reducing underarm sweat. The treatment works by emitting energy to destroy sweat glands, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. The best part? These sweat glands do not regenerate, meaning the results are permanent!
