The MiraDry device precisely delivers electromagnetic (microwave) energy to the underarm sweat glands to permanently eliminate them. We specialise in MiraDry treatment for excessive underarm sweating and provide you with a full medical assessment of your condition. Our MiraDry treatment is available at our Cairns clinic.

MiraDry may be appropriate if you are wanting to permanently reduce underarm sweat and odour, want a long-term alternative to 8 monthly injections for your excessive underarm sweating or want to wear lighter coloured tops or reduce underarm clothing stains or wet patches. While MiraDry results vary, most patients report seeing a sweat reduction of around 86%. After the first procedure, you will see results immediately. 90% of patients experience an 80% in sweat reduction with a single treatment.

Because your underarms only have about 2% of your body’s sweat glands, eliminating them will not stop your body’s natural cooling process.

Each MiraDry treatment is customized for the patient’s underarm area. To ensure you remain comfortable, local anaesthesia is used before the treatment commences.

While some patients report feeling localised swelling and/or soreness, this generally clears up in a few weeks. In rare cases, patients can experience short-term numbness in the underarm area or the skin of the upper arms.
