FDA approved for hyperhidrosis


Do you feel like you sweat more noticeably or more often than others? It may not be your imagination. Many men and women struggle with a condition called hyperhidrosis, which is characterized by excessive underarm sweating. Common signs and symptoms that may mean you have hyperhidrosis include:

  • Constant sweating

  • More sweat than normal under the arms

  • Armpit stains on shirts

  • Strong body odor

  • Antiperspirants don’t work

Although sweating is a normal process and naturally occurs in response to stress, fear, exercise, and being in a hot environment, patients with hyperhidrosis may sweat excessively at any time, with or without an obvious cause.

How is hyperhidrosis treated?


To reduce underarm sweating, the expert team at Ageless Grace offers miraDry, a revolutionary treatment was FDA approved to reduce underarm sweating, odor and hair. MiraDry utilizes an advanced thermal energy technology to destroy sweat glands under the arms, leaving patients fresh, dry, and confident. During your miraDry treatment, you will relax in one of our comfortable, private rooms. When you arrive for your treatment, a local anesthetic will be applied to the underarms to eliminate any discomfort associated with the procedure. After applying a template, the miraDry system is then used to gently pull sweat glands toward the skin’s surface, while precise heat energy works to get rid of the glands.

How many miraDry treatments are needed?


Most patients will have noticeable improvements in there symptoms almost immediately after their first treatment, though a sequence of two miraDry sessions is often recommended to achieve complete, reliable, and long-lasting results.

Should I get miraDry or BOTOX® for hyperhidrosis?


Many patients prefer miraDry over BOTOX to treat hyperhidrosis because miraDry offers long-term results, while BOTOX needs to be repeated at fairly frequent intervals to maintain dryness. During your initial consultation for miraDry, we will thoroughly discuss your concerns, answer all your questions,and see if miraDry is right for you.
