MiraDry NYC Clinic – Hyperhidrosis Treatment and MiraDry New York
What is Hyperhidrosis and Excessive Sweating?
Hyperhidrosis is otherwise known as excessive sweating. Nearly 2%- 3% of Americans suffer from excessive underarm sweating and/or excessive sweating of the palms and feet. This disorder commonly begins in adolescence and can continue throughout a person’s life if it is not treated.
Excessive sweating can negatively affect confidence, relationships, and overall ability to interact in social situations comfortably.
Medicated deodorants are available over the counter or by prescription, but many people with this condition find little relief in these antiperspirants. This can be especially true for people living in New York City since much of a New Yorker’s life is spent walking outside or in a hot subway.
One effective & clinically proven way to combat hyperhidrosis is with the FDA-approved treatment called MiraDry®.
What is MiraDry®?
Unlike other procedures that can be invasive, painful, and cause side effects, the MiraDry® procedure is a nonsurgical and simple solution for patients who suffer from excessive underarm sweating. When treating MiraDay, thermal energy targets and destroys both odor and sweat glands in your underarms.
These odor-causing glands are permanently shut down within one to two hyperhidrosis treatments. This means you do not have to worry about them growing back or becoming a problem again, making the MiraDry® treatment a permanent solution to excessive underarm sweat.
MiraDry® uses an FDA-approved device to deliver controlled electromagnetic energy to target specific sweat glands beneath the skin. This energy effectively destroys the sweat glands without damaging the top layer of the skin. By eliminating the sweat glands, MiraDry® permanently stops you from sweating.
The treatment destroys sweat glands under the armpits and has been shown to reduce underarm sweating and odor by more than 80%. A recent study has shown that MiraDry® procedures are an effective long-term treatment option for more than 90% of people.
MiraDry has not been approved for any area on the body other than the underarm area.

Preparing for Your MiraDry® Procedure
Preparing for your MiraDry® procedures appointment is easy.
Shaving your underarms three days before your treatment begins is recommended. When you arrive for your treatment, there should be a small amount of hair growth, which will help the MiraDry® specialist identify the underarm area that needs to be treated.
If you forget to shave at least three days before your appointment, you may want to speak with your doctor about your appointment. On the day of the treatment, you should wear a shirt with loose armholes that can be easily cleaned.
During the treatment, it is advised that men wear a tank top or no shirt and women wear a tank top, sports bra, or camisole.
What Your MiraDry® Treatments Will Entail
Your appointment should last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Many clients like to bring headphones and their phones to listen to music during the treatment to help pass the time.
Preparation:
The treatment area is numbed using local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
A temporary grid is applied to the underarm to mark the treatment area and guide the device.
Treatment:
The MiraDry® handpiece is placed on the marked grid.
Then, the device uses thermal energy to heat the sweat and odor glands in the dermal-fat interface, a specific layer of the skin. The energy targets and destroys these glands, reducing the amount of sweat and odor produced.
Simultaneously, the device cools the outer layers of the skin to protect it and minimize discomfort.
You may feel a slight pinching or pulling sensation and minor discomfort (occasional brief “hot spots”).
Post-Treatment:
After the treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, and mild pain in the treated areas of the skin, but the overall side effects of the MiraDry® procedure should be minimal.
Recovering from MiraDry® can take anywhere between a few days to two weeks. After your appointment for MiraDry®, you should notice an immediate reduction in underarm sweat.
You may also notice that your underarms are red and experience light to mild swelling. They may also be numb for a few hours following the hyperhidrosis treatment.
Numbness may also be experienced in your arms after the treatment.
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, although they are advised to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days.
Results:
After one treatment, patients typically notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating, odor, and hair growth.
Some patients may require a second treatment for optimal results.
How Long Does a MiraDry Treatment Last?
MiraDry is not a temporary solution to excessive underarm sweating. It is a permanent one. Since the treatment totally destroys targeted underarms and other areas of sweat and odor glands, they do not grow back.
You can expect to experience relief from overly sweaty underarms for a long time to come. Depending on the severity of your hypohidrosis, your doctor may recommend two appointments instead of one.
