MiraDry® in Kerrville and Houston, TX

miraDry® is a non-surgical treatment that lessens underarm sweat, odor, and hair. It uses thermal energy in targeting and destroying the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. Once removed, these glands do not regrow, resulting in a permanent reduction in sweat and odor. miraDry® can treat both underarm regions in a single session, providing a quick and effective solution for those suffering from excessive sweating and underarm odor.

Ideal candidates are often those who are faced with the inconvenience that perspiration causes.

FAQs

Who is a good candidate for miraDry®?

When will I see the results of miraDry®?

Most patients see immediate results after their miraDry® treatment. Full results, including a significant reduction in sweat and odor, typically develop within a few weeks following the procedure.

How long do the results of miraDry® last?

Is there any downtime or side effects with miraDry®?

How Is MiraDry® Performed?

The miraDry® procedure is conducted in-office by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ernest Layton. A local anesthetic is applied before treatment to lessen your discomfort. Once the area is numbed, the device is placed directly on the skin. There may be a slight suction and cooling sensation as the skin adheres to the device. Thermal energy is then delivered to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands. Once eliminated, these glands do not regenerate.

What should I do before and after miraDry® treatment?

Before your miraDry® treatment, avoid shaving your underarms for a few days and refrain from using antiperspirants. After the treatment, follow the provider’s instructions. Patients can apply ice packs to the treated area and avoid vigorous activities for a few days.

What can I expect during miraDry® treatment?

During the miraDry® treatment, a local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. The miraDry® handpiece is then used to deliver thermal energy to the underarm area, targeting and eliminating the sweat and odor glands. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and patients can usually resume normal activities immediately afterward.
