Using MiraDry as a treatment for hyperhidrosis
Patients with a diagnosis of hyperhidrosis know how it impacts their overall self-confidence. Excessive sweating on a day-to-day basis can ruin not only one’s self-esteem but also one’s clothing. Fortunately, if you are looking for a solution to reduce underarm sweat and have found antiperspirants to be unsuccessful, the team at Pua Manu MedSpa inKapolei, Hawaii, may recommend a solution such as MiraDry. MiraDry is a revolutionary sweat reduction treatment for hyperhidrosis that works with permanent results!
What is MiraDry, and how does it work to treat hyperhidrosis?
MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment used to treat excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. It uses special microwave technology to target and even eliminate sweat glands in the underarm area. The treatment involves using a special handpiece that emits electromagnetic energy into the skin. This energy is specifically designed to target and heat the sweat glands in the underarms without causing damage to surrounding tissues. Once heated, the sweat glands are destroyed and do not regenerate, resulting in a reduction of excessive sweating.
The results are permanent after just one treatment, though several treatments may be needed for optimum improvement. Patients find that after MiraDry, using antiperspirants is enough to manage their condition and keep underarm sweat at bay!
How does MiraDry work?
The process of heating the sweat glands to destroy them is called thermolysis. It eliminates sweat glands in the treated area, thereby reducing sweat. It allows patients diagnosed with hyperhidrosis to find an effective treatment when antiperspirants and prescription medications have failed to work. We find that the results of MiraDry are permanent, allowing patients to improve their confidence!
