miraDry® Permanent Sweat Reduction

Effortless Confidence. Permanently Refined.

miraDry® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to permanently reduce underarm sweat and odor. By utilizing advanced microwave energy, miraDry precisely targets and eliminates sweat glands at their source—delivering lasting results without ongoing maintenance or lifestyle disruption.

At Sakura Aesthetics, miraDry is performed within a discreet, elevated clinical setting where comfort, precision, and refined outcomes are paramount. This treatment is ideal for individuals who value confidence, polish, and freedom from the daily inconvenience of excessive sweating.

What miraDry Treats

miraDry is clinically proven to permanently address:

• Excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis)

• Persistent underarm odor

• Reduction of underarm hair (additional benefit)

Once eliminated, sweat and odor glands do not regenerate—making miraDry a lasting solution.

How miraDry Works

miraDry uses controlled microwave energy to selectively target sweat and odor glands beneath the skin. A built-in cooling system simultaneously protects the surface of the skin, ensuring precision and comfort throughout treatment.

Sweat glands exist only in specific areas of the body. Their removal from the underarms does not interfere with the body’s natural ability to regulate temperature in other areas.

The Treatment Experience

Every miraDry treatment begins with a personalized consultation to ensure the highest level of care and optimal results.

• Treatment Time: Approximately 60–75 minutes

• Comfort: Local anesthetic for a relaxed, comfortable experience

• Downtime: Minimal; most clients resume daily activities within 24–48 hours

Patients typically describe a gentle warming sensation and mild pressure during treatment. Our expert providers ensure a calm, seamless experience from start to finish.

Results & Expectations

Most patients experience a noticeable reduction in sweating and odor immediately following treatment, with continued improvement over several weeks.

• Average sweat reduction: 80–90%

• Results are long-lasting to permanent

• One treatment is sufficient for many patients; some may choose a second session for optimal refinement

Your provider will tailor recommendations based on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is miraDry permanent?

Yes. Once sweat and odor glands are eliminated, they do not regenerate.

Will this affect my body’s ability to cool itself?

No. Underarm sweat glands represent a small percentage of the body’s total sweat glands and their removal does not impact natural thermoregulation.

Is the treatment painful?

The treatment is performed with local anesthetic to ensure comfort. Most patients report no discomfort after the area is anesthetized.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients achieve their desired results with one treatment. Some may benefit from a second session depending on personal severity and goals.

Are there any risks or side effects?

Temporary swelling, tenderness, numbness, or bruising may occur. These effects typically resolve on their own.
