miraDry differs from temporary procedures like Botox® because it doesn’t require repeated treatments to achieve results. Unlike surgery, which can also deliver a permanent reduction in sweat production, miraDry doesn’t require incisions and can be performed under local anaesthesia and therefore there is no lengthy recovery.
Consultant Vascular Surgeon, Mr David Greenstein at Karidis Clinic revealed that MiraDry has the ability to reduce the production of sweat by up to 82 percent.
"miraDry is a very reliable treatment for excessive sweating and is clinically proven to reduce sweat production by 82% with impressive results after just one treatment. Some people will need a follow-up treatment.
Side effects can include swelling, numbness, bruising, and sensitivity for a couple of days post-treatment.
Some patients might experience an altered sensation in the underarm or upper arm skin but this gradually subsides.
Some patients worry that the treatment will prevent the body from effectively cooling down but we have between 2-4 million sweat glands in the body and only about 2% are found in the underarms, so after the treatment the rest of the body will continue to sweat normally, meaning it will have no problem cooling itself.
The treatment has an optimal safety record and is one of the most permanent sweat solutions available."
