miraDry

Yes, miraDry is an FDA-cleared procedure. This treatment works by using thermal energy to eliminate sweat glands and hair from your underarms permanently. The sweat and odor from these glands and hair can affect your self-image and daily life.

This treatment can be great for patients suffering from hyperhidrosis. It can reduce the disruptive symptoms of hyperhidrosis that hold patients back from certain activities.

Not only is this treatment safe, but it is also efficient and produces lasting results. Our technology can dramatically reduce sweat and odor in as little as 1 to 2 treatments. It also requires no downtime so after your session, you can get back to the activities that you have scheduled. We offer sweat reduction services at our Plano, Prosper, and Flower Mound locations.

We can answer any questions that you may have about miraDry during your consultation.

We recommend shaving your underarms just a few days before your treatment. This leaves some time for a small amount of hair to grow back, and we use this hair to determine the target area. Forgetting to complete this step may lead to appointment postponement.

The day before the procedure, you should stop using deodorant or antiperspirant. At the time of your procedure, you will want to wear loose clothing so that the target area is easy to access. Our team will emphasize the importance of preparing accordingly at the time of booking your session. Feel free to ask any questions about how you should best prepare for your sweat reduction treatment.

After your sweat reduction appointment, you should take precautions for the next few days. The post-care process is important for ensuring that you get the best results and avoid any complications.

The days prior to your session you should do the following:

• Apply towel-wrapped ice packs to the treated area.
• Use anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling.
• Keep the treated area clean.
• Apply an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection.
• Avoid shaving.
• Avoid applying antiperspirant or deodorant.
• Do not Exercise.
• Avoid saunas and submerging in hot water for at least 2 weeks.
• Wear loose-fitting tops to avoid underarm irritation for the next few days.

Your provider will go over the post-care process and answer any questions during your consultation. How you go about the post-care process can also affect the duration of your results. At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we educate clients on the best practices for recovering from their sweat reduction treatment. Feel free to follow-up with your provider if you have any questions or concerns after your treatment.
