Are you tired of sweating through your clothes? Tired of the stress and anxiety in social situations from having excessive sweat? Ready to feel confident in whatever you wear? MiraDry is an innovative solution that can eliminate excessive sweating for good.

What Is MiraDry?

MiraDry is a device that treats hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating. The technology destroys sweat glands and the cells that produce odor under your arms. If you are a good candidate, Dr. Shridharani or one of his skilled nurse assistants places a temporary grid on the location where you need treatment. The amount of time the treatment takes depends on the size of the grid — ultimately, the size of the area where you have sweat glands under your arms.

The doctor or one of his assistants injects a small amount of lidocaine into the area he will be treating. The microwave energy from the miraDry system destroys hair follicles and sweat glands, eliminating both sweat glands and up to 70% of underarm hair growth.

For patients who tire of constantly shaving their underarms, this treatment can have the added bonus of making personal grooming easier!
