A non-invasive treatment for hyperhidrosis, or excess sweating, miraDry® also has another lesser-known use: to remove unwanted underarm hair. If you are struggling with excessive underarm sweat and would like the added bonus of less armpit hair, miraDry could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
How miraDry Works to Stop Hair Growth
MiraDry is currently FDA-cleared for use in the underarm area only.
MiraDry uses electromagnetic energy to target and disable overactive sweat glands in the underarm area. You should notice a significant reduction in underarm sweat after getting miraDry. But don’t worry — your body will still be able to cool down through the many other sweat glands located throughout your body.
As an added bonus, this process also heats hair follicles in the treated area, which can slow and even stop hair growth. For many people with hyperhidrosis, having less underarm hair helps keep the area even cooler and more comfortable.
Unlike laser hair removal, miraDry is able to treat hair of all colors — not just dark hair. So those who may not be a great candidate for laser hair removal could see results from miraDry.
Who’s a Candidate for miraDry?
Virtually anyone who is struggling with excessive underarm sweating could be a good candidate for miraDry. Most people enjoy long-lasting results after a single miraDry treatment, and since it is a non-surgical procedure, there’s no downtime to plan for afterward.
