WHAT IS MICROWAVE TREATMENT

MiraDry® is a device that uses electromagnetic microwaves to vaporize and eliminate eccrine and apocrine sweat glands in the armpits. It was the first device to obtain FDA approval for the definitive treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis.

Description of the procedure

It only takes two sessions, each lasting an hour, to rid the patient of all the discomfort caused by excessive underarm perspiration. And in many cases, the result is immediate.

The device will then be positioned over the outlined areas and the waves will be triggered. The doctor will demarcate the areas in the armpits where the device will be used. After demarcation, a local anesthetic is applied to make the procedure painless.

The device will then be positioned over the outlined areas and the waves will be triggered. The intense heat will act on the inner layers of the skin and the glands will be vaporized. On the outside, the MiraDry® generates a cold layer, thus avoiding the possibility of any abrasion causing discomfort to the patient. The patient can return to their daily activities the same day.

The microwaves also destroy the apocrine glands, which are responsible for the characteristic odor of excess perspiration in the armpits. The hair in these areas is also destroyed during the applications, improving the aesthetics of these areas of the body.

Are there any side effects?

The application of microwaves is safe, there are no reports of side effects and it is the therapy most recommended by doctors around the world, thanks to the almost absolute percentage of successfully treated cases.

What are the risks of surgery?

MiraDry® is a safe treatment, with no contraindications, carried out on the surface of the skin and which is considered worldwide to be the definitive solution for Axillary Hyperhidrosis.

What is the length of hospitalization and discharge?

The applications are carried out in a doctor's surgery, eliminating the need for hospitalization. As far as work activity is concerned, after two days the patient can return to work.
