Excessive underarm sweating, also known as axillary hyperhidrosis, can significantly impact your confidence, clothing choices, and comfort in social situations. Traditional treatments like antiperspirants and Botox offer temporary relief, but MiraDry is a revolutionary solution that provides long-term, often permanent results. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Kristi Hustak, provides MiraDry to patients in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas.
What is MiraDry?
MiraDry is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses microwave energy to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarms. Once these glands are destroyed, they don’t regenerate — offering a permanent reduction in sweat and odor.
How MiraDry Works
– A local anesthetic is applied to the underarm area
– A handheld device delivers controlled microwave energy to the skin
– The energy heats and destroys the sweat glands
– A cooling mechanism protects the skin surface for comfort
Benefits of MiraDry
– Immediate and lasting results
– Non-surgical and no downtime
– Reduces both sweat and odor
– Can also minimize underarm hair
Most patients see a dramatic reduction in sweat — up to 82% after just one treatment. Some may opt for a second session for even greater effectiveness.
Who is a Good Candidate?
– Adults 18+ suffering from bothersome underarm sweating
– Those who want a long-term alternative to antiperspirants
– Anyone seeking freedom from sweat stains, odor, and daily deodorant use
MiraDry is especially appealing to professionals, athletes, and brides-to-be preparing for major life events.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
– Procedure takes about an hour
– Minimal discomfort with local anesthesia
– Mild swelling or sensitivity for a few days
– Most return to work or normal activities the same day
Results are typically seen immediately, with continued improvement over the next few weeks.
